Oil Prices - Bogus? - The price of oil in the middle east is at $140 for its land-locked price, but ocean traveling oil is at $100. - Sort, of, opposite of what you'd expect? - But, then there's been active conversation and warning about manipulating oil futures to manage the situation. - Oil in Backwardation across the spectrum. (Current price of oil contract is $95 and December contract is $75) Oil Prices may be BOGUS - But What About Gas? Gas Prices More Manipulation - The Trump administration has discussed trading in the oil futures market as a strategy to help curb surging crude prices amid the war in Iran, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said. - US would just sell future contracts and then deliver at those prices at the end of the contract date. (SPR/Venezuela?) - Not sure how markets will take an intervention like that. - Remember when short selling was banned on Financials back in the 2008 ----Stock prices continued to fall during the ban and tended to stabilize only after it was lifted, suggesting the ban did not stop the decline. ------ Seems that when government intervenes in free markets they can set off more panic as the optics make it look even worse. ---- AND- Russian Oil sanctions partially removed Inflation and ECO - PCE Prices stay elevated - GDP rose at a seasonally and inflation-adjusted annual rate of just 0.7% in the fourth quarter, according to a Commerce Department revision Friday. - The first revision of the GDP reading was a sharp step down from the previous estimate of 1.4% and well below the Dow Jones consensus forecast for 1.5%. - The core PCE inflation rose 0.4% in January and 3.1% on a 12-month basis.

Tariffs, Straits of Hormuz, Asset Seizure (Russian Yachts), Venezuelan Oil???? --- This is why Quantum is in play too...(offense and defense) Did you know? - 30% of Helium production comes from Qatar - Qatar helium production stopped back on March 2nd, and is ~30% of all helium globally - South Korea depends almost entirely on helium from the strait of Hormuz, with 65% from Qatar specifically -  Semiconductor manufacturing - - Wafer/equipment cooling — High thermal conductivity removes heat fast during lithography, etching, deposition, and other steps; critical for precise temp control and smaller chip nodes (no good substitutes). - - Inert purging & atmospheres — Chemically inert; flushes systems, prevents unwanted reactions in annealing, deposition, or vacuum chambers. -- - Plasma processes — Acts as carrier, diluent, or purge gas in plasma etching for precise circuit patterning. - - Leak detection — Tiny atoms detect micro-leaks in tools, pipelines, and vacuum systems to ensure reliability. - - Backside wafer cooling — Delivers stable cooling to silicon wafers in advanced fabs. INDIA! Running out of Gas - Does it matter? - India maintains only a 25 day reserve of oil - Good news for them that they use coal for electricity generation, and only use oil for transportation - BUT BUT BUT, What about getting goods from one place to another in India? -- FWIW - coal prices up 19% YTD in India Back to this... - AI not causing job losses - WHAT ABOUT META? - Meta's stock climbed after Reuters reported the social media giant is planning to lay off over 20% of its 79,000 employees to balance AI-related spending.

Casting director Paul Ruddy has spent nearly three decades shaping careers in film, television, and now the emerging world of vertical storytelling.

Send a textWhen you see a fertility doctor, you're usually offered two paths: IUI or IVF. But what if there's a middle ground?In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols breaks down IntraVaginal Culture (IVC) — a treatment where your body becomes the incubator. At our clinic, we call the device the “Baby Pod,” and it offers a meaningful step up from IUI without the full cost and complexity of IVF.Dr. Amols explains how IVC works, why it is not the same as IVF, and why marketing it as an IVF replacement is misleading. He walks through real-world success rates, who makes a good candidate, who should avoid it, the limitations of embryo monitoring, and why fewer embryos matter. He also clarifies how IVC differs from mini-IVF and where each fits in modern fertility care.If you've failed IUIs, are concerned about IVF cost, or want a clear, honest breakdown of your options — this episode separates hype from hope and myth from medicine.Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

