Patrick McKenzie (patio11) reads an essay about "industrial-scale" fraud and why it should be treated as a professional business process rather than a series of isolated accidents. He explains how fraudsters leverage specialized supply chains—shared CPAs, incorporation agents, and "least attentive" banks—to loot public funds. Patrick argues that the government's "pay-and-chase" model is fundamentally broken and suggests that simple "proof of work" functions, like a 30-second cell phone video of a workspace, could provide the visceral signal that paperwork lacks, and examines the state's lack of "object permanence" regarding serial fraudsters and how scaled data provides the defense-side advantage needed to catch modern frauds.–Full transcript available here: www.complexsystemspodcast.com/fraud-as-infrastructure/–Presenting Sponsor: Mercury Complex Systems is presented by Mercury—radically better banking for founders.

Europe's debate about gender equity in venture has moved beyond awareness and intention. The real question now is much sharper: how does capital actually move, where does it get stuck, and what genuinely changes outcomes for women building companies today?In this episode, Andreas sits down with Debbie Wosskow, a serial founder, investor, and Chair of the UK's Invest in Women Task Force, to discuss what she has learned from 25 years inside the system. This is a conversation about incentives, power, institutional capital, and why gender equity in venture is not a “nice to have” but a performance strategy.We move from founder mindset to investor behavior to ecosystem and government-level levers and end with a clear-eyed reflection on DEI, ESG, and feminism. At a moment when many are retreating, but the case for backing women has never been stronger.Context: the data doesn't lie, and it isn't improving fast enough

France is set to send letters toa ll 29-year-old citizens, as a reminder to ‘have a baby while you can.' The move is part of the government's 16-point plan to increase fertility rates.

In Episode 38 of Quite Frankly, Frankie Val takes a focused look at the ongoing confusion surrounding recent Epstein-related document releases and the way both mainstream and alternative media have handled the fallout. The episode centers on how partial information, misread filings, and emotionally driven commentary have fueled widespread misunderstanding, turning complex legal material into viral but inaccurate narratives. Frankie walks through the structural differences between evidence, testimony, sealed records, and document dumps, explaining why many claims circulating online do not align with what the documents actually show. The discussion also addresses the incentive systems driving sensational coverage, including engagement pressure, outrage cycles, and the erosion of credibility when speed replaces accuracy. Throughout the episode, Frankie emphasizes discernment, patience, and personal responsibility in information consumption, arguing that reckless amplification damages legitimate inquiry and ultimately benefits the very systems critics claim to oppose. The episode serves as a broader reflection on media literacy, narrative discipline, and the long-term consequences of treating speculation as remember fact.

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) reads an essay about the business of check cashing, a misunderstood industry. He explains why cashing a check is actually a "new credit extension" where the bank bets on both the writer and the payee, and why profit-maximizing institutions often decline to bank individuals who represent even a "material risk" of a single bounced check. From the manual "rituals" of endorsement to the way fintechs like Ingo Money and Cash App use persistent identity to narrow the risk envelope, Patrick examines the technical and social reasons why some people pay to access their own wages, others don't, and whether we can do anything about that.–Full transcript available here: www.complexsystemspodcast.com/check-cashing/–Presenting Sponsor: Mercury Complex Systems is presented by Mercury—radically better banking for founders.

