Story of the Week (DR):War against women continues: Uber Not Responsible for Sex Assault, Jury Finds, as More Cases FollowEthan P. Schulman, the judge presiding over the California state court cases, told jurors that Uber would be responsible for the woman's harm if the company was negligent in using adequate safety measures and the negligence was a “substantial factor” in causing the harm.In its decision, the jury unanimously agreed that Uber had been negligent in its general safety practices when the incident occurred in 2016 — but that the negligence was not a substantial factor in causing the attack. The jury's foreman: “We felt that they could have done more back in the early days of Uber, rather than just focusing on growth,”Meet Lisa Monaco, the 57-year-old Microsoft executive Trump wants fired“Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged Lisa Monaco (A purported pawn of Legal Lightweight Andrew Weissmann), was a senior National Security aide under Barack Hussein Obama. Monaco has been shockingly hired as the President of Global Affairs for Microsoft, in a very senior role with access to Highly Sensitive Information. Monaco's having that kind of access is unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to stand.”Monaco helped coordinate the Justice Department's response to the Jan. 6th attacks on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters in 2021. In January 2022, Monaco publicly announced that the Justice Department was investigating the Trump fake electors plotMilitary women fear losing 'every bit of ground' as Hegseth looks backward to the 1990sDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that he wants to review Defense Department standards that have changed since the 1990s, a time when military women saw far less support for their service and met drastically lower physical standards than today: "The 1990s test is simple. What were the military standards in 1990? And if they have changed, tell me why. Was it necessary change based on the evolving landscape of combat? Or was the change due to a softening, weakening, or gender-based pursuit of other priorities? 1990s seems to be as good a place to start as any."PGA of America CEO apologizes for Ryder Cup missteps, but group's president denies problemThe Misogynistic Abuse Towards Rory McIlroy's Wife at the Ryder Cup Is Deeper Than Golf. It shows a cultural shift, one in which men feel emboldened to attack women in public without shame or consequence. The abuse and taunts were so unrelenting that Stoll was spotted with “tears streaming down her face”PGA of America President Don Rea took a different approach on Sunday in a BBC interview where he downplayed the severity of the crowd's behavior: “Well, you have 50,000 people there that are really excited, and heck, you can go to a youth soccer game and get some people who say the wrong things,” Rea said. When asked about the abuse directed at McIlroy, he responded, “I haven't heard some of that. I'm sure it's happened … Rory understands things like that are going to happen.”Fake billionaire manbaby “retirements” continue DRSpotify CEO Daniel Ek to Step Down.

Side note: Apollo's fun joke was to have a “sustainability committee” on the board they take so seriously, it's the committee with 3 women and and anti-woke anti-ESG ex-Senator Patrick Toomey

Investors' exuberance is fueling this year's stock rally, but will key economic risks dampen the market's mood? The current bull run has lifted stocks from their springtime lows to higher levels in autumn. The artificial intelligence boom is one of the big factors driving it. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is dealing with the challenging situation of balancing the weakening job market and stubborn inflation. The Fed cut interest rates for the first time in 2025 in the third quarter, but the path forward from here is less certain. Morningstar Inc Senior Markets Reporter Sarah Hansen discusses seven key market factors you should watch in Q4 2025.Nvidia's investment of up to $100 billion in ChatGPT creator OpenAI could shatter records. The big bet is helping feed two simple narratives about the AI era, according to Dan Kemp, chief research and investment officer at Morningstar Investment Management Europe. First, there's too much investment in the technology, and booms tend to lead to busts. Second, AI has changed the rules of investing and returns. Kemp cautions investors to remember that there are a wide range of possible outcomes than these easy stories.  On this episode:You examine the highs and lows during each quarter and write about it. What do you think are the biggest takeaways from Q3? Stocks are climbing higher despite a lot of risks. What signals is the market ignoring, and could it be at its own peril? The AI boom is driving what's going on in the market. Mega-cap tech companies are making huge investments. Where's the money going, and how long is this level of spending expected to continue? The hot IPO market has benefited from AI. Some of the most successful IPOs this year involved the industry. Can you describe this revival? The first interest rate cut of 2025 is in the books. The Federal Reserve pointed to the softening job market as one reason for the move. What are strategists telling you as the markets await the Fed's next move? Inflation is still not tamed and hovering above the Fed's 2% target. There are expectations that tariffs could raise prices for a while. What are the outlooks from Morningstar and other strategists? As the Fed cuts rates, short-term yields will come down. What about the rest of the bond market? Where do people see the risks? The federal funding fight is continuing in Washington, D.C. Let's timestamp this moment. It's Tuesday, Sept. 30. The US government would shut down on Oct. 1 if there's not an agreement. How does uncertainty like this affect the markets, and what should investors think? Earnings season is coming up in a couple weeks. What is your team watching for? What's the takeaway for investors as we enter Q4?We talked on last week's Investing Insights about inflation. The Federal Reserve's preferred tracker showed inflation slightly ticked up in August as forecasters expected. It also revealed consumer spending rose. What do you think that's signaling about the US economy? In this week's Markets Brief column, you highlighted Nvidia's potentially record-breaking investment. The chipmaker announced it would invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI. How should investors think about this deal?New economic data is due out this week.