Dave talks about his experience sneaking into Alibaba's headquarters in Hangzhou, China, delving into its history, operations, and the broader Chinese e-commerce landscape. He also shares insights on Alibaba's innovation, working conditions, and the rise of Chinese e-commerce brands, contrasting them with Western markets. Thinking about taking some risk off the table? Or are you looking at taking an extended break from e-commerce in general? Know what your e-commerce business is worth with Quiet Light Brokerage.    I screwed up.  I was scheduled to go to one of Amazon's biggest conferences in China but there was one big problem. I got the dates wrong. Their security guards were doing their job and I couldn't sneak my way into the conference despite having a ticket to the conference the day after.  So what do I do? I snuck into Alibaba instead, like any normal person.  In this episode, I talk about the things I saw while sneaking into the Alibaba HQ in Hangzhou, China. I learned how Alibaba's working conditions look like, how Alibaba grows their local brands, and how any mention of Jack Ma got erased from Alibaba.   Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction and Conference Mishap 01:27 - Visit to Alibaba's Headquarters 02:13 - Background on Alibaba and Chinese E-commerce 03:40 - Alibaba's Evolution and Market Dominance 05:32 - Taobao vs Amazon: The Largest E-commerce Platform 07:30 - Jack Ma's Influence and Controversy 09:25 - Inside Alibaba's Modern Headquarters 10:52 - Language and Leadership at Alibaba 12:47 - Jack Ma's Public Silence and Censorship 15:06 - Working Conditions in China 17:32 - Alibaba's E-commerce Incubator and Innovation 19:50 - Chinese E-commerce Brands and Innovation 21:40 - Cultural Insights and Social Media in China 23:07 - Elon Musk's Popularity in China Resources Mentioned Quiet Light Brokerage Alibaba Official Website Taobao Jack Ma Elon Musk As always, if you have any questions or anything that you need help with, leave a comment down below if you're interested.

About This Episode: What happens when state law turns a hospital into a "biological incubator"? This episode explores the harrowing story of Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old nurse who was declared brain-dead while nine weeks pregnant. Despite her family's wishes, Georgia's "Life Act" led the hospital to keep her on mechanical life support for 116 days to ensure the delivery of her son, Baby Chance. The legal nightmare didn't end there; because Adriana and the father, Adrian Harden, were not married, he was forced to sue the state just to be recognized as a legal parent. We dive into the intersection of medical ethics, Georgia's heartbeat laws, and the complex battle for father's rights in the wake of tragedy.

​​Join our champion program: mark@themomentumcompany.comAttend a Thriving Leader event: https://thriving-leader-2026.lovable.app/Instagram: @the.momentum.companyLinkedIn: /momentum-companyIn this powerful episode of the Intentional Agribusiness Leader Podcast, Mark Jewell sits down with Tyler Dickerhoof — dairy farmer, leadership coach, and founder of the Impact Driven Leader movement.Tyler brings raw honesty and hard-won insight to the conversation, unpacking how insecurities quietly shape the way we lead, connect, and communicate — often without us even realizing it. Drawing on decades of experience from dairy barns to boardrooms, Tyler reveals how to recognize your emotional blind spots, dismantle walls that limit growth, and lead from a place of wholeness and trust.This conversation goes beyond leadership theory — it's an unfiltered look at what happens when intensity becomes intimidation, when connection gives way to isolation, and how to reframe it all with empathy, clarity, and courage.Key Takeaways:1. Intentionality Starts with Purposeful ImpactBeing intentional isn't about perfection — it's about aligning your actions with the impact you want to create. Tyler defines it simply: “Be purposeful in action.” Every decision, word, and relationship either builds trust or breaks it.2. The Four Walls of InsecurityTyler introduces a groundbreaking framework that helps leaders identify how fear and insecurity show up in behavior. The four walls are:Intensity: When drive turns into domination.Inactivity: When fear paralyzes decision-making.Insensitivity: When protection becomes detachment.Isolation: When fear of judgment leads to hiding.Recognizing which “wall” you lean on most is the first step toward breaking through it.3. Every Problem Is a Relationship ProblemAs Mark puts it: “Every business issue traces back to a relationship issue.” Tyler expands on this, explaining that our ability to lead others directly mirrors our relationship with ourselves. Leaders who don't value or forgive themselves struggle to extend grace and connection to others.4. Empathy Without Boundaries Isn't Leadership — It's ExhaustionTyler warns that empathy, without limits, leads to burnout. True empathy requires clarity and boundaries — modeling what healthy leadership looks like instead of just preaching it.5. Intentional Leadership in the Age of OverloadFrom late-night texts to “always-on” expectations, Tyler and Mark challenge today's leaders to rethink boundaries. Intentionality means having systems and communication rhythms that protect both productivity and peace. If your team is burning out, it's not a workload issue — it's a leadership clarity issue.6. Choose to Be an Incubator, Not an IncineratorOne of Tyler's most memorable phrases: “I'd rather be an incubator than an incinerator.” Great leaders don't burn people out; they develop them. Building people means caring enough to challenge them, coach them, and let them grow — even if that means letting them go.Notable Quotes:“Be purposeful in action. Our actions create our results, and our results reinforce our beliefs.” – Tyler...

