How many people do you know have a heart after God? the Bible tells us King David had a heart after God. To those of you who know the story, David did some awful things in his life; many serious sins did he commit. Nonetheless, despite his behavior God still said David had a heart after God (Himself). What did King David do that no other King did before or after him? One thing David did was create a tent in which prayer was offered to God 24/7. Every day, every hour of the day for years prayers were offered up to God from David's tent. Many of you may not know that such a tent exists in Washington DC in our nations capital. David's tent is a large size tent on the Mall in Washington DC founded by a man with a heart after God. His name is Jason Hershey and this podcast is an interview with him. Jason is an old friend, a father of nine children. He came out of YWAM background and God is using him to send a message. The desire to pray to God comes from a priest's heart. Come listen to Jason describe his stories of how God moved in his life to establish a place in our nation's capital. Time will tell how David's Tent has changed the trajectory of our nation.Whatever your religious affiliation or your spiritual condition. A connection to God in prayer is of paramount importance to your life. If you don't think so, don't bother listening to this podcast. However, if you do think so, this podcast is for you.Blessings:Papa Tom
The stock market is showing interesting signals and today we discuss the latest market developments. Renewed geopolitical tensions are driving investors back into large technology and AI stocks while other sectors lag. Patience and caution remain important as economic signals continue to conflict. We cover housing market weakness, consumer spending, wage growth, market valuations, and the Federal Reserve's outlook. We also explored how commodity prices impact businesses and stock performance, shared expectations for future energy prices, and why looking beneath the major indexes is essential to understanding the true health of the market. We discuss... The ongoing rotation between market sectors and why market leadership continues to remain narrow. Why looking beneath the major indexes provides a better picture of overall market health than index performance alone. How commodity prices, particularly cocoa, can significantly impact corporate profits and stock prices. Why cocoa prices have pressured companies like Hershey and what improving crop conditions could mean going forward. We reviewed current oil and gasoline price trends and why pump prices have remained elevated despite falling crude oil prices. Our outlook for oil prices and why increased global production could push prices lower in the coming months. The housing market, including rising days on market and slowing home price growth. Consumer spending, wage growth, and the mixed economic signals creating uncertainty for investors. How AI investment is affecting technology companies and whether those massive investments will ultimately generate meaningful profits. Why many consumers are becoming fatigued with traditional news and increasingly turning to podcasts and online communities for information. Why maintaining patience, caution, and adequate liquidity remains important as markets face elevated valuations and political uncertainty heading into the midterm elections.