Rent the Runway is one of those ideas you should have thought of first. But while the concept seems like a slam dunk — an infinite closet of outfits for customers who want to wear it once — the road was extremely bumpy for co-founder and CEO Jennifer Hyman.  The challenges were epic. A global pandemic, which could have been an existential event. An IPO pop which disappeared almost overnight, precipitating a credit crisis. A crossroads when she had drifted away from day-to-day and her father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Even coming to terms with something as fundamental as understanding the company's DNA. "Now, millions of women are renting clothes, whereas there were zero women renting clothes when I had this vision in 2008,” Hyman told me for This is Working. "I believe in this more ever."

The IPO market may be slowing down, but the discipline of operating like a public company has never been more important. In this episode, CJ is joined by Chad Gold, CFO of FullStory and veteran operator with previous stints at G2, SalesLoft, and Rubicon, to discuss how capital markets and financing strategies are shifting in real time. Chad explains why more companies are staying private longer, how the rise of private credit is changing the CFO toolkit, and why building IPO-ready discipline matters even if you never go public. The conversation also dives into one of his specialties—pricing models and sales incentives—covering how seat-based, usage, and blended structures influence rep behavior, comp plans, and long-term revenue quality, as well as how the wrong incentives can quietly derail a business. Finally, Chad reflects on lessons from his early career at Home Depot and how fundamentals from retail operations still inform his instincts in SaaS today.—LINKS: Chad Gold on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chadgold/Fullstory: https://www.fullstory.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222 Mostly metrics: https://www.mostlymetrics.comRELATED EPISODES:G2 CFO Chad Gold on Building A Durable Career as a Venture Backed Exec:Big Systems Thinking for Building a Finance Org: Advice From a Zoom Hypergrowth Survivor:—TIMESTAMPS:(02:14) Sponsors – Mercury | RightRev | Tipalti(06:10) What's New at FullStory(09:22) Hypotheses, Data, and Unlocking Use Cases(10:13) Early CFO Career and the Evolution of Data(11:09) From Deterministic Models to Analytics-Driven Forecasting(12:17) Cohorts, Segmentation, and Revenue Quality(13:17) Why Companies Stay Private Longer(15:28) Sponsors – Aleph | Rillet | Fidelity P.S.(19:01) Capital Flows Into Hot Sectors Like AI and Cybersecurity(20:20) More Companies Going Private Than Public(21:41) Costs and Tradeoffs of Being Public(22:46) Secondary Markets and Access to Top Companies(24:14) Staying Private Longer and CFO Planning(25:29) Keeping the Org Exit-Ready(26:10) The Rise of Private Credit(27:37) Banks vs. Venture Debt After SVB(30:47) Pricing Models Across Chad's CFO Roles(35:47) How to Incentivize Sales Reps Across Pricing Models(43:26) Lessons From Home Depot + Lightning Round—SPONSORS:Mercury is business banking built for builders, giving founders and finance pros a financial stack that actually works together.

In today's episode, we chat with Sean Wade, CEO of Power Metal Resources, and Ian Freeman, CEO of Minestarters. Sean has been on the show before, and Power Metal has been building momentum with its diverse portfolio and project incubator model. Ian joins us for the first time to introduce Minestarters, a new platform bringing blockchain and tokenisation into the world of mining finance. In this conversation, we'll cover the progress Power Metal has made since Sean was last on the podcast, Ian's journey to founding Minestarters, and how the platform is opening up new opportunities for project funding. We'll also discuss the challenges with traditional mining finance, how this partnership complements Power Metal's strategy, and what both companies have planned for the months ahead. KEY TAKEAWAYS Traditional mining finance is often constrained by a scarcity of capital, high costs, and long lock-up periods for investors, which has hindered the ability of junior miners to get projects funded. MineStarters is a fintech business that uses blockchain and tokenisation to create a decentralised finance (DeFi) network, connecting early-stage mining projects to global capital pools, allowing for 24/7 trading and liquidity. Power Metals' strategy is to continue its project incubator model—finding, developing, and crystalising assets—but with the added fintech dimension of MineStarters The partnership is highly synergistic: Power Metals will invest up to £3 million for up to a 49% equity stake in MineStarters, which will generate revenue through deal and platform fees BEST MOMENTS "The world we've been in and are in is is is tough. It's it's reduced very, very substantially. What this is going to do is going to take our model, existing model, and it's going to develop it further." "What tokenisation allows, through this distributed, um, so decentralised finance network that's enabled by the blockchain, it allows us to take this on-chain capital and bridge to the off-chain real-world asset."

