On this episode of Live From The Compound, we break down the shift in global market leadership as international stocks outperform the U.S. While many investors credit valuations and a weaker dollar, Matthew Tuttle argues something bigger is happening: Europe is rebuilding not just its military, but its digital infrastructure to reduce dependence on U.S. tech platforms. Matt, CEO and CIO of Tuttle Capital Management, joins Downtown Josh Brown to discuss digital sovereignty, shifting procurement, and whether this marks a cyclical rotation or the start of a structural reallocation away from U.S mega-cap dominance. We cover the impact on defense, cloud, U.S. tech giants, China exposure, currency effects, and how investors should size the opportunity. This episode is sponsored by Public.

On this episode of What Did We Learn, Josh Brown sits down with Nick Colas and Jessica Rabe of DataTrek Research to discuss why Big Tech has just 12 months to prove AI is worth the cost. Nick breaks down how Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms have dramatically shifted their business models pouring 100% (or more) of cash flow into AI capex as margins are set to decline in 2026. These three companies make up 11% of the S&P 500, and they are not the same high-margin machines they were just a few years ago. Jessica then shows where investors are reallocating capital, comparing the S&P to the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index. With non-U.S. stocks gaining traction, investors have a clear choice: stick with Big Tech's AI bet or look elsewhere. This episode is sponsored by Teucrium.

In this episode of Rising Voices of Fundraising: The AFP Emerging Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Dwayne Ashley, founder and CEO of Bridge Philanthropic Consulting, to explore the intersection of identity, equity, and leadership in our sector. Dwayne shares his path into fundraising, sheds light on the often overlooked history of Black leaders in philanthropy, and offers practical, heartfelt advice for emerging professionals navigating workplace authenticity, funding barriers, and persistent misconceptions about organizations led by people of color. Guest: Dwayne Ashley: With over 35 years in the philanthropic industry, Dwayne Ashley has utilized his knowledge of fundraising and passion for social justice to create opportunities for people of color through his founding of Bridge Philanthropic Consulting (BPC), one of the country's largest full-service fundraising firms. Throughout his career, Dwyane has sought to align with organizations that share his values regarding the betterment of underserved communities. Through that alignment, he has raised billions to support those communities. During his early years, the spirit of charity was instilled into Dwayne through witnessing his great-grandmother's establishment of one of the first schools to educate blacks in Heflin, Louisiana, which has now been memorialized as one of the oldest Black churches in the state. The weaving of his great-grandmother's legacy into Louisiana's rich history pushed Dwayne to forge his own path and attend Wiley College and the University of Pennsylvania's Fels School of Government, where he learned how he, too, could use his knowledge to help the underserved. Dwayne serves on the Board of the African American Development Officers and The Giving Institute, as well as serving as a member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals for more than 35 years, where he sat on board positions with Philadelphia and New York City chapters.

Jarrod is a proud Certified Fundraising Executive (CFRE) and member of the Men of Color in Development (MOCID).

His talent for influencing others was also recognized by the 2019 Urban League of Greater Southwestern Ohio's leadership program, where as a graduate he received the Best-in-Class Award for Best Connector, in the Urban Leaders Institute that focuses on African American leadership in the community. Jarrod has a bachelor's degree in Mass Communications from Wright State University. He has also recently earned his master's degree in Business Leadership and Innovation from Northern Kentucky University. Jarrod is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated. Dr. Allison Quintanilla Plattsmier, CFRE, ACNP, GPC, CAP, Founder & CEO, AQP Consulting & Executive Director, ENP: Dr. Allison Quintanilla Plattsmier has fourteen years of experience in the nonprofit sector and has collectively raised approximately $5 million for over 75 organizations.

“You Can't Unknow the Past” Twelve Years of Archaeological Research Affirming Centuries of Indigenous Memory and Belief Neglected by Non-Indigenous Historians This production opens with the voice of David Brule, Coordinator of the American Battlefield Protection Program Advisory Board leading an April 2, 2025 monthly board meeting, open to the public, in the Town Hall of Montague, Massachusetts in Turners Falls. He gives a broad overview of a research project now completed, funded with grants totaling nearly $200,000 from the National Park Service since 2014, to explore the archaeological past of a bloody massacre by English colonists, and the battle that ensued following seven miles of the frantic English retreat down the Green River. At dawn, May 19th, l676 hundreds of elderly and young multi-tribal refugees awoke in an unprotected encampment at Great Falls, on the North side of the middle Connecticut River, to musket fire and the screams of their people's murder. Brule's recounting is an important summary of the place of this brutal event in the larger tapestry of King Philips War. It was the bloodiest war of the Colonial period, perhaps of our entire national history, and established the tone of governmental policy toward displaced Indigenous populations ever since. Raised just a mile away, Brule grew to young adulthood without ever hearing the gruesome story: it was never referenced in school curricula or local lore. In fact, being Indigenous was barely acknowledged anywhere. Colonial histories have pretty thoroughly excluded the Indigenous perspective. The victors usually write the history. In 1900 on the Town of Gill's shore of the flooded Connecticut River above the Great Falls Dam in the presence of a gathering of thousands, a newly set stone monument acknowledged the leadership of William Turner and his 145 armed recruits in a predawn attack, killing more than 300 unarmed elderly and child-aged refugees encamped near the river. The short text, carved in stone, does not go on to explain that the atrocity was carried out within earshot of the nearest Indigenous coalition forces encamped on the other side of the river, who immediately gave chase. In the seven miles of deadly pursuit, archaeologists centuries later, exhuming troves of musket balls from the buried past, have documented the maneuvers of Indigenous forces which killed more than 50 of the retreating English, including Captain Turner himself. It was a heavy price to pay for a campaign of genocide against the Natives. Nonetheless the 1900 monument remains, a 125 year old assertion of a significant English colonial victory. It is a powerfully engrained vision to challenge with alternative, long buried truths, now finding their way into daylight through scientific interpretation. David Brule is the details person in this case, having for 12 years chaired the American Battlefield Protection Program Advisory Board. He is also a compelling storyteller who has brought to life in recurring public presentations a new understanding of the Valley's past. As president of the Nolumbeka Project, Incorporated, at the annual Pocumtuck Homeland Festival at Unity Park in August along the River's edge over the last ten years he regales growing audiences. Brule has stirred widespread research of the vast array of complex sources, including early Colonial observations of Indigenous life through unpublished letters, diaries and other written records. For more than two decades, he has been lifting a shroud of erasure far and wide, offering an alternative, balanced, collaborative narrative of an unforgettable, shared past, in search of peace and reconciliation. The final archaeological report of more than 400 pages by the Heritage Consultants, LLC., further enriches and complicates our understanding of the Northeast region and the people who lived and died trying to defend it from the ruthless Colonial experiment beginning 400 years ago.