Vinny, the 'Trifecta' measurement strategy isn't a new concept, yet most brands still can't bridge the gap between brand and commerce. In your experience, what is the most essential first step to breaking down those organizational silos and finally unifying measurement?"How are you thinking about short vs. long term ROI when it comes to investing in brand vs commerce media networks? Especially as it relates to onsite and offsite digital media buys with RMNs. What's your way to assess incrementality and how hard a dollar is truly working for Hershey's bottom line?Vinny, you truly put the business first, always thinking about what's best for Hershey. Can you share a bit about how you've thought about the economics regardless of funding source and the depth of your relationship with the Chief Sales Officer?As you think about the future, the rise of more sophisticated commerce media network offering, there is a temptation by many brands to think about 1;1 closed loop measurement. However your philosophy is quite different - embracing the need to triangulate decisions using ROI, signal-based data, and 'control vs. exposed' groups. How have you been able to convince your organization there's a better way forward…and really modernize measurement with agentic AI Hershey is consistently at the cutting edge of measurement. How does this sophistication influence your media and commerce partnerships?
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Trump said his tentative ceasefire with Iran is done, raising the prospect of a renewed military conflict between the two countries. Trump's remarks came after the US launched a new wave of strikes against Iran and revoked a waiver that allowed the sale of Iranian oil, in response to recent attacks on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The developments marked the most serious threat to the interim peace deal, with the US blaming Iran for the attacks on shipping, and Tehran saying the military strikes and waiver revocation violated the agreement between the two countries.2) New York City officials were racing to stabilize a high-rise building in Manhattan after cracks developed in multiple columns and floors began to sag. The building remains unstable, according to Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who said this is an extremely serious situation. A team entered the structure and determined that contractors can move forward with the installation of temporary shoring to stabilize the building, according to city officials.3) Nvidia's stock is the cheapest it's been since before the AI boom, after losing roughly $1 trillion in market value in less than two months. The chipmaker's stock has tumbled 16% since hitting an all-time high on May 14, as investors favor competing semiconductor manufacturers, particularly those in the memory market. Nvidia is expected to deliver the fourth-fastest revenue growth in the S&P 500 this year, but its shares are still cheaper than about half of the stocks in the index, including Hershey and Dominion Energy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With Scope 3 accounting for over 90% of overall emissions, Starbucks has seen its GHG footprint grow by 7% overall since 2019.The reassessment of the goal comes as the company takes “a fresh, comprehensive look at our sustainability goals,” according to a blog post by Starbucks' Chief Sustainability and Social Impact Officer Kelly Goodejohn, as part of the company's ‘Back to Starbucks' strategy initiated by CEO Brain Niccol. From the Impact Report:Overall Grants from the Starbucks FoundationFY25 $13.6M ($31M)FY24 $21.4M ($96M)Delaware Court of Chancery Interprets New Section 144 and Applies Heightened Presumption of Director IndependenceThe Opinion arose in a common context in Delaware stockholder litigation: claims over director and management compensation. In the decision, Vice Chancellor Lori W. Will applied, for the first time, the statute's heightened presumption of independence for directors of public companies determined by the board to be independent under the relevant NYSE or Nasdaq listing standards to dismiss derivative claims on demand futility grounds.In conducting the demand futility analysis, which looks to whether a majority of the board can independently consider a stockholder demand to bring derivative litigation, the Court reasoned that the new statutory language requiring a plaintiff to plead “substantial and particularized facts” to rebut the “heightened” presumption of independence sets a higher bar than under pre-existing law. Specifically, the Court held that the addition of “substantial” to the existing standard that already required particularized facts meant that “a plaintiff must plead specific, non-conclusory facts of sufficient qualitative significance to support a reasonable inference of a material interest or relationship that would impair the director's objective judgment.” The Court was clear that it is not a matter of quantity but rather quality, observing that “a collection of trivial facts” will not rise to the level of materiality required to satisfy this “heightened” standard. Applying that standard to the facts in the case, the Court concluded that the plaintiff's allegations of various overlapping board positions, overlapping investments, and other “business ties” with the company's founder and non-executive chairman were not sufficiently material.DR2The Boardroom Buy-InThe Taser CEO Who Says AI Is the Future of PolicingTaser and body-cam king Rick Smith is betting Axon's dominance—and his own pay package—on his tech-driven vision66% influenceRick Smith: Every 30 seconds one of his Tasers is fired by somebody in the U.S., usually a police officer.The pay package he and his board put together catapulted him to the top of last year's list of the highest-paid CEOs, with a compensation package valued at $164.4 million.33% no 2025; 10% no 2026Smith has already hit three of seven goals.

The Kyoto-based gaming giant has recently announced a 10% increase to base salaries for its employees, a move that highlights its commitment to talent retention while everyone else is laying off employees.Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa made the announcement during a recent shareholder meeting, emphasising that maintaining competitive compensation is central to the company's strategy. The raise applies to the company's workforce, which has grown to over 8,200 employees, the highest headcount in Nintendo's history.IN: CEO Shuntaro Furukawa's (18%) annual executive compensation at Nintendo generally totals around $2.5MOUT: 63% of shares held by institutional investors. What the hell do these suits know about video games? IN: Of six outside directors, 3 are women (20% average in Japan)IN: Because they literally have questions like this at their annual meeting, in fact it was the first one: “With the release of Splatoon Raiders approaching, how does Nintendo evaluate the previous title, Splatoon 3? Some players experienced communication errors and discrepancies in hit detection in that title. I feel that Nintendo's response to these issues may not have been consistent with “sincerity,” one of the values in the Nintendo DNA.”Copart CEO Jeff Liaw to step down, Jay Adair to returnCEO Jeff Liaw will step down from his position and leave the board of directors effective July 31, 2026.Executive Chairman Jay Adair to resume the CEO role on the same date.

