A seasoned dealer since 1985, Benji is entering the franchise world after nearly 40 years in the independent auto business.He acquired Bravo Nissan of Victoria, TX, from Bravo Autos' Raymond Palacios and Alex Flores.Even the prancing horse isn't immune to the EV slowdown. Ferrari is postponing its second electric vehicle—originally planned for 2026—by at least two years, signaling ongoing hesitance in the high-performance luxury EV market.Ferrari's first EV, a larger, atypical model co-designed by ex-Apple design chief Jony Ive, will debut in October with 2026 deliveries starting at over $500,000; it's seen more as a symbolic milestone than a volume play.Internally, the second EV is viewed as the true strategic launch, with targets of 5,000–6,000 units over five years.That second model has now been delayed twice, with no real demand yet from Ferrari's core enthusiast base.The delay also gives Ferrari time to refine its proprietary EV tech while competitors like Lamborghini, Porsche, and Maserati similarly reevaluate or scale back their EV timelines.“Real, sustainable demand is non-existent for an electric sports car,” said a source close to the matter.In one of the largest EV infrastructure deployments in North America, LAZ Parking is installing 50,000 Level 2 chargers at its facilities—bringing EV access directly into the daily routines of city dwellers and commuters.The rollout spans over 4,000 locations across 43 states and 536 cities, integrating charging into where people live, work, and park.LAZ is partnering with Epic Charging and Autel Energy, with Autel providing the preferred hardware for the project.The initiative avoids the highway model of fast-charging stops, instead embedding EV access into residential and urban life.TikTok is stepping deeper into the AI marketing game, unveiling new tools that let brands generate influencer-style videos using synthetic avatars—potentially redefining who gets paid to promote.The Symphony AI ads platform now lets advertisers create virtual avatars that model clothes, demo apps, and showcase products.These avatars mimic human influencers in both look and behavior, offering content at scale without contracts or shoot days.For brands, it means lower costs and fasteJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

After what's seemed like years of waiting for their offence to arrive, over the last month the Blue Jays seem to have figured out how to hit and score runs. They're flying high, playing like one of the absolute best teams in baseball despite a rotation in shambles beyond the front three. This week we look at how internal improvements have powered their offensive outburst, and where improvements still need to be made in order to fix the pitching staff and weather the storms that surely lie ahead.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWUntapped Market: Canada consumes ~24,000 tonnes of fumed silica annually. HPQ aims to become the country's first domestic producer.Cost Advantage: Traditional plants cost up to $150 million. HPQ's model requires a fraction of that—making it economically and environmentally superior.Global Relevance: Amid new tariffs and reshoring trends, HPQ offers a local, low-emission alternative to imported materials from China and Europe.HPQ Silicon has reached the most significant milestone in its history: independent analysis has confirmed its proprietary Fumed Silica Reactor (FSR) produced commercial-grade material. This breakthrough disrupts a global industry still reliant on a toxic, energy-intensive process that hasn't meaningfully changed since 1944.Fumed silica is essential in everyday products like cosmetics, toothpaste, batteries, and paints. Traditional production requires converting quartz into silicon metal, processing it with corrosive chemicals, and incinerating it with hydrogen gas. HPQ's process skips all that—producing fumed silica in a single step from raw quartz, with lower emissions, lower costs, and no hazardous byproducts.The validation? It comes from a third-party microscopy analysis (conducted at one of Montreal's top research universities), which confirmed that HPQ's pilot-scale product matches the morphology and structure of established, high-purity industry standards.This milestone reinforces HPQ's previously signed Letter of Intent with Evonik Industries, a $10 billion German chemical company that invented fumed silica and dominates the global market. With the technology now proven at a 20x lab scale, the door opens to further technical evaluations—and eventual commercial engagement.“We've replicated lab-scale results at 20x scale and confirmed it through side-by-side imaging. This is the single biggest milestone in HPQ's history.” — Bernard Tourillon, CEOWith this third-party validation in hand, HPQ is moving quickly to capitalize. Conversations with Evonik are already underway to determine whether this latest material batch will be shipped for qualification. Other major fumed silica producers—previously awaiting test results—have resumed discussions. Internally, HPQ continues optimizing the grade and consistency of its product through additional test cycles. With its pilot plant operating smoothly and yielding better-than-expected output, HPQ is now mapping the path to commercial production—built on scalable, industry-standard components. The momentum is real, and the company is positioning itself as a clean-tech leader in a global market ready for disruption.BOLD DISRUPTION OF AN 80-YEAR-OLD INDUSTRYSTRATEGIC INTEREST FROM A GLOBAL LEADERWHAT'S NEXT