We break down how the government shutdown could impact everything from the IPO pipeline to home sales. Plus, the important difference between 2013 and 2018 when it comes to returns.

In 2008, Beth Gaspich stood on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, ringing the bell as RiskMetrics went public. What made the moment extraordinary was its timing—amid one of the most volatile markets in decades. The IPO decision, she tells us, came “down to the wire.” After months of preparing the S-1, long roadshows, and weekend work with auditors, leadership had to choose: delay indefinitely or seize a fleeting opening. They chose action, and the listing became a defining milestone in her career.That experience shaped her conviction that preparation and clear communication are indispensable when markets are uncertain. It also foreshadowed the way she would later lead NICE through its own transformation. When she became CFO in 2016, NICE was largely an on-premise software company with roughly $1 billion in revenue. Today, she tells us, the firm is approaching $3 billion, with $2.2 billion in cloud revenue. “We don't put boxes around people,” she notes, describing a culture where finance leaders are expected to help drive strategy, not just report results.Her approach to AI investment echoes that belief. She explains that NICE's AI and self-service ARR reached $238 million, growing 42% year-over-year. Rather than measure ROI only through headcount reduction, she emphasizes redeploying people to more strategic work. Internally, AI “champions” in each function track outcomes with KPIs. From ringing the NYSE bell to scaling a global AI platform, Gaspich's journey illustrates how finance leaders can balance precision with boldness when transformation is on the line.

John Jannarone discusses crypto and blockchain stocks and the Circle (CRCL) IPO, which saw strong gains after its debut, and Figma (FIG), which has fallen. He highlights the “extremely hot” IPO market and Fermi, Neptune (NP), and other companies going public. He also discusses how the government shutdown affects the ability of companies to file with the SEC.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Serial entrepreneur Michael Heltzen, CEO of Exozymes, reveals how his NASDAQ-listed company is "liberating enzymes from cells" to create a new generation of chemical manufacturing. Instead of using living cells as factories, Exozymes isolates enzymatic pathways to work as pure chemistry—achieving engineering-level control previously deemed impossible in conventional synthetic biology. Michael discusses Exozymes' AI-powered enzyme evolution, six-week development timelines, bold IPO strategy during biotech's funding winter, and applications in pharmaceuticals like NCT for liver disease. This is synthetic biology's next chapter: sustainable, scalable enzyme-based manufacturing that could replace both petrochemicals and natural harvesting.

Welcome back to another EUVC Podcast, where we gather Europe's venture family to share the stories, insights, and lessons that drive our ecosystem forward.Today, we dive into the announcement of Ventech's Fund VI, which has closed at €175M — the firm's largest fund yet, with an impressive 95% LP re-up rate. To unpack it all, Andreas Munk Holm sits down with Stephan Wirries, General Partner at Ventech. From AI and industrial software to European sovereignty and late-stage capital markets, Stephan shares how Ventech is positioning itself for the next decade — and why Europe still has structural gaps to fix if it wants to scale globally.

Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss the 2025 MassBio Industry Snapshot  — an annual report tracking employment trends, investment, real estate, and pipeline activity across the life sciences ecosystem.With talent displacement, funding cuts, and lab vacancies reshaping the landscape, the conversation zeroes in on how biopharma companies should rethink efficiency. Instead of defaulting to layoffs and budget slashing, Lawrence and Oscar explore how operational clarity, thoughtful prioritization, and workflow discipline can unlock more resilient organizations.Key topics include:What efficiency actually means in a biopharma context (hint: it's not just spending less)How real estate patterns reveal deeper shifts in R&D prioritiesThe ripple effects of NIH cuts and disappearing IPOs on the innovation pipelineWhy “free agent” scientists might drive the next wave of value creationStrategic considerations for biopharma teams navigating funding volatilityWhether you're an operator, executive, or early-career scientist, this episode offers a grounded yet hopeful take on where the industry is headed — and how to adapt.