If you've ever thought "scaling means selling out" or "growing a team means burning out," Dr. Catherine Hart is about to prove you wrong. She's built a 35-person psychology practice across five sites with a salaried employment model that actually retains clinicians—and she did it by breaking every rule.In this episode, I'm talking with Dr. Catherine Hart, clinical psychologist, director of Succoris Psychology Group, and 2024 APS Supervisor of the Year. Catherine didn't set out to become an innovator—she started as a psychologist who felt like an outsider, too questioning, too bold. When she experienced how exploitative the contractor model can be, she made a decision: I'm building something different.You'll hear Catherine's journey from one consulting room in 2019 to building an entire ecosystem—five sites, a training academy, business partnerships, and online courses. We dive into the salaried employment model revolutionizing retention, how to scale without losing your values, building systems that support humans, and what real leadership requires when you stop playing small.HERE ARE THE KEY INSIGHTS:1️⃣ The Salaried Model Revolution – Catherine breaks down exactly what her salaried employment model looks like and why it changes everything for clinician wellbeing and retention. You'll hear the real numbers, the pushback she faced, and the ripple effect on practice culture.2️⃣ Scaling With Integrity – The real story of going from one room to five sites—the failures, pivots, and moments where she almost lost her way. How she uses innovation (AI note-taking, structured systems) to support clinicians, and her philosophy on scaling with purpose versus scaling because you can.3️⃣ Permission to Want More – Catherine talks about being the kid who always asked "why," feeling like an outsider, and giving herself permission to want more than one-to-one work. She's now building clinical care, training academy, business partnerships, and courses—stepping into leadership and building legacy work.4️⃣ The Business Education Therapists Never Got – Catherine is transparent about investing in herself, seeking business education (including The Incubator), and surrounding herself with community. Grad school taught clinical skills—not how to build sustainable, ethical businesses.YOU'LL ALSO HEAR:Her catalyst: exploitative contractor models in AustraliaBuilding team systems: onboarding, supervision, psychological safetyThe Succoris Academy and Clinical Psych Registrar pathway (launching Jan 2026)Business partnerships helping therapists build, grow, or exit ethicallyLaunching DBT Launchpad and online course creationThe Dolly Parton philosophy: business as a vessel for social impactHonest talk about leadership struggles and advice to her 2019 selfRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Catherine Hart:Succoris Psychology: https://succoris.com.au/Instagram: @succoris_psychologyDBT Launchpad: https://succoris-psychology-site-ecc8.thinkific.com/courses/DBT-LaunchpadTherapists Rising:The Incubator: therapistsrising.com/incubatorThe Collective Waitlist: therapistsrising.com/collectiveInstagram: @dr.hayleykellySUBSCRIBE & REVIEW:If this episode showed you what's possible when you give yourself permission to build differently—or inspired you to rethink what scaling could look like in your practice—please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