a16z general partner Erik Torenberg speaks with Justin Mares, founder and CEO of TrueMed. They discuss why American health outcomes are so poor compared to the rest of the developed world, how crop subsidies created a food system that "systematically outputs unhealthy people," and what it would take to treat the chronic disease crisis as a national security issue. Mares explains how TrueMed allows people to spend tax-free HSA and FSA dollars on lifestyle interventions like gym memberships, sleep aids, and healthier food—and why he believes this could redirect hundreds of billions of dollars toward prevention. They also explore the case for psychedelics as mental health therapy and why peptides could disrupt the pharmaceutical industry. Resources:Follow Justin Mares on X: https://x.com/jwmaresFollow TrueMed on X: https://x.com/truemed Stay Updated:If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Money doesn't become geopolitical overnight.It becomes geopolitical when the rails start to change.In this episode of MoneyNeverSleeps, Pete Townsend is joined by Sean Lee for a focused conversation on what China is really building with the digital yuan and why this moment is about infrastructure, not currency replacement.Drawing on recent meetings with the People's Bank of China, Sean explains how the digital yuan is moving beyond a domestic CBDC experiment toward offshore settlement, trade finance, and geopolitical optionality. Rather than replacing the dollar, China appears to be building parallel rails designed to keep trade moving in a more fragmented world.This is not a CBDC hype episode. It's a grounded discussion about trade, trust, gold, and how digital infrastructure reshapes global money flows.We cover:• Why the digital yuan is shifting from onshore use to offshore settlement• How trade, geopolitics, and optionality are driving new money rails• Why gold still matters in a digital financial system• Where stablecoins, CBDCs, and tokenised deposits coexist• What founders should be building for as interoperability becomes multi-dimensionalIf you're a founder, operator, or investor trying to understand where global finance is actually heading beyond headlines and hype, this episode is worth your time.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – The next money rails01:00 – From domestic CBDC to offshore settlement02:40 – Trade, geopolitics, and optionality04:00 – Incentives vs mandates05:00 – Gold, trade flows, and Asia's role07:30 – Digital RMB and new denominations09:00 – Gold-backed stablecoins and layered money10:30 – Stablecoins, CBDCs, and tokenised deposits11:45 – What founders should focus on next13:30 – Closing thoughts

Roger Urwin, Global Head of Investment Content at Willis Towers Watson, reflects on how leading asset owners are rethinking strategic asset allocation amid faster regime change, rising systemic risk, and growing complexity. In a conversation hosted by Mona Naqvi, Managing Director of Research, Advocacy, and Standards at CFA Institute, he draws on decades of experience advising global funds to explain why a total portfolio mindset is gaining traction—and how it reframes goals, governance, and investment decision-making. The discussion explores what it means to invest through a truly holistic lens, why mindset and organizational design matter as much as models, and how the investment profession may need to evolve for a more uncertain world.

The business problem: recovering failed subscription payments that required coordinating APIs across Stripe, Ghost, and email providers, and the surprising experience of watching Claude read documentation, resolve dependency conflicts, and make sensible security choices.

#761 What if growing your home service business slower is actually the fastest path to profit and freedom? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with returning guest Mike Andes, founder of Augusta Lawn Care, to break down how home service businesses can grow without getting crushed by seasonality, overhead, or the “bigger is better” trap. Mike shares his origin story (including starting college at 13!), then dives into his practical “off-season cures” (from winter services to inverse-demand add-ons like holiday lights), how pay-for-performance compensation can drive speed and quality with the right guardrails, and why open-book management + profit sharing can align the whole team like owners. They also unpack Mike's “Copy + Paste” growth philosophy — focusing on profitability and smart capacity limits before scaling locations — plus why many operators would be better off raising prices and reducing ad dependency than endlessly chasing more revenue! What we discuss with Mike: + Solving the off-season + Five “cures” for seasonality + Winter services & subscriptions + Inverse demand add-on services + Pay-for-performance pay model + Quality control & “yellow slips” + Open-book management basics + Profit sharing incentives + Copy-and-paste growth strategy + Raising prices vs. chasing growth Thank you, Mike!

