In this episode, we explore the rapidly changing role of artificial intelligence in the tax and accounting profession. What began as simple AI-generated emails and content creation is quickly evolving into agent-based systems capable of performing real work across firm workflows.Drawing on conversations from industry events and firsthand experiences with firms and clients, we discuss why many believe we're at a major inflection point for AI adoption. Topics include the rise of AI agents, client expectations, the challenges of establishing a reliable "source of truth," and the growing need for governance, testing, and validation as firms automate sensitive processes.The discussion also tackles one of the profession's biggest questions: How do firms preserve professional judgment and develop future talent when more routine work is handled by AI? From structured versus unstructured data to workflow transformation and client service, this episode examines where AI is delivering value today—and where human expertise remains essential.Key topics include:The transition from AI experimentation to AI-powered workflowsWhy agentic AI could transform tax and advisory servicesRisks of overtrusting AI-generated outputsData security, governance, and quality control concernsThe role of professional judgment in an AI-enabled futureHow firms can balance automation with client relationshipsWhat tax season 2027 could look like as AI adoption acceleratesThis conversation offers a practical look at the opportunities, challenges, and realities facing firms as AI moves from novelty to necessity.

Drawing on WTR's new Primer covering approximately 50 public companies across five subsectors, Peter and Tim dig into the nine investment themes that matter most right now, why carbon intensity has become a direct revenue driver rather than a sustainability checkbox, and what separates the winners from the losers, from feedstock security to balance sheet strength through commissioning.

The Inflection Point for Flight: Inside Electra Aero's Quiet Revolution in Air Mobility (Replay)

The Aerospace Executive Podcast

In aerospace, we talk a lot about “the future of flight.” But most of that conversation has been driven by fantasy. Fully electric aircraft that can't fly far enough, and technologies that look good in a render but can't sustain the physics or economics of real aviation.   That's why what Electra Aero is building feels like the first practical revolution in modern air mobility. It's not about escaping airports altogether; it's about rethinking what access to the air actually means.    A platform that combines the short-range flexibility of a helicopter with the efficiency, speed, and safety of a fixed-wing aircraft. A system that can land in 150 feet, carry nine passengers, and fly 1,000 miles…all at a cost per seat mile that rivals a Cessna Caravan.   In other words, not a science experiment, but an aircraft for both the Pentagon and Palm Springs.   When you look at the infrastructure, the capital, and the technology now converging, from turbo generators to hybrid propulsion, it's clear the “inflection point” for advanced air mobility is already here. The question isn't if we'll see it, but when the iceberg breaks the surface and everyone suddenly realizes how much has already been built underneath.   What makes this design different enough for the Department of Defense to back it, and powerful enough to fly missions no existing aircraft can?   In this special replay episode, the CEO of Electra Aero, Mark Allen, joins me to dive into what it takes to turn an experimental prototype into a scalable aircraft production company. We also discuss how hybrid-electric flight could redefine how people and goods move between cities in the next decade.   You'll learn: Why “payload-to-range” is the real metric that will define the winners in advanced air mobility How Electra's hybrid-electric system radically cuts maintenance and lifecycle costs Why vertical takeoff isn't the future, ultra-short takeoff and landing is How runway independence could transform both defense logistics and civilian travel What it takes to fund deep-tech aviation in a VC world built for SaaS Why the next big shift in aerospace will feel like a “ketchup bottle” moment: slow, then all at once How leadership and team “swing” drive complex innovation when the mission is bigger than any one person About the Guest: Marc Allen is the CEO of Electra Aero. At Electra, Marc is leading the charge in developing hybrid-electric Ultra Short aircraft to define the next level of seamless air travel connectivity. Through direct aviation, Electra is bringing air travel closer to where people live, work, and play – without airports, emissions, or noise. ‍Marc joined Electra after a distinguished career at The Boeing Company, where he held several key leadership roles, including Chief Strategy Officer and Senior Vice President for Strategy and Corporate Development. He led the $5 billion customer finance business before spending nearly a decade on Boeing's Executive Council, where he served as President of Boeing International and oversaw critical enterprise-wide functions. As head of all venture businesses, he led Wisk Aero's restructuring and full acquisition, focusing on the future of autonomous flight and serving as Chairman. Other roles at Boeing included President of the Embraer Partnership, President of Boeing China, and General Counsel of Boeing International.

Private markets have stalled since interest rates started to rise in 2022, even as public markets have climbed to new highs. But a period of sustained economic growth along with rising liquidity and AI-driven innovation could help private markets rebound, according to Goldman Sachs' Pete Lyon and Michael Brandmeyer. Despite longer private equity holding times and mixed performance from private credit funds, they remain cautiously optimistic, projecting that distributions will gradually return to 15%-20% and that deal activity could exceed its 2021 peak within two to three years.