For 12 months, I've been sober, and until a recent doctor's appointment, I'd completely forgotten.No countdown. No recovery story. No before-and-after moment. Just life, without alcohol.When my doctor asked, “None? Not even socially?” and looked at me like I'd just confessed a crime, something clicked. His disbelief wasn't about alcohol — it was about the quiet pressure we all feel to play along. To do the thing that makes everyone else comfortable, even when it doesn't feel good to us.That moment made me realise: sobriety isn't really about alcohol. It's about truth. It's about self-trust. It's about noticing all the ways we abandon ourselves - in business, relationships, and life - just to belong.If you've ever found yourself saying yes when you meant no, discounting your prices to avoid seeming greedy, or over-giving because you don't want to disappoint, this episode will hit home.This is a conversation about emotional and professional sobriety - and what happens when you stop performing belonging and start building it from integrity instead.Here's what I cover:Why my doctor's disbelief revealed how deeply social conditioning shapes our choicesThe invisible contracts of belonging: how family, therapy culture, and business all reward self-abandonmentThe moment I realised I was trading authenticity for acceptance — and how that changed everythingMy Uni Games story: performing belonging by being the “responsible one” in a binge-drinking cultureWhy people-pleasing isn't kindness — it's your nervous system trying to keep you safeWhat emotional sobriety looks like in business (through a real example from an Incubator student)The paradox of safety vs. control: why we keep performing even when it hurtsHow to stay with yourself when your truth disappoints othersWhat sobriety has taught me about leadership, capacity, and self-trust

In this episode, you'll discover:

Of je nu als team of als solopreneur aan de slag bent: het is nooit een slecht idee om u in te bedden in een ecosysteem met andere ondernemers die in min of meer dezelfde fase zitten of min of meer in hetzelfde domein actief zijn. Daarvoor kunt u bijvoorbeeld terecht bij gespecialiseerde netwerken, incubatoren of acceleratoren zoals Start it @KBC. Niet elk bedrijf kan terecht bij Start it @KBC. Alleen innovatieve bedrijven maken kans op een plek in het programma. Wat heeft het programma in huis, waardoor ondernemers een versnelling hoger kunnen schakelen? Een netwerk van mentoren, vaak alumni van het programma, en experten, een opleidingsaanbod én een co-working. Het zijn wellicht vooral de peers die ondernemers vooruit stuwen. Toevallige ontmoetingen aan de koffiepot zorgen voor kruisbestuivingen. Collega-ondernemers die bepaalde veronderstellingen of denkbeelden in vraag durven stellen en uitdagen. Net zoals mensen die gewicht willen verliezen bij de diëtist op de weegschaal moeten, moeten de ondernemers aan elkaar rapporteren over hun vooruitgang en het al dan niet halen van de tussentijdse doelstellingen.

Welcome back to the Empower Her Business Accelerator podcast! I'm your host, Philippa Channer, and I'm thrilled you're joining me for another week of practical strategy and CEO-level insight. We're deep into our October series all about understanding your business cost structure—and today's topic is one that every entrepreneur thinks they've mastered but often hasn't truly leveraged: balancing fixed and variable costs. This conversation is about more than bookkeeping—it's about creating freedom and flexibility in how your business grows. And before we dive in, I want to take a moment to invite you to something very special: The Entrepreneur Incubator. This is my four-month, done-with-you experience designed to help ambitious entrepreneurs get clarity on their brand, build a sustainable strategy, and—most importantly—implement it with accountability and focus. Inside the Incubator, we'll work together using tools like my Content Clarity Canvas and the Content Clarity GPT to build a tailored 12-week content plan that actually supports your business goals. You'll also get one-to-one coaching and monthly implementation check-ins so your strategy never just sits in a notebook—it comes alive in your business. If you're craving that structure and want to stop guessing about your next marketing move, schedule your free 30-minute consultation using the link in the show notes below. Let's talk about how the Entrepreneur Incubator can help you level up your business from the inside out. (00:00) What Fixed and Variable Costs Really Mean Let's start with the basics. Fixed costs are the expenses that stay steady no matter how much your business grows—think rent, software subscriptions, business insurance, or a salaried assistant. These are predictable, but they can also create pressure when sales slow down. On the flip side, variable costs shift with your business activity—things like shipping, payment processing fees, hourly contractors, and materials. When business is booming, these rise; when things slow down, they ease up. The balance between these two categories affects your cash flow, profitability, and even your confidence as a CEO. Fixed costs bring stability, but too many of them can make your business rigid. Variable costs bring flexibility, but too many can make your margins unpredictable.