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度，雪球，国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台，聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫中国股市的质量革命与分化时代。来自革命的老农。传统牛市的典型特征是板块轮动和普惠式上涨，好公司与平庸公司之间的界限模糊，市场信奉的是“风来了猪都会飞”。这种行情本质上是流动性驱动的投机盛宴，而非价值发现的价值盛宴。其结果是牛短熊长，市场难以形成真正的财富效应。而已经到来的中国版超级长牛市，其核心驱动力已经发生根本性转变。注册制的全面实施重构了市场供需关系，上市公司不再具有天然的稀缺性溢价。随着中国经济增长模式从高速增长转向高质量发展，资本市场也在经历同样的范式转换。机构投资者占比提升、价值投资理念普及、监管体系完善，这些结构性变化共同指向一个结果：市场资源配置效率将大幅提升。在这场质量革命中，资本市场将呈现出前所未有的极端分化。真正具备扎实增长逻辑的公司——那些在科技创新、产业升级、消费变革中拥有核心竞争力和护城河的企业，将迎来估值与业绩的戴维斯双击。它们可能分布在高端制造、新能源、生物医药、人工智能等代表新质生产力的领域。这些企业的股价翻几十倍并非天方夜谭，而是对其持续创造价值的合理回报。与之形成鲜明对比的是，缺乏真实业绩支撑的概念股将陷入“昙花一现”的困境。游资和庄家可能还会利用市场情绪进行短期暴力拉升，但随着炒作资金撤离，这些股票将回归其本来价值，甚至因为市场关注度下降而陷入流动性困境。更为严峻的是，那些业绩毫无改善希望的上市公司将面临边缘化命运。在退市制度日益完善的市场环境下，这些“僵尸企业”将难以通过壳资源炒作苟延残喘。它们可能被迫退出市场舞台。这种优胜劣汰不是市场的冷酷，而是资源配置优化的必然要求。这种极端分化背后，是资本市场定价功能回归正常的体现。当股价变动真正反映企业内在价值的变化，资本市场才能有效发挥其作为经济晴雨表的功能。对投资者而言，这意味着投资逻辑的根本转变：从追逐热点、听信消息的投机思维，转向深度研究、价值发现的投资思维。机构投资者将在这场变革中扮演越来越重要的角色。随着养老金、保险资金等长期资本加大入市力度，市场稳定性将增强，价值投资理念将进一步扎根。监管层在这一过程中需要保持定力，继续完善市场基础制度，强化信息披露要求，严厉打击违法违规行为，为市场健康发展营造良好环境。同时，也需要引导投资者理性看待市场分化，认识到这是市场成熟的必然过程。这种分化不是市场的分裂，而是市场效率的提升。站在超级长牛市的起点，投资者需要清醒认识到：那些能够识别真正价值、陪伴优秀企业成长的投资者，将成为这场历史性牛市的最大受益者。中国资本市场正在经历从量变到质变的飞跃，这场质量革命将重塑中国资本市场的基因，也为理性投资者带来了前所未有的机遇。2024 年 9 月 24 日，A 股以一根标志性长阳线启动 "924 行情"，从 2730 点的低位起步，一年间指数已攀升至 三千八百多点，累计涨幅超 40%。与 2007 年、2015 年的全民狂欢不同，这轮行情从普涨初期快速切入结构性分化阶段，彻底颠覆了 "板块轮动、鸡犬升天" 的传统牛市逻辑。市场正在用极端分化的走势证明：中国资本市场已进入 "价值称重" 的新时代，扎实增长的优质标的与缺乏基本面支撑的概念炒作正在走向两条截然不同的命运轨迹。首先，此轮牛市逻辑是从 "普涨轮动" 到 "分化定价" 的底层变革。回顾 A 股历史，过往牛市始终难逃 "政策驱动到资金涌入再到全面炒作最后到泡沫破裂" 的循环。2007 年股权分置改革催生的牛市中，云南铜业等周期股涨幅近 50 倍；2015 年杠杆资金推动下，"互联网 +" 概念炒作让教育题材股身价暴涨 10 倍，最终却跌回原点。这种普涨轮动模式的核心在于市场生态的不成熟：散户交易量占比超 60% 的投资者结构，配合宽松的退市机制与监管环境，使得资金更倾向于追逐短期价差而非长期价值。2024 年开启的这轮行情，在多重因素共振下完成了逻辑重构。从资金端看，A 股机构投资者持股市值占比已升至 22.2%，其中公募基金被动管理规模首次超过主动管理，达到 3.2 万亿元。