Key Takeaways:   When Money Breaks, Systems Suffer: When a money system no longer reflects real value and work, it creates serious problems. This can lead to economic breakdown and social harm, as seen in places like Venezuela. Staying Grounded Matters: A calm and regulated nervous system helps people think clearly, adapt to fast change, and use new technology in healthy and effective ways. Bad Incentives Create Chaos: Broken money systems reward the wrong behaviors. These incentives increase instability and make real economic growth harder to achieve. Bitcoin as a New Foundation: Bitcoin offers a different kind of money that doesn't rely on central control. It follows clear rules and can serve as a more honest base for economic systems. Personal Choice Still Matters: Individuals can choose where to store value and how to participate in financial systems. Choosing systems based on real work, truth, and productivity helps reduce distortion and manipulation.   Chapters: Timestamp Summary 0:00 Introduction to Broken Money and Nervous System 2:59 Importance of Technology and Nervous System Harmony 4:30 Venezuela's Economic Collapse as a Warning 6:44 Strategic Global Interests in Venezuela 10:05 Misaligned Systems and Hero Worship 13:24 Impact of Broken Money on Productivity and Trust 15:08 Incentives and Informal Markets in Venezuela 18:10 Regulation and Monopolies 22:21 Structural Change vs. Engineering 27:19 Investing with Natural Law and Energy Focus 30:39 Changing the Conventional Financial Beliefs 35:08 Shifting Focus to Bitcoin and Innovation 41:06 Aligning with Natural Laws and Bitcoin 43:29 New Financial Order and Bitcoin Integration   Powered by Stone Hill Wealth Management   Social Media Handles    Follow Phillip Washington, Jr. on Instagram (@askphillip)   Subscribe to Wealth Building Made Simple newsletter https://www.wealthbuildingmadesimple.us/   Ready to turn your investing dreams into reality?

After building products at Microsoft (Xbox, Surface), a gaming startup acquired by Disney, Twilio, and Box, Vanessa Larco joined NEA where she led seed investments in Greenlight (debit card for kids), Majuri (C2C jewelry), and Limitless (acquired by Meta). She served on Robinhood's board for five and a half years through IPO and the GameStop crisis. In this conversation, Vanessa breaks down the specific traits that separate top 1% founders from the rest, why venture capital is experiencing structural chaos from simultaneous mega-fund expansion and generational transition, and why technical founders who deeply understand consumer behavior change represent the next wave of breakout companies. Topics Discussed: How customer-focused decision-making at Robinhood during GameStop contradicted public perception The specific paradox great founders must balance: maniacal focus versus recruiting ability Why venture is simultaneously dealing with fund size chaos and generational leadership transition The decision framework for staying in venture versus returning to operating Why consumer is radically underinvested despite users' demonstrated willingness to pay for "magical" experiences How AI tools create internet-scale behavior change by synthesizing information rather than just accessing it The authentic voice problem in VC personal branding and platform-specific challenges GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Great founders possess maniacal focus on the right problems, not all problems: Vanessa describes exceptional founders as having an "insatiability" where "they pick the thing and they can focus on the thing and not get distracted by anything else and be maniacal about it." This isn't generic persistence—it's the ability to identify which specific problem deserves obsessive attention while ignoring everything else. Employees often push back ("we have these other fires"), but top founders maintain "one track" focus. The implementation challenge: most founders spread maniacal energy across too many initiatives. The best founders are "obsessive compulsive about how they build" on 1-2 things maximum, then deliberately de-prioritize everything else, even when it feels irresponsible. Incentive structure misalignment creates unwinnable scenarios: During GameStop, Robinhood faced retail traders whose incentives were fundamentally incompatible with traditional market participants. As Vanessa notes, "if your team and your company is bound by a certain set of incentives and you're up against someone with a very different set of incentives, that never really ends well." The Wall Street Bets mantra—"we can stay irrational longer than they can stay solvent"—explicitly weaponized this mismatch. For founders: map not just competitor strategies but their underlying incentive structures. Are they optimizing for growth, profitability, strategic acquirer appeal, or something else? When your incentives conflict with a market participant's (customer, partner, regulator, competitor), you cannot win through superior execution alone—you need structural repositioning. Technical founders who ship faster capture AI-era market position: Vanessa specifically seeks "technical founders with an eye for consumer behavior change" because "speed is really important in this era." This isn't about being first to market—it's about iteration velocity. When foundational models improve every few months and user expectations evolve weekly, the team that can "deliver on it faster than anyone else" compounds advantages. Non-technical founders add product/sales/fundraising cycles between insight and deployment. Technical founders collapse these cycles, testing behavioral hypotheses in days rather than quarters. In markets where "what's possible" changes monthly, this velocity differential determines who owns category definition. Behavior change wedges beat feature superiority: Vanessa looks for founders who understand "how this new technology is changing how people behave and changing what people expect of their tools" and can identify "what need can I fulfill better because I can build this thing that couldn't be built before." The critical insight: users don't adopt based on capability—they adopt when technology enables a behavior they already want but couldn't execute. She emphasizes products that are "radically faster, radically cheaper, radically easier" (not 10% better) and founders who understand "how they'll wedge into behaviors." Implementation framework: don't ask "what can this technology do?" Ask "what behavior is currently blocked by cost/speed/complexity that this technology removes the blocker for?" Category creation happens post-problem-solving, not pre-launch: Discussing Robinhood's positioning, Vanessa reveals how the team "stayed focused" on enabling "people to continue participating in the markets" rather than defending an abstract category. The company focused on structural problems (settlement times, capital requirements) rather than category messaging. For founders: solve the acute problem your customer articulates, even if it seems tactically narrow. Category definition emerges after you've solved related problems for enough customers that the pattern becomes obvious. Premature category creation forces you to defend an abstract positioning rather than deepen specific problem-solving. Personal brand building only works at the intersection of authenticity and utility: Vanessa admits "I can't find my authentic voice on Twitter to save my life" and her successful posts are "when I'm on an airplane and it's delayed by like over an hour and I'm angry." Meanwhile, "video and audio, way more my comfort zone" but requires "discipline that I don't think I yet possess." The lesson for founders: audience building helps ("people then know what you are, what you stand for... it helps establish trust faster, it helps people find you") but forced authenticity backfires.