Story Transcript:Ca: La tardor havia omplert de fulles vermelles i grogues els carrers de Barcelona.En: Autumn had filled the streets of Barcelona with red and yellow leaves.Ca: A dins de l'incubadora de startups, la creativitat floria amb la mateixa intensitat que els colors de la temporada.En: Inside the startup incubator, creativity was flourishing with the same intensity as the colors of the season.Ca: Un espai ple de colors vius, coixins de pelfa anglesa i pissarres blanques plenes d'idees a mig fer.En: It was a space full of bright colors, plush English cushions, and whiteboards covered in half-formed ideas.Ca: Aquí és on Oriol i Laia treballaven cada dia, compartint riures i nervis.En: This was where Oriol and Laia worked every day, sharing laughs and nerves.Ca: Oriol, amb el seu cabell despentinat i idees bojes, es trobava davant una nova app que prometia revolucions: una aplicació que, segons ell, animaria la gent a riure a ple pulmó cada matí.En: Oriol, with his messy hair and crazy ideas, was facing a new app that promised revolutions: an application that, according to him, would encourage people to laugh out loud every morning.Ca: Laia, en canvi, era l'exemple perfecte d'organització i ordre.En: Laia, on the other hand, was the perfect example of organization and order.Ca: Treballava en una presentació important per un nou projecte, on el rigor i la precisió eren clau.En: She was working on an important presentation for a new project, where rigor and precision were key.Ca: Un matí, entre corredisses i tasses de cafè, Oriol i Laia van agafar per equivocació els portàtils l'un de l'altre.En: One morning, amid the hustle and cups of coffee, Oriol and Laia accidentally swapped each other's laptops.Ca: Ningú se n'adonà fins que era massa tard.En: No one realized it until it was too late.Ca: Oriol, ple d'entusiasme, va obrir el portàtil xiuxiuejant "a veure què hi ha avui".En: Oriol, full of enthusiasm, opened the laptop whispering, "let's see what's here today."Ca: Va quedar sorprès en veure pantalles plenes de fulls de càlcul i llistes de tasques.En: He was surprised to see screens full of spreadsheets and task lists.Ca: Mentrestant, Laia, esperant retrobar-se amb les seves organitzades presents, es trobà amb arxius d'àudio estrambòtics i l'emoji del riure escampat pertot arreu.En: Meanwhile, Laia, expecting to find her organized presentations, found bizarre audio files and laughter emojis scattered everywhere.Ca: Al principi, el pànic s'apoderà d'ells.En: At first, panic gripped them.Ca: Oriol somreia en veure correus seriosos sobre agendes i etiquetes.En: Oriol smiled upon seeing serious emails about schedules and tags.Ca: Laia no parava de preguntar-se com podria encaixar tot allò en la seva estructura perfecta.En: Laia kept wondering how she could fit all that into her perfect structure.Ca: Però en comptes de perdre l'humor, Oriol va decidir fluir amb el caos.En: But instead of losing his sense of humor, Oriol decided to go with the chaos.Ca: Va començar a enviar "emails" als col·laboradors amb bromes de Laia, enriquint-los amb un toc d'alegria.En: He began sending emails to collaborators with Laia's jokes, enriching them with a touch of joy.Ca: La Laia, al seu torn, va haver de pensar ràpidament i provar noves maneres per gestionar el desordre que governava al portàtil d'Oriol.En: Laia, in turn, had to think quickly and try new ways to manage the disorder ruling Oriol's laptop.Ca: El moment crític arribà durant una reunió conjunta.En: The critical moment came during a joint meeting.Ca: Un embolic de presentacions es va desplegar davant dels seus companys i directius.En: A mess of presentations unfolded before their colleagues and directors.Ca: Oriol havia de presentar les idees de Laia, mentre ella es veia embolicada en els conceptes bojos d'Oriol.En: Oriol had to present Laia's ideas, while she was entangled in Oriol's wild concepts.Ca: Però alguna cosa màgica va succeir.En: But something magical happened.Ca: A mesura que avançaven, van descobrir que les idees d'un podien complementar les de l'altre.En: As they progressed, they discovered that one person's ideas could complement the other's.Ca: L'humor d'Oriol va donar vida a les dades de Laia, i la seva metodologia aportà estructura a les idees boges d'Oriol.En: Oriol's humor brought data to life, and Laia's methodology provided structure to Oriol's crazy ideas.Ca: El públic va esclafir en aplaudiments.En: The audience burst into applause.Ca: El que semblava inicialment un error catastròfic es convertí en una fusió brillant de creativitat i organització.En: What initially seemed like a catastrophic mistake turned into a brilliant fusion of creativity and organization.Ca: En acabar la presentació, Oriol va aprendre el valor de l'estructura, mentre Laia somrigué apreciant una mica més el valor de la improvisació.En: After the presentation, Oriol learned the value of structure, while Laia smiled, appreciating a bit more the value of improvisation.Ca: A partir d'aquell dia, Oriol i Laia no només van tornar a intercanviar els seus portàtils, sinó que també van acceptar intercanviar perspectives.En: From that day on, Oriol and Laia not only returned each other's laptops but also agreed to exchange perspectives.Ca: Els seus projectes futurs s'ompliren, no només amb les fulles de tardor, sinó amb l'equilibri perfecte entre caos i ordre.En: Their future projects were filled, not only with autumn leaves but with the perfect balance between chaos and order.Ca: I així, amb una visió més completa dels seus propis mons, continuaren creant i reinventant-se dins del vibrant espai de l'incubadora.En: And so, with a more complete view of their own worlds, they continued creating and reinventing themselves within the vibrant space of the incubator.