Joe Lubin makes the bull case for Ethereum amid a sea of bearishness. The panel dissects Saylor selling Bitcoin for the first time in four years, the meaning behind 9 senior EF departures, Justin Drake's Q-Day call (50% by 2032), Manuel Araoz declaring all of DeFi unsafe, the ThorChain hack fallout, the Zama/Overnight Finance USDC freeze saga, and the CFTC greenlighting the first US perpetual futures product. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week Joe Lubin is stepping in to make the bull case for ETH on what he admits is a tough day to be bullish. We open on Strategy's first Bitcoin sale in four years and whether the STRC preferred stock structure is "an algorithmic stablecoin with too many steps," as Tarun puts it. Joe pivots to pitching Ether DATs, then we get into the Ethereum Foundation's brain drain -- nine researchers gone, CROPS as the new mandate, and a mysterious new developer organization taking shape behind the scenes. The episode's meatiest block covers DeFi security: Justin Drake warns Q-Day is 50% likely by 2032, Manuel Araoz says all of DeFi is unsafe, ThorChain's been offline for two weeks post-hack, and the panel debates whether we're entering a rough 12-24 months where attackers outrun defenders.

Aidan Meany, Founder and CEO of Found Surface. Aidan is building a programmable knitwear factory in Cleveland that is reimagining what American apparel manufacturing can look likeWhat began for him with learning to sew from his grandmother and making clothes as a teenager has evolved into a much larger ambition — rebuilding the whole infrastructure to make apparel at scale here in the United States. Today, Found Surface develops its own yarn relationships from American farms and spinning partners, uses digital flatbed knitting and rapid assembly to make product close to home, and is building toward a future where brands can design, iterate, and produce without the waste, delay, and opacity of the traditional offshore model.In our conversation, Aidan and I explore the through line from his early fascination with clothing and making, to researching the fragmented state of American manufacturing during college, to building Found Surface first as a kind of supply chain connector and eventually into a serious manufacturing operation in Cleveland. We talk about why he believes this city is uniquely suited for the work, the deeper thesis behind vertical integration and domestic production, how digital knitting changes the economics of speed, customization, and minimum order size, and why overproduction — not just outsourcing — sits at the heart of so much of the apparel industry's dysfunction. We also discuss the partnership between Found Surface, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Cleveland Museum of Art, the company's broader sustainability philosophy around natural fibers and proximity, the challenge of building an organization where young people can find meaningful work, and Aidan's belief that Ohio has a real opportunity to help lead the next chapter of American industrial renewal.Aidan is a genuine inspiration and I hope you enjoy our conversation00:00 Inflection Point in Apparel Manufacturing09:48 Found Surface: Origins and Evolution15:20 The Made in America Challenge21:43 Building a Smart Factory: The Future of Production30:30 Sustainability in Apparel: A Dual Approach35:08 Sustainable Fashion and Health Concerns41:29 Cleveland: A Hub for Innovation and Collaboration49:47 Rewriting History: The Future of Manufacturing55:19 Lessons in Leadership and Trust01:02:57 Outro-----LINKS:https://foundsurface.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/aidanmeany-----SPONSOR:Cerity PartnersCerity Partners, a full-service investment and wealth management firm serving high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and business owners, is proud to sponsor Lay of The Land.

Dec Mullarkey, head of investment strategy and asset allocation at SLC Management, says that earnings are strong and should keep the stock market rolling, but that signs of weakness shown by the bond market and concerns about how the war in Iran is impacting oil are going to be limiting factors. Mullarkey worries that a longer conflict could turn oil into a global crisis, where rationing and other measures could create more severe and long-lasting economic troubles. If, however, the situation can be resolved quickly, Mullarkey says the shadows over hanging the market should clear quickly, providing a real boost going forward. In "The Week That Is," Vijay Marolia, chief investment officer at Regal Point Capital, looks at the bond market's sell-off from the end of last week, and while investors can cheer bond yields reaching their year-to-date high, he notes that higher rates could stunt economic growth and hurt the stock market's trajectory. The big thing he expects to impact markets in the week ahead, however, is Nvidia earnings on Wednesday, where he is expecting gonzo numbers but a disappointed market response, simply because investor expectations are sky high. Plus, he discusses community protests over data centers, noting that there are economic consequences buried under the headlines, as limiting data center growth could curtail capital expenditures by tech companies and limit the speed with which artificial intelligence can reach its potential. Plus, David Trainer, founder and president at New Constructs puts Shake Shack back in the Danger Zone, noting that the stock — which currently trades in the $60 range after being as high as $144 in the last year — has a negative book value, and is using accounting measures that are clear signs of trouble.