If you've ever wondered why your deductible feels like a brick wall while insurers tout “savings,” this conversation goes straight to the source. Nathan Kaufman sits down with Mark Cuban to pull apart how PBMs and insurers shape drug prices, hide rebates, and use denials as financial float—while patients and providers pay the price. It's a rare, unfiltered tour through the pharmacy supply chain, medical loss ratio math, and the perverse incentives that keep care costly and complicated.We dig into the real-world fallout for physicians and hospitals: Medicare's stagnant updates, shadow-priced commercial contracts, and the administrative churn that drives independent practices into the arms of health systems or private equity. Mark challenges the industry to think like a startup—publish prices, strip out unnecessary vendors, and pay clinicians more with transparent, fixed margins. He shares why GPOs often inflate costs, how a virtual wholesaler model can save millions on injectables and specialty meds, and what happens when leadership manages silos instead of the whole enterprise.Then we get tactical. Imagine a standardized claim process across payers and a new financing model that replaces premium fights with unlimited HSAs plus government-backed medical loans pegged to Medicare rates. Pair that with direct contracts that pay providers quickly, no prior auth, no denials, and zero out-of-pocket for employees using posted agreements. Add agentic AI to audit thousands of contracts, verify invoices, and stop leakage dimes at a time—and a clearer path emerges: fewer middlemen, faster pay, better outcomes. Along the way, we confront uncomfortable truths about facility fees, subprime patient financing, and why breaking up insurance conglomerates or forcing divestiture of non-insurance assets could restore real competition.If you care about practical reform—transparent pricing, direct contracting, real outcomes data, and technology that kills waste—this is your playbook. Listen, share with a colleague who manages benefits or a hospital P&L, and tell us: where should transparency and direct contracts start in your market?

When Megan Green became St. Louis Board of Aldermen President in 2022, she made reforming development tax incentives a top priority. Critics of using tax increment financing and abatements say the incentives take away tax revenue that could otherwise have gone toward benefiting public schools and other services. In this episode, we hear STLPR economic development reporter Kavahn Mansouri's conversation with Green. Then, Mansouri discusses the bigger picture around development in St. Louis.