The department issued a technical release in April warning that proxy advisory firms may be subject to ERISA fiduciary standards and that proxy voting is a fiduciary act under the law that must be carried out “for the exclusive purpose of maximizing risk-adjusted return.”From the technical release in April: The Department has long recognized that voting rights and other shareholder rights attributable to shares held by ERISA-governed employee benefit plans are plan assets in their own right. Accordingly, management of those rights is subject to ERISA's fiduciary duties, including the duties of prudence and loyalty. The Department first issued guidance on this topic in the 1980s. For example, a 1988 letter (Avon Letter) noted that “it is the Department's position that the decision as to how proxies should be voted . . . are fiduciary acts of plan asset management.”(2)Proxy advisory firms may also be functional fiduciaries under ERISA section 3(21)(A)(ii) by providing investment advice for a fee to plans with respect to property of that plan.Here's why it's interesting:Defining fiduciaries as those who provide advice for a fee means everyone selling research is a fiduciary if the research is used in an investment decisionThe DOL is squarely defining proxy voting as a fiduciary act - which means that there can be no rational apathy as Mike Levin likes to talk about - if voting your proxies is definitionally your fiduciary duty, you can't defer it or ignore itIf you vote 99% in favor of management, you definitionally are ignoring your fiduciary duty - half of companies will underperform some peer set, meaning they produced fewer returns than peers, in any given year. So you either set the time frame longer (thus forcing the inclusion of long term data like climate and social factors) and say that in any one year it makes sense to vote with management to allow them time to execute strategy, OR you should be voting against nearly half of management proposals for underperformers each year because they are not producing pecuniary returnsGovernance chairs remain under pressure as investor scrutiny rises despite rising support for directors, research showsISS found that the MEDIAN support for directors has hit 98%They found that governance/nom chairs (those are specifically governance/nom committee chairs) had median support of 94.1%Pay chairs had 96.9% supportMM2The Boardroom Buy-InJPMorgan built a pipeline of female CEO candidates that was the envy of Wall Street.

In Vietnam, China and Japan kissing between spouses is only done in private. While people from the Netherlands opt for 3 kisses as a form of greeting. In one survey, 23% said that their kissing skills were amazing, while 2% said that they were horrible at it. They also reported that the worst attributes of a bad kisser were bad breath, too much tongue, teeth gnashing, not enough tongue and no eye contact.

On today's episode, we welcome Charles Coristine, CEO of LesserEvil — one of the fastest-growing better-for-you snack brands in the country. Charles' entrepreneurial journey didn't begin in the food industry. In fact, he left a successful career on Wall Street and took a chance on a struggling popcorn company that was worth less than $1 million at the time. With no food industry experience but a strong belief that consumers deserved snacks made with better ingredients, he set out to transform LesserEvil into something much bigger. In this episode, Charles shares the lessons he learned from betting on himself, building a challenger brand in a crowded category, and scaling LesserEvil from a small popcorn company into a national snack brand. We also discuss product innovation, the creation of fan favorites like Moonions and Cheezmos, what it takes to stay true to your mission as you grow, and how he approached the company's acquisition by Hershey. Charles' story is a powerful reminder that some of the biggest opportunities come from seeing potential where others see problems. Listen and learn!

On Episode 488 we discuss parties with whole pigs, the 4th of July, and Anaheim history. We also get into the future of NBC/Universal and a Donkey spinoff. We also look at some trailers including a Hershey biopic that doesn't seem real. What We're Watching: Disclosure Day Supergirl Spider-Noir
My guest today is Bruce Hershey, co-founder and partner of the CMO Whisperer Advisory and someone I've known for at least 15 years. He's a brother. He's a mentor. He's a friend. He's a confidant. He's everything. He's also one of those rare leaders who has sat in just about every seat that matters. He's a former global CMO of the Year, a senior executive, operator, entrepreneur, and business builder whose career spans more than three decades across major brands, agencies, startups, and founder-led companies. But what has always stood out to me the most about Bruce isn't just the resume; it's the way he sees around corners. He has this incredible ability to connect leadership vision to operational reality, marketing to revenue, and strategy to actual execution.A big reason the CMO Whisper Advisory exists the way it does today is because of the conversations Bruce and I have had over the years about what companies, CMOs and leaders are really doing behind closed doors. Not the polished conference room version. The real version.
Chef Elizabeth Falkner has spent her career treating food as something far more than sustenance. It is art. It is theater. It is a living expression of culture, memory, and the human desire to connect.

380: Think you're eating chocolate? Maybe not. In this episode, I'm breaking down what's really hiding behind some of the most recognizable chocolate brands on grocery store shelves. After digging through FDA regulations, ingredient labels, lawsuits, recalls, and independent lab testing, I found that many products marketed as "chocolate" don't actually meet the standards most people assume they do. We'll talk about the difference between real cacao and chocolate-flavored candy, why ingredients like palm oil and PGPR matter, what recent testing found in certain chocolate products, and how to identify truly high-quality chocolate if you're looking for the health benefits often associated with cacao. Plus, I share my favorite 100% cacao brands, why I eat chocolate every day, and what the research actually says about chocolate's impact on heart health, antioxidants, gut health, and more. If you're a chocolate lover, this episode may completely change the way you shop for chocolate. Topics Discussed: → What legally qualifies as real chocolate? → How to spot fake chocolate on ingredient labels → Why some popular chocolate brands use vegetable oils instead of cocoa butter → The difference between U.S. and European chocolate standards → Artificial dyes, additives, and controversial chocolate ingredients → Heavy metals found in certain chocolate products → Why real cacao has earned its health reputation → The benefits of cacao flavanols and polyphenols → How to choose high-quality dark chocolate → The best 100% cacao chocolate brands As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.