We all know Lincoln Riley: the head coach, the play-caller, the quarterback developer. But do you know how his work ethic was formed? How his father taught him that no detail is too small? Or why he's savoring the small wins as he rebuilds USC?If not, today's episode of the Y-Option Podcast, presented by our founding partner 76, is the perfect listen.I've been around college football for 25 years. As pressure mounts, revenue grows, and realignment dominates headlines, it's easy to forget the human beings behind the programs - those who lead, call plays, and develop young athletes.And when it comes to head coaches and quarterbacks, it's easy to focus on salary, job title, or recruiting rankings. But the truth is always deeper.Today's conversation brings you into the “why” behind Lincoln Riley's leadership - his upbringing in Muleshoe, Texas, the influence of Mike Leach, the lasting impact of his dear friend Dave Nichol and much more.As a fellow small-town transplant drawn to the big-city lights, Lincoln and I talk about what it means to now call Los Angeles home and what he enjoys when he finds time off the field.When I first started coaching at USC in 2005 under Pete Carroll, one of the most fascinating dynamics I noticed in L.A. was the tension between external vs. internal reality. Players are often told by the outside world that they're elite, destined to dominate. Internally, though, they may be struggling - learning the playbook, adjusting to a demanding environment. That's natural in a sport as developmental as football. But at USC, that disconnect can be amplified, especially in the current landscape of college football.Coach Riley and I explored when he first noticed that, and how he helps his players deal with it and the lessons learned early on at USC.Finally, we delve into his quarterback room. He's coached a range of personalities, and there's no single way to mold them. Think about it: from Baker to Kyler to Spencer to Caleb to Miller to the current room at USC. It's full of such dynamic personalities and all so different. So I had to ask: How do you actually talk to that position?If you've followed my podcast, you know my only rule: ask questions I don't already know the answers to. And this episode taught me a lot - about Lincoln Riley the small-town kid with principled parents, Lincoln Riley the head coach at USC, and Lincoln Riley the human being.I hope you enjoy getting to know him as much as I did.Much love, and stay steady,YogiExecutive produced by Jim Thornby, field produced by McKenna Keil, filmed by Liam Brennan, edited by Victor Ren.

Trust is essential in every part of a pet sitting business. It begins before a client ever reaches out and is built through clear communication, consistency, and transparency. Clients look for reassurance at every step, and trust can grow when expectations are met and mistakes are owned. Building trust with pets requires patience, routine, and positive reinforcement to create a sense of safety. Internally, trust within a team—and with yourself as a business owner—comes from accountability, honest reflection, and clear follow-through. Main Topics Recognizing signs of client distrust Building trust through transparency Establishing pet trust with routine care Rebuilding self-trust as a business owner Cultivating a trust-based team culture Main takeaway: “Trust is really a living thing in your business. It grows or it shrinks with every action you take.” In pet care, trust isn't built in one big moment—it's built in the tiny, repeated ones: showing up on time, communicating clearly, owning your mistakes, and staying consistent. Whether it's with your clients, their pets, your team, or even yourself, every choice matters. If trust is low, take small actions that rebuild it. Every visit, every message, every decision is a chance to grow something strong and lasting. Links: Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!

Send us a textI did my leg in, and I've been doing physical therapy as a result. You can't tell I have a problem looking at the surface, but deep underneath I really messed up my hamstring area. A lot of injuries are like that - and if left unchecked, can cause a lot of problems. Internally, we all have things that perhaps others cannot see on the surface, but they are serious spiritual issues nonetheless.

In this episode of the Rainmaker Podcast, host Gui Costin welcomes Drew Dolan, co-founder and principal of DXD Capital, for a compelling conversation on data-driven development, investor relations, and building a specialized real estate platform. With over 20 years in real estate and a deep passion for ground-up development, Drew shares how he transitioned from technical sales into leading one of the most forward-thinking firms in self-storage.Founded in 2020, DXD Capital was built on the belief that self-storage is a real estate-driven asset class where location and timing are everything. By leveraging a proprietary analytics platform, Radius+, co-created by Drew's partner, DXD is able to assess rates, density, competition, and demographic trends with precision. This data-first strategy has helped DXD identify and develop prime self-storage projects across the U.S.—from Nantucket to Maui.Drew walks through the firm's capital strategy, explaining their evolution from a $63M LP fund to a flexible model incorporating both funds and one-off joint ventures with family offices. This structure allows DXD to cater to both high-net-worth individuals and large institutions, with a focus on customization, transparency, and performance. Drew emphasizes that communication is key—monthly updates, timely financials, and responsiveness help build trust with their 300+ investors.Internally, DXD runs a lean, focused operation with 30 employees spread across three main offices and remote locations near active projects. Slack and weekly check-ins are central to internal communication, while in-person retreats help maintain cultural connection. Drew also shares his leadership philosophy, centered around empowering others, encouraging ongoing learning, and hiring people who are better than him in key roles.From an IR standpoint, DXD recently expanded its team, bringing in professionals with strong relationship instincts and private equity backgrounds. Drew underscores that while industry knowledge can be taught, trust and human connection are what open doors. Their tech stack, including Juniper Square and HubSpot, helps them manage investor communication and track data, but Drew admits the most effective outreach still comes down to “hand-to-hand combat.”Tired of chasing outdated leads?