A check-in conversation with Thomas Kliemt, co-founder of Kulturland, which has been growing and they are suddenly, after 10 years in the making, an overnight success. In the first 6 months of 2025, they accelerated their fundraising by 100%, raising the same €2.5m they raised in all of 2024.Once you enable access to land, transition it into the commons as an anti-speculation measure, and remove the huge debt burden new farmers face, who is actually going to farm this land? That's what Thomas' next venture is working to solve, inspired by a highly successful French model which has trained hundreds of farmers in running their businesses through incubator farms: new farmers work their own land for 3 years, run their enterprises, and receive a salary. Afterward, they are ready to take over a farm elsewhere and, remarkably, over 75% of them do. Many of the rest join other farms as employees. This is an incredibly high success rate for any incubator, and the model has already scaled to Belgium, Spain, and Finland. Now Thomas is bringing it to Germany.More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

We're excited to bring you a special cross-over episode from our friends at the 'Think Fast, Talk Smart' podcast. Host Matt Abrahams joined us and recorded this live session at the Stanford Seed Transformation Network Summit in Cape Town, exploring the authentic communication strategies that every entrepreneur needs to master.Real connection means understanding your audience, staying true to yourself, and creating space for others.How do you communicate who you are, what you stand for, and leave space for others to do the same? At the Stanford Seed Summit in Cape Town, South Africa, three Stanford Graduate School of Business professors explored why real connection is built through authentic communication.For Jesper Sørensen, authentic organizational communication means talking about a business in ways customers or investors can understand, like using analogies to relate a new business model to one that people already know. For incoming GSB Dean Sarah Soule, authentic communication is about truth, not trends. Her research on "corporate confession" shows that companies build trust when they admit their shortcomings — but only if those admissions connect authentically to their core business. And for Christian Wheeler, authentic communication means suspending judgment of ourselves and others. “We have a tendency to rush to categorization, to assume that we understand things before we really do,” he says. “Get used to postponing judgment.”In this special live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, host Matt Abrahams and his panel of guests explore communication challenges for budding entrepreneurs. From the risks of comparing yourself to competitors to how your phone might undermine genuine connection, they reveal how authentic communication — whether organizational or personal — requires understanding your audience, staying true to your values, and creating space for others to be heard.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