Alan once again sits down with Dr. David Clark for a deep dive into a massive paradigm shift shaking up the Bioclear Method! Dave discusses the clinical realities driving the development of the new Tooth and Surface Specific (TSS) matrix system and drops a bombshell announcement: the wholesale transition away from legacy composites toward color-stable materials. They explore why whole-tooth restorations face severe color shifts over time, how new Japanese filler particle technologies from Kuraray and GC prevent these failures, and how the introduction of "super flowables" allows clinicians to completely skip paste composites for faster, stronger restorations. From specialized "Hershey's Kiss" Calla Lily burs to the physical mechanics of achieving a tight interproximal contact without packable materials, this episode is packed with game-changing clinical insights you cannot afford to miss.

George Pullman built his employees a sparkling company town with clean homes, parks, libraries, luxury trains, and some of the best living conditions in the country—but demanded obedience in return. When recession hit and workers rebelled against wage cuts and paternalistic control, the conflict exploded into one of the most violent labor crises in American history. Featuring Eugene V. Debs, federal troops in Chicago, luxury sleeper trains, class warfare, and a rogue alligator loose in South Chicago, this is the story of how America nearly tore itself apart over the question: can capitalism become humane without becoming authoritarian?

Erichsen Geld & Gold, der Podcast für die erfolgreiche Geldanlage
Wir sprechen heute über die top defensive Dividendenaktien der letzten Jahrzehnte. Dabei geht es um Unternehmen wie McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Hershey, Constellation Brands und viele weitere große Namen, mit denen Anleger in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten in der Regel gut gefahren sind. Diese Unternehmen haben sich insbesondere dadurch ausgezeichnet, dass sie selbst in Krisenzeiten zuverlässig Dividenden gezahlt und diese in den meisten Fällen sogar kontinuierlich erhöht haben. Doch nun zeichnet sich ein immer stärker werdender Trend rund um GLP-1-Medikamente ab. Die entscheidende Frage lautet daher: Könnten diese Medikamente dazu führen, dass die Erfolgsära dieser Dividendenstars ihrem Ende entgegengeht? ► Hole dir jetzt deinen Zugang zur brandneuen BuyTheDip App!

MrBeast's valuation has jumped from $1.5B to around $5B, with Feastables alone bringing in roughly $250M a year.

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince tackle a rumor mill moment first: Robert Malone claims RFK Jr. is set to resign as HHS Secretary in July, and HHS immediately fires back calling it fake news. Jordan, who has tracked Malone's track record before, is skeptical but keeping receipts. Then things get heavy fast. Senator Ron Johnson calls the COVID vaccine cover up a scandal bigger than Watergate, and a powerful clip from a Children's Health Defense event captures the moment people realized the system was lying to them. On a lighter note, RFK and Ben Greenfield talk biohacking basics: sunlight, breathwork, and why you do not need fifty bottles of skincare products. The FDA approves a new sunscreen ingredient after 25 years, and Jordan explains why most drugstore sunscreens are trash. Plus, ivermectin shows real promise in cancer treatment, screwworm creeps back into Texas, and a new study links ultra processed food to a 60 percent higher dementia risk. Coke and Hershey are apparently on board with MAHA now. Sure.

In this episode, we're joined again by Amy Ziegler to talk about an exciting new immersive event at The Hershey Story Museum: “A Sweet Beginning: Milton Hershey at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.” We explore how a single moment at the fair—when Hershey encountered European chocolate-making machinery—changed the course of his life and helped shape the future of chocolate in America.
There's a lot more in Hershey than Chocolate! Hershey is a company town, named for Milton S. Hershey, the chocolate man who built a candy empire, and a thriving town that's one of the top tourist attractions in Pennsylvania...with a 4th grade education. It's an amazing story, but after I've told you that history, and the history of the big HersheyPark amusement park, we're going to leave chocolate behind, and talk about something I'm much more comfortable with: booze and food. So there's an interview with Coty Edwards, the master distiller at Hidden Still Spirits. They're making some really good bourbon, and bottling genuine tequila, too. There's also a short interview with Matt Gundrum, director of brewing operations at the resurrected Iron Hill Brewing right there in Hershey (and Philly, and Lancaster, and Wilmington, and Huntingdon Valley). It's a very happy story. I visited some fun places in the area, like The Filling Station, and Gary's Bar, Pronio's Market and the Hershey Fresh Market (and little Pikku Piru!), Parkside Hotel, and Tröegs Independent Brewing. The next day I made a shortcut batch of stuffed peppers with Cathy's idea assistance, and I'll tell you how that worked; pantry cooking! There's a progress report on the new book (with a new working title: Whiskey: An Illustrated Primer), and a little bit of personal excitement about going to a friend's Juneteenth celebration. What I'm Drinking Today is a Heaven Hill Deatsville Edition 13 Year Old Bourbon, aged in a type of warehouse you may never have seen before. Did it affect the flavor? I think it might have...or maybe..."oh hell, that don't work at all." Next episode will be about...something. Yup. Again. See you in two weeks! Until then? TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE PODCAST!