Medical trust collapses when profits come before patients. Paying doctors bonuses for hitting vaccine targets creates a system that rewards compliance over individualized care — and parents deserve to know when money is influencing medical advice.

A Conversation About Infrastructure, Innovation, and Community Input The Shenandoah Valley's roadways are undergoing a massive transformation. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Ken Slack, Communications Specialist for VDOT's Staunton District, to discuss the ambitious construction projects reshaping how residents travel through the region. What emerged was a fascinating look at the complex planning, engineering challenges, and community collaboration required to modernize aging infrastructure. Tackling the 81 Corridor's Toughest Stretch The conversation began with one of the most challenging sections of Interstate 81: the Strasburg corridor between exits 296 and 300. This area stands out as one of the few places along the entire interstate—from the West Virginia line to Tennessee—that features a left-hand exit for southbound traffic. Ken explains that this unusual configuration, combined with the junction of two major interstates, creates significant safety and congestion issues. Currently, the project sits at approximately 25-30% completion, with about a year of construction already completed and two and a half years remaining. The scope involves widening four miles of interstate from two lanes to three in each direction, while simultaneously addressing critical infrastructure needs. Workers are replacing the southbound bridge over Cedar Creek at the Warren-Shenandoah County line and widening the southbound bridge over the CSX railway. However, bridge work presents unique challenges. As Ken points out, VDOT could build bridges much faster if they could simply close them to traffic. Instead, contractors must maintain two lanes in each direction during peak hours, relegating most construction work to nighttime and overnight hours. This careful choreography ensures traffic keeps flowing while progress continues beneath the surface. The Science Behind the Projects VDOT doesn't randomly select improvement projects based on complaint volume or accident counts. Instead, the agency relies on comprehensive data analysis and community engagement. The 2018 Interstate 81 Corridor Improvement Program study exemplifies this approach. Throughout that year, VDOT collected extensive traffic data, examining crash rates, crash severity, backup frequency, and person-hours of delay—what Ken jokingly calls "VDOT nerdism." Moreover, the agency conducted multiple public input sessions during spring, summer, and fall. These meetings served a dual purpose: presenting data-driven hotspot maps while gathering firsthand experiences from daily commuters and long-haul truckers. This collaborative approach identified 65 initial projects ranging from small-scale improvements like extending acceleration ramps to major widening initiatives now underway in Strasburg, Harrisonburg, and Winchester. Importantly, VDOT's planning doesn't stop with current projects. A 2025 study has already identified the next round of priorities, ensuring continuous improvement rather than simply completing the current list and moving on. Front Royal's South Street Gets Attention Meanwhile, in Front Royal, VDOT is addressing traffic flow issues along South Street near the Royal Plaza Shopping Center. The problem area centers on the intersection where Commerce Avenue meets South Street, particularly affecting drivers who turn right from Route 340 onto South Street and immediately need to turn left into the shopping center. The limited space creates backups that extend toward the main intersection, prompting VDOT to explore solutions. Should the entrance move to the next intersection? Can the current configuration be modified to improve safety and reduce congestion? These questions drove VDOT to hold a public hearing on January 14th at the Front Royal library. Ken emphasizes that VDOT brings plans that look good on paper but remain open to revision based on community feedback. Several dozen residents attended the meeting, expressing support for some elements while raising concerns about others. This input proves invaluable, as local residents often identify issues that traffic studies conducted on specific days might miss—like Janet's example of the radio station's Camping for Hunger event, which creates unique traffic patterns. Furthermore, VDOT must coordinate with property owners whose businesses depend on customer access. Changes to South Street directly impact how patrons reach the Royal Plaza Shopping Center, making collaboration with property owners essential to the project's success. A Bridge Too Big to Ignore Perhaps the most ambitious project on the horizon involves replacing the bridge over Interstate 81 near Winchester, where Millwood Avenue curves toward its intersection with Route 522. This aging structure, which has stood for at least 50 years, currently spans seven lanes. The replacement