My guest on today's show is Matt Spielman, Founder and CEO of Inflection Point Partners, an executive coaching firm that works with leaders primarily in investment organizations. Matt first joined me on the show four years ago, where we discussed his path into executive coaching, inflection points in his career, and his GPS system that aligns an individual's goals and helps execute. Our conversation this time builds on that foundation with what Matt has learned since. We explore the challenges of leadership at the top, the personality dynamics that shape investment organizations, and the essential role of feedback, empathy, and appreciation in managing people. We discuss the evolution of Inflection Point from one-on-one coaching to firmwide leadership systems, and the role artificial intelligence may play in scaling his work going forward.

The summer has come to a close in a crescendo of chaos. Political violence, confusion and anger are the defining features of the American vibe. And the American vibe, it ain't good. Tension everywhere as new cities are added to the target list seemingly daily. Memphis, LA, New York, Chicago. And now a government shutdown when things couldn't get any more fraught. It's a good time to stay frosty and an even better time to stay vigilant. And now, on the heels of this week's unprecedented speech at Quantico by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and President Trump, we need some perspective. And this week we're joined by one of our favorite voices to hear from — one of America's favorite voices to hear from — when we need clarity. Legendary documentary filmmaker Ken Burns is back for another stirring, timely exploration of America's ongoing revolution—past and present with your host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff). Ken reflects on the meaning of patriotism, baseball's role in American life, and the fragile state of democracy in 2025.

As America has reeled from the assassination of Charlie Kirk, many have wondered what the future holds.How will this tragedy transform America? Will political violence continue to escalate? What is the path forward?To understand our current political and cultural moment, I sat down with legal scholar and political philosopher Robert George. He's a professor and director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University.“We're at an inflection point, and it's very worrying, very dangerous,” George said. “We could easily fall into a cycle of revenge, and then what becomes of us?”For years, he has been contemplating how the age of faith and the age of reason have been succeeded by what he has described as the “age of feelings” and moral relativism.His new book is titled: “Seeking Truth and Speaking Truth: Law and Morality in Our Cultural Moment.”In this episode, we have explored Kirk's legacy, the dangers of ever-growing polarization, and the pernicious ideas that have eroded civil discourse and the foundations of our free society.“If this generation rising today does not adopt a spirit of civic friendship, if they don't value civil discourse, then … this grand experiment in republican government and ordered liberty bequeathed to us by our great founding fathers will be lost,” George said.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Interview with Claudia Tornquist, CEO & Chris Taylor, Chairman of Kodiak CopperOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/kodiak-copper-tsxvkdk-maiden-resource-reveals-300m-tonnes-at-bc-copper-project-7337Recording date: 9th September 2025Kodiak Copper Corp is positioned for a significant catalyst with its maiden resource estimate due in Q4 2025, marking a crucial inflection point for the copper-gold porphyry explorer. Led by President and CEO Claudia Tornquist with Chairman Chris Taylor, the company has systematically consolidated a mining district in southern British Columbia through six years of disciplined exploration, completing 90,000 meters of drilling across seven mineralized zones.The initial resource phase, released in June 2025, delivered approximately 300 million tons at grades of 0.42% copper equivalent for indicated resources and 0.33% for inferred resources across four zones. The completion of the full maiden resource incorporating the remaining three zones will provide comprehensive visibility into the project's scale potential. Recent drilling has identified particularly attractive high-grade intersections near surface, including 27 meters at 1.62% copper, which could serve as starter pits for future mining operations.Management acknowledges the strategic reality of large-scale porphyry development, with Tornquist noting that "I don't think there's a single porphyry project that was developed by the junior who did the initial exploration. Very likely at some stage a major will take interest." This positions Kodiak as an acquisition target rather than an operator, typical for projects requiring substantial capital investment.The company trades at a significant valuation discount to comparable peers, with management identifying similar companies at $300-400 million market capitalizations representing five to six times Kodiak's current valuation. The dual copper-gold exposure provides additional value, particularly with gold representing 25% of project value and trading well above the $2,600 per ounce used in resource calculations.Beyond the flagship MPD project, Kodiak owns the undeveloped Mohave copper-molybdenum project in Arizona, providing portfolio optionality. With adequate financing from a recent Canaccord round and clear development milestones ahead, Kodiak offers leveraged exposure to the copper supply shortage while maintaining strong M&A potential.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/kodiak-copper-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Stash Graham sees health care lagging but eyes opportunities in banks (preferring regional) and energy (natural gas especially). He also prefers stocks over ETFs or other investment vehicles. The “impulse for inflationary pressures is intensifying,” in the White House, he argues. This makes it less appealing for the Fed to cut rates, but with a weakening labor market and the “inflection point” of tariffs for many businesses, he thinks there could be 1-2 cuts this year.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Nick Sargen, consultant and senior economic advisor at Fort Washington Investment Advisors, says that investors haven't really seen the economic impact of tariffs and other policies that experts were warning the public about, but they are seeing those issues now. "Fasten your seatbelts," Sargen warns, "you're just beginning to see the impacts." While not calling for a recession, Sargen says he sees headwinds for the market because "I don't understand how the market can keep setting record highs every day when now we are confronting major uncertainty." Carley Garner, senior commodity strategist at DeCarley Trading, says she sees "a lot more downside risk than upside potential" for the market right now, noting that it will be hard for the Standard & Poor's 500 to top 6,500 in the next few months whereas a decline could drop the index "into the low 5,000s." As a result, DeGarner has made her own portfolio particularly defensive, holding "mostly Treasuries" because there is "more risk than reward to be long stocks" now. Further, Garner says it's a "sell-the-rallies market for gold and silver," largely because she expects the gold rally to end -- and for precious metals to potentially take a big fall -- when the dollar gets a little stronger. Plus, Rita Choula, senior director of caregiving for the AARP Public Policy Institute, discusses its Caregiving in the U.S. 2025 study, which showed that more than 63 million Americans are providing ongoing complex care for family members, and that they are sacrificing their financial security, health and well-being in many cases in order to do it.
George Goncalves, Head of Macro Strategy in the Americas, takes us through one of the busiest macro week of the year, where we had the Fed, QRA, BoJ, tariff deadlines and announcements, and a slew of labor data. In the end, the biggest highlight of the week was the extremely weak employment report which also had large revisions to the previous two months. Judging by the markets reaction, the downside in jobs data came as a surprise to markets but was not a shock to our macro team which has been flagging how labor market data has been overstating reality for months. Additionally, the team discussed the recently published Macro2Markets monthly titled, “At an inflection point or another macro head fake?” where we covered the idea of how risk markets are pricing in a goldilocks scenario and how tariffs can be utilized to pay for the Big Beautiful Bill and the potential changes in Treasury demand. George wraps up by suggesting to stay on guard ahead because risks are now more asymmetric to the downside as risk markets are due a pullback.