Baruch Hashem, it was a beautiful Pesach holiday filled with a lot of great quality family time, cooking, decluttering, all the things we talk about on here and now it feels good to be back to the podcast!Coming off of Pesach, we just spend time looking inward, thinking about the excess chametz we want to get rid of in our own lives, the fluff that gets in the way of who we really are, what things maybe we want to free ourselves from and be free to do.

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: My husband and I started the adoption process a few months ago and we just matched with an expectant mom. We are obviously excited, but we also know that a lot can happen or change between now and her due date. My question is two fold. (1) Although a lot of people in our life know we are going through the adoption process, who should we tell beyond our immediate families? (2) I am a small business owner. Since we are adopting a baby from another state, I am expecting to be out for at least a couple of weeks and then back at work on a limited schedule as my husband and I share caretaking duties. Internally, my team is already aware and on board with when this will happen, and they will handle client requests on my behalf while I am out. But at what point is it appropriate to share with my clients that this change is taking place? Resources:Failed Adoption Matches: How Common? How Costly?

Over the weekend, we learned that electronic items will be exempt from tariffs only to find out a day later that isn't permanent. It was great news for tech investors for a few hours. Now, we understand Trump is putting tariffs on semiconductors, which will include electronic  products like phones. Pharmaceuticals will have tariffs soon as well. Senator Elizabeth Warren says Trump is playing a game of “Red-light, Green light” with the economy. Major investors are calling the back and forth disruptive. Internally, GOP members are having more trouble with the president's policies. CBS iHeart television and radio political analyst Gary Dietrich will stop by the show to talk about that and more.The Mark Thompson Show 3/14/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

Welcome to Day 2600 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2600 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 55:20-23 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2600 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2600 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget, I'll guide you on this trek through God's Word, exploring truths that can transform our lives, one step at a time. Thank you for joining me today as we conclude our thoughtful journey through Psalm 55. Today, we're focusing on the closing verses—Psalm 55:20-23. Throughout this Psalm, we've seen David pour out his heart in deep anguish over betrayal, yet he continually turns his eyes toward God, reaffirming his trust. These final verses bring clarity to the nature of David's pain, highlight God's justice, and encourage us toward authentic trust, even when life feels confusing and painful. Let's read Psalm 55:20-23 from the New Living Translation together: 20 As for my companion, he betrayed his friends; he broke his promises. 21 His words are as smooth as butter, but in his heart is war. His words are as soothing as lotion, but underneath are daggers! 22 Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. 23 But you, O God, will send the wicked down to the pit of destruction. Murderers and liars will die young, but I am trusting you to save me. The Pain of Personal Betrayal (Verses 20-21) David begins this final portion by vividly describing the nature of his deep emotional pain: “As for my companion, he betrayed his friends; he broke his promises. His words are as smooth as butter, but in his heart is war. His words are as soothing as lotion, but underneath are daggers!” In these verses, David pinpoints the source of his distress: betrayal by someone close—a trusted companion. It's essential to recognize the intensity here. David isn't simply troubled by enemy armies or hostile nations. Instead, the most profound pain comes from within his own circle, from someone he had fully trusted. In ancient Israelite culture, friendship was sacred. Covenants, promises, and trust formed the very fabric of relationships, binding families, tribes, and communities. To betray those bonds wasn't just hurtful—it was deeply shameful, destructive, and dishonorable. David emphasizes this betrayal vividly: “His words are smooth as butter, but in his heart is war.” Externally, this person appeared loyal, kind, supportive—even comforting. Internally, however, he harbored destructive intent, ready to strike at the first opportunity. David uses another striking image: “His words are as soothing as lotion, but underneath are daggers!” Outward charm masks inward deceit, making the betrayal especially painful. Historically, scholars often associate Psalm 55 with Ahithophel's betrayal. Ahithophel was David's wise counselor, highly respected and trusted. But when David's son Absalom rebelled, Ahithophel switched allegiance. This personal betrayal deeply wounded David, prompting this painful,...