will accommodate nine lanes, creating what Ken describes as an "enormous" structure. The project actually combines two separate initiatives: improvements within Winchester city limits and the bridge replacement itself. VDOT assumed responsibility for both projects to ensure coordination and prevent conflicting work zones. By building the new bridge slightly to the north, contractors can maintain traffic flow during construction rather than narrowing the roadway to one lane in each direction—a scenario Ken jokes would have residents "running away from the pitchforks." This bridge exemplifies a broader challenge facing Interstate 81. Since most of the corridor was constructed between the late 1950s and 1960s, numerous bridges now range from 50 to 70 years old. While VDOT's vigorous maintenance program extends their lifespan, every bridge eventually requires replacement or significant rehabilitation. The agency evaluates each structure individually, determining whether full replacement or widening with superstructure rehabilitation makes more sense. Weather, Incentives, and Reality Construction timelines must account for weather impacts, particularly during multi-year projects spanning several winters. Ken acknowledges that major snowstorms or tropical systems can shut down work for a week or more. Nevertheless, VDOT has refined its contract documents over decades to accurately predict workable days throughout the year. Additionally, the agency builds incentives into contracts, particularly for projects with significant traffic impacts. The recently completed Rockland Road bridge project demonstrates this approach's success. The contractor finished ahead of schedule, earning maximum incentive payments. Ken notes that VDOT happily writes these checks because early completion benefits the entire community. Conversely, contracts also include penalties for late completion, creating a balanced system that motivates timely project delivery while accounting for legitimate weather delays. Keeping the Public Informed Throughout the conversation, Janet praised VDOT's website, which maintains detailed project pages for dozens of active initiatives. These pages track projects from early design stages through construction completion, providing timelines, cost projections, public hearing information, and opportunities for feedback. Ken explains that his team dedicates considerable effort to keeping these pages current. Residents can easily find relevant projects by searching "VDOT projects" and selecting the Staunton District, which covers Warren, Frederick, and surrounding counties. The site even includes construction photos showing progress over time. Janet shared her own experience using the website to research the Winchester bridge project after noticing construction activity. Within minutes, she found comprehensive information about plans and timelines, allowing her to plan alternative routes during future construction phases. Your Voice Matters Beyond the website, VDOT operates a 24/7 customer service center staffed by real people who typically answer within seconds. Ken dispels common misconceptions about endless hold times or automated systems. When residents report potholes, sight distance issues, or other concerns, the center generates work orders requiring action from appropriate teams. While not every reported issue results in immediate fixes—some investigations reveal no problem or explain why certain actions aren't feasible—every request receives attention and follow-up. VDOT even contacts property owners when vegetation or structures impede sight distance or extend into the right-of-way, working collaboratively to find solutions that ensure everyone's safety. Looking Ahead As the conversation concluded, both Janet and Ken acknowledged the uncertainty of winter weather—they were recording on a Tuesday afternoon with potential snow in the forecast for the following days. Yet this uncertainty mirrors the broader challenge of infrastructure improvement: balancing immediate needs with long-term planning, maintaining traffic flow during construction, and incorporating community input into data-driven decisions. The projects discussed represent just a fraction of VDOT's ongoing work across the Shenandoah Valley. From the complex Interstate 81 widening near Strasburg to the South Street improvements in Front Royal and the massive bridge replacement near Winchester, these initiatives share common threads: careful planning, public engagement, and commitment to improving safety and reducing congestion. For Valley residents, these projects mean temporary inconvenience in exchange for long-term benefits. The key lies in staying informed through VDOT's project pages, participating in public hearings, and understanding that today's construction zones become tomorrow's safer, more efficient roadways. As Ken reminds listeners, VDOT isn't just completing a checklist—they're continuously identifying and addressing the next generation of infrastructure needs, ensuring the Valley's roads serve the community for decades to come.