With President Trump's tariffs putting a sharp focus on China, most will likely be closely watching negotiations between the two as they look to avoid a full-blown trade war. In the meantime, the EU also has its eye on China, as Beijing's wide trade surplus with the bloc and its backing of Moscow are key concerns. Brad Setser, the Whitney Shepardson senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations with an expertise in global trade, joins Thanos Davelis today as we take a closer look at how Europe is shifting when it comes to China.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Ursula von der Leyen tells Xi Jinping EU-China ties are at ‘inflection point'Wildfires rage in Greece and Turkey as extreme heat persistsNew legislation will grant legal status to Mt Sinai monastery
We all swore we'd move away from Big Tech, the biosecurity state, land-grabs, and technocracy under Biden. Yet it is reaching an entirely new level under the Trump administration, and nobody on the Right seems to care. We're joined today by Patrick Wood, editor in chief of Technocracy, who breaks down the bad and the ugly of Trump's new AI action plan, which empowers the very tech companies building techno-fascism to control our economy. He warns that they plan to create their own power grid to control us with data centers and then export it to the world. Relatedly, these same entities pushed the stablecoin legislation to ensure that our economy runs on assets they control rather than real currency. Finally, we discuss how AI is not the answer for general intelligence and is failing to live up to its hype, yet the masters of the universe want to accelerate its control because it cements their power.

Francisco Bido says Nvidia's (NVDA) dominant market share in A.I. is "phenomenal." Its leadership role is what he believes will push the stock 25% higher over the next 18 months and sees the company being the first to hit $5 trillion in market cap. Austin Lyons adds that its chips being used for evolving tech like autonomous driving and robotics will make Nvidia a long-term household name.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! This week, Pastor Howard walks us through a major turning point in the early church—the moment the gospel broke beyond cultural and religious barriers in Acts 10–11. It's a powerful reminder that God's kingdom is for everyone. No more “us” and “them”—just people Jesus loves and is calling to Himself. Are we willing to see others the way He does?