Hanaa and Lucien are BACK. The hosts catch up with each other, with Lucien discussing a recent long-haul trip back to the United States from Saudi Arabia (with 3 children in tow!). The hosts take some time to discuss their show's recent deliberate break since the start of Ramadan, and why they paused for a bit during the regional conflict. They share some thoughts on where Saudi Arabia goes from an inflection point now that will ripple through diplomacy, business, and culture.   They also catch up with each other's recent professional developments; Hanaa talks about her work building a new mission-led ed-tech agency and a forthcoming GCC book on women and vocational education. That led to Lucien's curiosity (a mini interview!) in Hanaa's views on how the advent of AI, already a major game-changer in labor and employment, will affect jobs and particularly youth as they enter key phases in the development of their thinking on career paths - something Hanaa has spent a great deal of time understanding. Hanaa discusses how AI is a genuine accelerant for personalized learning, but in schools it is a very different beast — and without a deliberate readiness strategy that protects young people's wellbeing and keeps humans in the loop, the technology deepens the very crisis it promises to solve. Hanaa frames AI in education through the lens of how young people actually learn and aspire, not through the technology itself. She talks about how AI in schools cannot be regulated like AI anywhere else because of two concerns that are paramount with AI for youth: safety and mental health.

We discuss how leaders are navigating a world shaped by poly crisis — where economic shifts, digital acceleration, geopolitical uncertainty, and social fragmentation collide.

David Reich is back.He and collaborator Ali Akbari just published a paper that overturns a long-standing consensus about human evolution — that natural selection has been dormant in our species since the agricultural revolution.By scaling ancient DNA sequencing and developing a new statistical method, they found that selection has actually sped up.Selection went especially bonkers during the Bronze Age (around 3,000 years ago).That's when gene frequencies for everything from immune function to body fat to intelligence were most in flux.Over the last 10,000 years, selection pushed the genetic predictor of cognitive performance up by roughly a full standard deviation — most of it between 4,000 and 2,000 years ago.After we finished recording, David sketched out on a whiteboard his new heretical model about who the Neanderthals really were. Luckily, I took out my iPhone and managed to record it.He thinks the standard story (that Neanderthals are some separate archaic lineage we interbred with a little) just doesn't fit the evidence. Instead, he proposes that Neanderthals are essentially genetically-swamped modern humans.A small population somewhere around the Caucasus invented Middle Stone Age technology roughly 300,000 years ago and expanded outward. The ones that moved into Europe interbred with local archaic humans, got genetically swamped, and became Neanderthals. The same expansion went into Africa, met much more diverged archaic Africans, and that mixture became us.This means Neanderthals and modern humans share the same cultural ancestry — the only difference is which archaic humans they mixed with afterward.David is a brilliant and rigorous scholar. It was a real delight to learn from him again.Watch on YouTube; read the transcript.Sponsors* Cursor was super useful as I prepped for this episode.

I write this with reluctance because I know that I will receive hundreds of emails correcting me on a few niggling little details.But write on, I must.“Write on, write on, write on.”“Cost of Compute” refers to the $8 to $13 that every AI company has to spend on electricity and short-lived computer chips for every $1 that comes through the door.Losing a dozen dollars for every dollar you touch isn't a problem when investors are showering you with cash from a fire hose.But it's beginning to look like the well has run dry.I did not want to defend where I got my information, so I went to the Goog and asked, “Oh Great Googness, why are people referring to the S&P 500 as the “S&P 10”?Check this out, cub scout, straight from the AI of the Almighty Google:“The S&P 500 is being referred to as the “S&P 10″ because a handful of massive technology-related companies dominate the index's performance. Due to market-cap weighting, these top 10 stocks disproportionately influence the index's total return, making the ‘broad market' performance heavily reliant on these few, AI-exposed companies. More than $40 of every $100 invested in the S&P 500 is going into just 10 companies, creating a high level of concentration not seen in decades. In some recent periods, those top 10 stocks have accounted for nearly 90% of the entire index's gains, indicating that the remaining 490+ stocks contribute very little to the overall upward movement.”Allow me to highlight Three Big Problems.Manufacturing companies, food companies, service companies, and all the other cash-hungry hopefuls that are the true wonders of the American economy have not been able to raise any money because way too many people have been dumping everything they've got into AI.That money has now slowed down, which means that a lot of AI dependent companies are now being burned by their “burn rate,” a slang term for “precisely how fast they are losing money.”AI is getting worse, not better, despite the fact that everyone is repeating like parrots, “AI is worse now than it will ever be. Hour by hour, AI will just keep getting better and better forever and ever.”Okay, I can tell from the look of doubt that I see in your eyes that you need me to explain a little bit more about Problem Number 3.They can't raise prices fast enough to stop the bleeding, so most of the AI companies have reduced their Cost of Compute by 86%.“But how?” you ask.Here's how. In the recent past, you could give your $200/mo AI some detailed instructions and it would go on a deep dive to bring you the golden nuggets of information that you requested. The 86% savings of Compute Cost is because they instructed the AI to just look in the cache for what they told someone else who asked a similar question. You get a recycled answer, and the AI company saves 86%.I'll wrap this up by giving you the storyteller's definition of “inflection point.”Bad storytellers say, “This happened, then This happened, then This happened, then This happened, then This happened.”Real stories happen like this: “This happened, THEREFORE this happened, BUT then, This happened.”“BUT then, This happened” is called “an Inflection Point.”“So what's going to happen next?”Let's wait and see.Roy H.

