    PREVIEW: US Tomahawk Missile Transfer to Ukraine Considered for Strikes on Russian Infrastructure Guest:John Hardie John Batchelor speaks with John Hardie of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) regarding the potential US transfer of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine via Europe. The Tomahawk is a cruise missile with a range of 1,500 miles (2,000 kilometers), typically carrying conventional weaponry, although it is capable of carrying a nuclear-tipped warhead. If supplied, the Tomahawks would bring Russian infrastructure, especially war-fighting associated sites, into range. The move is viewed as a "counterpunch" due to Trump's reported frustration with Putin's involvement in Ukraine peace talks. The potential Tomahawk supply is reportedly being considered alongside the Trump administration's decision to provide intelligence for Ukrainian strikes against Russian energy infrastructure. These long-range missiles could target key Russian defense industrial sites, such as Shahed-type drone factories in Alabuga. This possible transfer is noted as a potential escalation.

    When Steve Sutter joined Celigo five years ago, he stepped into a company positioned not as another SaaS app but as what he calls “the infrastructure, the piping, the plumbing” of business automation. Celigo, he tells us, moves data between systems like Salesforce, NetSuite, and Snowflake so companies can “create very sophisticated business processes” without the friction of disconnected silos.For Sutter, the real work of finance begins behind that plumbing. “As CFO, you have to build a sustainable business model,” he tells us, one rooted in clear unit economics—how each dollar of new recurring revenue is earned and what it costs to deliver value. That analytical discipline, he explains, gives finance a vantage point “no one else has,” allowing it to balance engineering ambition with go-to-market execution.Working inside a privately held, fast-growth environment, Sutter views resource allocation as both art and accountability. Sometimes, he says, companies must “invest in sales and marketing at an excessive rate” to gain traction—but the test is whether the model still makes mathematical sense. He partners closely with the CRO and CMO to watch metrics like the quota-to-OTE ratio and pipeline efficiency, adjusting as conditions change.Even at scale, Sutter keeps a simple mantra: acknowledge failure quickly. “As soon as you've acknowledged failure,” he tells us, “you can move on to something that will likely be successful.” It's a principle that keeps Celigo's growth disciplined—and its automation ambitions grounded in financial logic.

    London is rapidly expanding its electric vehicle infrastructure, with over 21,000 charging points across the city – nearly a third of the UK's total. But to meet its 2030 net zero targets, London will need tens of thousands more, with significant investment required across all boroughs. Upcoming changes to the Cleaner Vehicle Discount, which would end EVs' exemption from the congestion charge, risk slowing that progress.The Electric London coalition, following The Standard's Leading the Charge campaign, is calling on Mayor Sadiq Khan to protect London's EV uptake and ongoing infrastructure growth.In this second special episode focusing on investment and infrastructure, The Standard's Business Editor, Jonathan Prynn, speaks with Matt Croucher, Chief Commercial Officer at ChargePoint operator Believ, and Judy O'Keefe, Director of Fleet at Openreach, who is overseeing one of the UK's largest commercial EV transitions. They explore what it takes to electrify London at scale, the challenges facing fleet operators and charging providers, and what needs to happen to keep the city on track for a cleaner, electric future.