You've heard it before and you'll hear it again. AI is a gold rush. It will change everything. But 2025 is different, That Was The Week tech newsletter publisher Keith Teare argues. This is the year that the AI gold rush is changing everything. In our reflection of the first six months of 2025, Keith argues that we're witnessing a fundamental "phase shift" - not just another tech cycle, but an inflection point where scale becomes a necessity for survival. From Meta's $100 million developer deals to the consolidation of 80% of venture capital into just five firms, from Cloudflare's revolutionary "toll booth" economy replacing advertising models to the tokenization of private markets through platforms like Robinhood, the rules of Silicon Valley are being rewritten. As graduates face an employment crisis and AI superstars command unprecedented compensation, Keith and I debate whether this transformation represents capitalism's natural evolution or a dangerous concentration of power that could reshape the global economy forever.1. Scale Has Become a Survival Requirement2025 marks a shift where scale isn't just advantageous—it's necessary for survival. With 80% of venture capital flowing to just five firms (Andreessen, Sequoia, Cotu, Lightspeed, and one other), and late-stage investors writing billion-dollar checks for 3-5x returns instead of traditional smaller bets for 100x gains, the venture capital game has fundamentally changed.2. The "Toll Booth" Economy is Replacing AdvertisingCloudflare's "paper crawl" initiative represents a seismic shift from advertising-based revenue models to direct payment systems where AI companies must pay publishers for content access. This could create new revenue streams for content creators while giving them control over how their intellectual property is used for AI training.3. Tokenization is Democratizing Private MarketsRobinhood's tokenization of companies like SpaceX and OpenAI allows European retail investors to buy shares in private companies through crypto-backed tokens. This convergence of private markets, public markets, and crypto could fundamentally change who can access high-growth investments.4. AI Superstars Command Unprecedented ValueWhile AI eliminates many jobs, it's creating extreme value concentration among top talent. Meta's $100 million deals for individual AI experts and OpenAI's $6 billion deal with Johnny Ive illustrate how differentiated developers are becoming incredibly valuable in an age where most workers face displacement.5. 2025 is the Inflection Point, Not the FutureUnlike previous tech cycles, Keith argues this isn't about future potential—the transformation is happening now. With companies like OpenAI reaching $14 billion in annual revenue and AI's economic impact becoming undeniable, 2025 represents the moment when AI shifted from promise to reality, making it a true inflection point rather than just another tech trend.Where Keith and I fundamentally disagree is over jobs. He seems to skate over the implications of jobless consequences of AI, believing in some sort of magical age of abundance in which we will all be free to pursue our hobbies. I think this is entirely wrong. This is where his Silicon Valley language about having to “scale or die” is so terrifying. Over the next couple of decades, tens of millions of people are going to lose both their jobs and careers to the AI revolution. Some might find other kinds of work, but most won't. The age of abundance is total a myth. Instead of “scale or die”, the mantra of the coming age will be “scale or starve”. What we are about to experience is the kind of economic scarcity that will utterly transform our societies and politics. 2025 might be an inflection point for Silicon Valley. But that existential moment for the rest of us will come in around 2030.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Quentin Mai wraps up the week in gold. “We're at an inflection point in history” for the metal, he says, as it regains attention for the first time in years. “Gold is the best performing asset out there” for investors looking for stability, he argues. With the cost of producing an ounce of gold around $1,400-$1,500, the $3,000+ price of gold is boosting mining companies. He discusses the pros and cons between buying physical gold, or a proxy like GLD.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Brian D. Pieninck didn't take a conventional path to healthcare leadership. He started his career as an 18-year-old IT contractor and spent two decades working across the industry before becoming President and CEO of CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield. He now also serves as Chair of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, bringing both local and national perspective to the role. In this episode, Keith Figlioli speaks with Pieninck about what it means to lead a not-for-profit regional payer at a time of seismic change. With 3.6 million members and coverage that spans commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid, CareFirst has become a vital part of healthcare access and infrastructure across the Mid-Atlantic. Pieninck reflects how demographic shifts, rising costs, and policy uncertainty are challenging how healthcare organizations evolve, while staying focused on long-term outcomes. Pieninck and Keith discuss: Advancing health equity as part of the community. Pieninck sees CareFirst not just as a payer, but as part of the region's civic infrastructure, creating economic opportunities, delivering care through primary and urgent care locations, and supporting long-term health equity initiatives across Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia. Medicaid coverage and its downstream impact. With nearly half of children in Maryland and DC relying on Medicaid, Pieninck warns that cuts or disruptions don't reduce the need for care; they push it into higher-cost, less coordinated settings like emergency departments. The balloon effect in healthcare financing. As costs are squeezed in one area, they inflate in another. Pieninck challenges the idea that market forces can realign care efficiently. He discusses how efforts to contain spending in one area often lead to inefficiencies elsewhere, and the system ends up paying more later because early, lower-cost interventions are underfunded or inaccessible. Innovation that simplifies the system. Through CareFirst's innovation arm, Healthworx, Pieninick highlights the need to design a system that works for people by reducing complexity and embedding support directly into the healthcare experience. AI and infrastructure: opportunity meets readiness. With nearly three decades of experience on the technology side of healthcare, Pieninck is bullish on AI's potential—especially now that it's available at a price point that can scale. Real progress, he notes, will depend on thoughtful governance, better interoperability, and models built around human needs. This episode offers a look at how one regional plan is thinking through the tensions between access, affordability and innovation, and what that means for the broader system. To hear Brian D. Pieninck and Keith discuss these challenges in depth, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders.

For a while, you could pretend AI was still a someday problem. Not anymore. Rob Collie and Justin Mannhardt are back, and this time they are tackling Model-Context-Protocol (MCP) and Multi-Agent Systems, two shifts that could finally put an end to the human copy-paste Olympics. This isn't about shinier tools. It is about AI that plugs in without the duct tape and starts doing the work without making you babysit. Rob and Justin dig into what's real, what's coming, and why "waiting to see" is no longer a strategy. MCP is being called the USB-C of AI. Multi-Agent Systems are making AI check its own work, so you do not have to. Translation? The gap between "early" and "too late" is closing fast, and the status quo isn't going to cut it much longer. If you are tired of the hype but know you can't sit this one out, this episode is the advice you have been waiting for. So, tune in and enjoy!