Todd also shares his perspective on market structure, volatility, and the growing role of individual investors in private markets. They discuss: How early career experiences shaped Todd's approach to risk, leadership, and acting as a fiduciary Why empowering teams to make decisions without constant oversight builds stronger organizations How CenterSquare uses data and repeatable frameworks to identify and scale investment strategies The advantages of integrating public and private real estate insights to generate alpha Why volatility in public markets can be a powerful opportunity rather than a risk Links: Todd on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/todd-briddell/ CenterSquare Investment Management - https://www.centersquare.com/ Brandon on LinkedIn - ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/bsedloff/⁠⁠ Juniper Square - ⁠⁠https://www.junipersquare.com/⁠⁠ Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:01:45) - Todd's career and background (00:09:52) - Making decisions absent information (00:14:48) - The early days of CenterSquare and becoming CEO (00:22:46) - What CenterSquare looks like today (00:29:27) - CenterSquare's global footprint (00:31:32) - Having a data-driven approach (00:37:35) - The intersection of public and private markets (00:43:19) - How institutions should think about working with individual investors (00:50:42) - Where Todd is focusing over the next 18 months

Senior living investments are at a critical inflection point. Demand is sharply rising as the Baby Boomer generation ages, but supply hasn't kept pace. The “silver tsunami” is starting to send waves our way, and skilled operators are already taking advantage. Value-add senior living investments, like the example shared by today's guest, are seeing values multiply—and diligent operators have huge opportunities not only to make sizable returns but also to provide better lives for their residents. Lynn Jerath, founder of Citrine Investment Group, has a battle-tested background in REIT investing, hospitality, multifamily, and real estate private equity. She's pivoted to senior housing investments not only because of the profit potential, but also because of the purpose behind them. And she's not just buying managerially distressed assets, flipping the operator, and walking away. Lynn's team is delivering significant value add and, as a result, increasing the facility's value by 2x–3x on their total investment. She says demand is still growing while supply is constrained—and this trend could accelerate.  Between independent living, assisted living, memory care, and active adult investments, Lynn proves (with real numbers) that this space is far from saturated as the silver surge begins to wash ashore.  Insights from today's episode: Real return numbers on senior living investments as Lynn operates heavy value-add improvements  Why senior living has a long road ahead as demand grows and supply stagnates  Thinking of going from multifamily to senior living? Lynn has crucial advice to share  The #1 way to get more senior living residents in your community  Most popular niches of senior living (and their current cap rates)  Lynn's exact buy box for senior living investments—what has to work for her to buy   — Connect with Lynn on LinkedIn Citrine Investment Group Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

Simon Willison is a prolific independent software developer, a blogger, and one of the most visible and trusted voices on the impact AI is having on builders. He co-created Django, the web framework that powers Instagram, Pinterest, and tens of thousands of other websites. He coined the term “prompt injection,” popularized the terms “AI slop” and “agentic engineering,” and has built over 100 open source projects, including Datasette, a data analysis tool used by investigative journalists worldwide. What makes Simon unique is that he's made the leap from traditional software engineering to AI-native development more fully and visibly than almost anyone—and he's been documenting everything he learns in real time on his blog, SimonWillison.net.In our in-depth conversation, Simon shares:1. Why November 2025 was the inflection point when AI coding agents crossed from “mostly works” to “actually works”2. How Simon writes 95% of his code from his phone now and why he's mentally exhausted by 11 a.m.3. Why mid-career engineers (not juniors) are most at risk right now4. The three agentic engineering patterns Simon uses daily (red/green TDD, templates, hoarding)5. The next leap: the “dark factory” pattern where nobody writes or reviews code and AI does its own QA6. Why prompt injection is an unsolved security problem and the “lethal trifecta” that will likely lead to an AI Challenger disaster7.