机构投资者主导的市场中，资金流向不再跟随情绪波动，而是聚焦于业绩确定性 ——2025 年四次单日成交额突破 3 万亿元的交易日中，资金全部集中于硬科技与高景气赛道，传统蓝筹与题材股持续失血。注册制的全面落地则从制度层面切断了 "壳价值" 炒作的根基。当前头部 20 家券商占据 80% 以上的 IPO 市场份额，优质创新企业快速上市的同时，退市机制也在持续发力。2024 年以来，证监会已查处 64 家退市公司违法行为，合计罚款 12 亿元彰显了 "退市不免责" 的监管刚性。进退有序的市场生态中，资金自然向优质资产聚集，分化成为必然。而在这轮牛市的分化行情下，股市会呈现三种不同的分化图景：优质股、概念股与垃圾股的命运分野。当前市场的极端分化已呈现清晰的三层图景，不同标的的估值逻辑与价格轨迹差异显著，印证了 "价值决定长期走势" 的核心规律。真正具备扎实增长逻辑的企业正在开启长期牛市。从行情数据看，硬科技含量越高的指数表现越突出，远超大盘平均水平。这些板块中的龙头企业凭借技术壁垒与行业景气度实现了业绩与股价的 "戴维斯双击"，如新易盛2024年净利润同比增速更是高达 312.26%，2025 年半年报利润再次同比增长355.68%，股价随之持续创新高。这类企业的上涨并非短期炒作，而是基于产业周期的价值重估。纯概念炒作的股票则陷入 "暴涨暴跌" 的宿命循环。2025 年上半年，受英伟达股价上涨外溢效应影响，A 股部分沾边 AI 概念的 "伪科技股" 被游资短期暴力拉升，当英伟达股价滞涨后，这些概念股快速回落，部分跌幅超 50%，较最高点缩水近七成，重现了 2015 年题材股的崩盘轨迹。这种 "脉冲式行情" 背后，是散户追涨杀跌与游资短期操纵的合谋，但在以价值投资理念主导的市场中，此类标的终将回归其真实价值。无增长前景的企业正加速被市场边缘化。随着退市制度的 "长牙带刺"，业绩空心化的公司不仅面临估值持续下行，更可能走向退市结局，这些缺乏增长动能的标的正逐步沦为 "仙股"，流动性持续萎缩，最终将被市场彻底淘汰。因此，我们这些投资者在分化牛市的生存法则应该要从 "交易思维" 到 "配置思维" 的转型。市场逻辑的重构必然要求投资者范式的升级。在 2024 年以来的行情中，多数投资者利润集中于初期普涨阶段，而在结构性分化的第二阶段却普遍跑输指数，根源在于仍固守 "追热点、炒概念" 的传统思维。适应分化时代的牛市，投资者需要建立以价值为核心的投资框架。锚定高景气赛道的核心资产是穿越分化的关键。从产业趋势看，AI 算力、创新药、半导体、新能源等国家战略支持领域，不仅政策红利持续释放，更具备清晰的业绩增长路径。宁德时代 2024 年储能电池销量增长 34%，净利润达 507 亿元；中微半导凭借车规级芯片突破实现扭亏为盈，这类企业的长期投资价值已被市场反复验证。首先，我们应该警惕概念炒作的 "甜蜜陷阱" 需要建立估值安全边际意识。历史数据显示，2015 年牛市中 60% 的散户因追高题材股亏损超 40%；2024 年四季度，部分投资者在概念炒作末期入场，同样遭遇 50% 以上的跌幅。判断标的真伪的核心在于穿透概念看盈利：是否具备核心技术、是否有稳定订单、是否能实现现金流匹配，这些基本面指标远比题材故事更重要。其次，投资者要建立长期配置思维方，这样能抵御短期波动。美股 2025 年的分化行情提供了镜鉴：标普 500 指数看似平淡，但高景气板块龙头仍实现显著收益，而依赖短期炒作的标的则跌幅惨重。A 股的分化趋势同样不可逆，真正的优质企业可能在一年间实现翻倍涨幅，也可能经历短期 20% 以上的回调，但长期来看，扎实的业绩增长终将推动股价持续上行。正如几只从底部翻了N倍的牛股基本上就是配置在AI算力、创新药、半导体等高景气行业的细分龙头，各个股票也都处于业绩倍增或业绩断层式增长的拐点处，长线投资价值非常可观。只有投资者摒弃 "做波段、赚快钱" 的浮躁心态，以产业视角做长期布局，才能获得丰厚的长牛收益。做个总结，分化是市场成熟的必经之路。2024 年开启的这轮中国版超级长牛市，本质上是中国资本市场从 "规模扩张" 向 "质量提升" 转型的必然产物。以价值投资理念为主的机构投资者占比的提升、注册制的深化、监管体系的完善，共同推动市场从 "资金驱动" 转向 "价值驱动"，这种变革虽然带来了短期的赚钱难度提升，却为长期健康发展奠定了基础。对于投资者而言，适应分化、拥抱价值，方能在这场重构的牛市中实现可持续的财富增长。这不是牛市的终结，而是更成熟牛市的开始。