Fred Laluyaux has spent 25 years on the same problem: enterprises are drowning in decisions no human should be making. With 50 million digitized decisions across companies like Unilever, Exxon, and Hershey, he now has the data to prove it. When operators override the machine, performance goes down. Not sometimes — in aggregate, every time. In this episode, Fred breaks down the agentic vs. deterministic tradeoff most CIOs are getting wrong, why the software stack most companies rely on today is heading for collapse, and what a company whose entire stack is just SAP and Aera tells you about where enterprise software is going. Hit play. 3 Takeaways: After 50 million digitized decisions, the data is clear: when operators override the machine, performance drops. One Aera customer runs their entire operation on SAP and Aera. Nothing in between. That's where the stack is going. Fred calls them "born in digital" decisions — they can't be made by humans because the value is gone before the meeting starts. Chapters: [03:08] Fred's Career Journey and Lessons Learned [05:17] Why Aera Was Created [05:45] The Vision for a Self-Driving Enterprise [08:28] The Decision Memory Problem in AI [10:28] The Reality of AI ROI [11:58] From Analytics to Decision Intelligence [12:56] Humans vs Fully Autonomous Systems [15:28] What It Means to Digitize Decisions [18:42] How Aera Actually Works [22:42] Trust, Governance, and the Waymo Analogy [27:51] Deterministic vs Agentic AI [29:13] The Cloud Capacity Wake-Up Call [30:15] Where Aera Fits in the Enterprise Stack [31:54] Fast ROI and the “4-4-4” Framework [32:55] Why the Software Stack Is Collapsing [36:21] Delayering Organizations and New AI Roles [39:02] Born-Digital Companies and Micro-Decisions [43:57] Explainability, Governance, and Feedback Loops About Fred: Fred Laluyaux is Co-Founder, President, and CEO of Aera Technology, the leader in decision intelligence and creator of Aera, the first decision intelligence agent. An entrepreneur and Silicon Valley veteran, Fred brings an impressive track record building successful startups and driving technology innovation. Prior to launching Aera, Fred was the CEO of Anaplan, which he grew to a $1 billion valuation. He has held several executive positions at SAP, Business Objects, and ALG Software. As a thought leader on the future of work and host of the Decision Intelligence podcast, Fred frequently shares his vision with influencers through media interviews and speaking engagements at industry conferences. His views have been published in business and trade publications. A technology and startup advisor, Fred is an investor and active board member of several startups in the U.S. and Europe. Guest Highlights: "We're in 2026, and the reality is that our models have not changed for 100 years. We're still relying on people to decide how to forecast, how to allocate inventory, how to change a plan." "We've got enough data, I mentioned the 50 million decisions, to demonstrate that whenever the humans are touching the system and are messing with the recommendation, they actually degrade the performance." "The autonomy is not another version or better version of my planning tool or my replenishment tool. It replaces the need to have a human touch with that software, and therefore I don't need that software anymore."

Live event info and tickets here. When ingredient costs skyrocket, companies have three basic options: They can raise their prices (a sort of product-specific inflation), shrink the size of the products (often called “shrinkflation”), or, sometimes, find more creative ways to reduce costs by degrading the quality of their products - which our very own Greg Rosalsky has dubbed as “skimpflation.” The latest alleged culprit? Hershey's.The Hershey Company is using ingredients in some of their Reese's candies that — legally — they cannot call milk chocolate or peanut butter. This has infuriated Brad Reese, a grandson of H.B. Reese, the inventor of the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. On today's show, why chocolate makers might be skimping on chocolate and peanut butter, what else might explain these ingredients, and how Brad Reese has launched a skimp-shaming campaign to get Hershey's to go back to using classic Reese's ingredients.And – EXCLUSIVE – you'll hear Planet Money break some big news to third-generation peanut butter cup scion Brad Reese.Pre-order the Planet Money book and get a free gift. / Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode was hosted by Greg Rosalsky and Sarah Gonzalez.