    Retirement confidence is under pressure. While younger generations are entering the workforce with optimism, the latest Read on Retirement report reveals troubling gaps between savers, plan sponsors, and retirees. Only 38% of employers believe their employees are on track, and confidence among retirees has dropped to historic lows.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido speaks with Jamie Magyera, Head of BlackRock's U.S. Wealth Advisory and Retirement Business, about the findings from a decade of retirement data. Together, they explore what's driving the confidence gap and the bold actions needed to close it.Jamie highlights three calls to action for the retirement industry: expand access to professional management, deliver guaranteed income solutions, and broaden portfolios to include private markets. She also underscores the need for education and re-enrollment so savers fully benefit from these innovations. With retirement confidence at a crossroads, this episode offers both a reality check and a roadmap for plan sponsors, policymakers, and individuals alike.Sources: BlackRock's Read on Retirement Survey, September 2025Key insights include:· Why retirement savers' confidence often outpaces employers' assessment, and what this paradox reveals.· How target date funds and auto-enrollment are making retirement saving easier and more effective.· Why guaranteed income solutions are increasingly vital to ensure retirees don't outlive their savings.· The growing importance of private markets in delivering long-term returns and diversification alongside public markets.· Differences across generations and genders in retirement confidence — and how advice and professional management can help bridge gaps.· How market volatility, student debt, and competing financial priorities continue to challenge long-term savers.Timestamps:00:00 Retirement Confidence at a Crossroads01:59 Key Findings and Confidence Gaps in the latest Read on Retirement Report04:40 Calls to Action for Retirement Preparedness08:39 Generational Differences in Retirement Planning10:35 Gender Gaps in Retirement Confidence12:12 Challenges and Future of Retirement Planning16:50 Personal Reflections and Advice18:36 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsCheck out episode 225 on retirement planning where we discuss what new legislation could mean for your retirement account: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4mH8LyNQFsYSV0bxEH1NGU?si=ed429467800b4617Check out this playlist on investing for retirement here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/08Fx1iZaBwLclqpswIbjUq

We had the Conservative housing critic on the pod, Scott Aitchison, who gave us his take on what needs to be done.Today, we get the government's view of things with the Honourable Gregor Robertson, Canada's Minister of Housing and Infrastructure.Mr. Robertson has a long and impressive CV, so please pardon my drastic précis here: He served as the Mayor of Vancouver for a decade, 2008 to 2018, where his focus was on transit and cycling infrastructure ... introducing modular housing to support unhoused residents ... leading on co-ops and supportive housing ... and starting the country's first successful empty homes tax. Prior to that, he was a Member of the B.C. Legislature for 3 years, 2005-2008. As well as the Co-Founder and CEO of “Happy Planet” Organic Foods.So, we're going to talk about this new government agency “Build Canada Homes” and how it plans to “supercharge housing construction across Canada”. How will the programs work?

    In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ interviews JB Baker, VP of Marketing and Product Management at ScaleFlux. They dive deep into the challenges and innovations in data storage and memory for AI workloads, discuss the hidden costs of data center inefficiency, and explore how ScaleFlux is disrupting the industry with advanced flash storage solutions. JB also shares insights from his endurance athlete mindset and offers advice for innovators. Key Takeaways: The Data Bottleneck in AI (2:01) The biggest challenge in AI infrastructure is not processing power, but storage and memory that can't keep up with demand. Hidden Costs in Data Centers (7:12) Up to 40% of data center power is spent on cooling, not processing, leading to massive inefficiencies and costs. ScaleFlux’s Disruptive Solution (15:38) ScaleFlux’s custom SSD controllers enable real-time data compression in hardware, doubling performance and reducing costs for enterprises. Endurance Mindset in Business (23:18) JB applies lessons from endurance sports to business, emphasizing persistence and continuous improvement as keys to innovation. Quote of the Show (3:41):"Those cores can process so much more data per second and so much more data per watt. But when the entire infrastructure isn't balanced, you're losing out on these efficiencies.

The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District partnered with the nonprofit creative-writing center Literary Cleveland to host a reading of "Odes to Infrastructure," a newly-published zine, right in the heart of our Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant. It was a celebration of our essential-yet-often-unseen water systems and, of course, Lake Erie.Standing in the concrete tunnels where our treatment-plant workers normally move about, the Literary Cleveland writers delivered readings of poetry and short stories inspired by our infrastructure and its relationship to a cleaner Lake Erie. The echoing chamber amplified both their voices and the central message: connection. As one writer eloquently put it, "Stories and sewers bind us. They reveal our interconnectedness, our mutual dependence."By bringing writers into treatment plants for tours and workshops Literary Cleveland created a new forum for highlighting our critical work.Here's some photos from the event!Visit Literary Cleveland for more info about workshops and tours.