Our watches gave us some harsh (but necessary) feedback before this amazing episode! The main science topics were quick hitter studies on massive one-time Vitamin D intake, short-term heat acclimation protocols, and sodium bicarb. If you combine all of the protocols at once, that's what we call a PARTY.We also talked about the World Trail Champs, which saw the highest-scored performances of all time. Our discussion included a hot take on course choices that is probably wrong and please don't tell anyone we said it. And this one was full of great topics! Other topics: the total domination of the sleepwithmegan25 code, training readiness scores in a time of teething, our reactions to comments on the documentary “Nothing to Lose,” why Nomio is the supplement sweeping Europe, the improbable win at the women's cycling World Champs, and Strava's IPO announcement, plus a Q+A on the high-carb life, the mountain legs strength routine, long-term heat training, time equivalents for cross training, training principles for less fast runners, and self-talk.Yes, David brutally mangled a 50 Cent reference, proceeding to call back the mistaken reference multiple times.

Not every launch succeeds on day one, but the brands that endure find ways to win over time.That's why we're turning to Clue, the 1985 murder mystery comedy with three different endings. Despite bombing at the box office, it grew into a beloved cult classic. In this episode, we break down its lessons with the help of special guest Christine Royston, Chief Marketing Officer at Wrike.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from building strategy before execution, balancing brand and demand, and embracing word-of-mouth to turn audiences into passionate advocates.About our guest, Christine RoystonChristine Royston is a visionary global marketing executive with a proven track record of scaling iconic technology brands, architecting go-to-market transformation, and driving category leadership in the enterprise SaaS space. As Chief Marketing Officer at Wrike, Christine leads the company's worldwide marketing strategy, fueling enterprise growth, brand acceleration, and customer-centric innovation at scale.With more than 20 years of experience across global B2B markets, Christine has built and led high-performing teams at some of the world's most recognized technology companies—including Salesforce, Dropbox, and Imperva—where she helped pioneer marketing strategies during moments of hypergrowth and IPO. She most recently served as Global Head of B2B Marketing at Udemy and as Vice President of Marketing at Bitly, where she was instrumental in repositioning both brands for business adoption and long-term growth.Christine's executive leadership spans Sales-Led and Product-Led Growth (PLG) models, across direct sales, freemium, and self-service go-to-market motions. Her ability to unify global teams, expand into new international markets, and launch cross-functional marketing engines has positioned her as a sought-after leader in growth-stage transformation and scaled enterprise performance.An expert in enterprise marketing strategy, customer lifecycle innovation, and multi-channel demand generation, Christine has driven business results across cloud computing, cybersecurity, financial services, and manufacturing verticals. She is also known for her passion for mentoring future marketing leaders and building diverse, inclusive, and impact-driven teams.Christine holds a B.A. from the University of Virginia and an International MBA in Global Marketing from the University of South Carolina's Darla Moore School of Business. She brings a global lens to every challenge, with leadership experience spanning the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Latin America.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Clue:Strategy matters more than star power. Even the best team can't save a weak story. Clue had an all-star cast, but without a clear throughline, it flopped at the box office. Christine draws a parallel to marketing: “Even if you have the best team in the world, without a great strategy, you're not gonna win. You've got to have a really fantastic strategy and a really great team to back it up, so that you can kind of play on everybody's strengths, but you're all pointed in the right direction.” Don't confuse talent or resources with strategy. Success comes from aligning everyone around a clear, shared story.Balance is everything. Clue was billed as both a mystery and a comedy, but leaned heavily into the silliness, confusing audiences who expected a tighter whodunit. Christine sees the same trap in B2B: “The movie was… touted as a mystery and a comedy, but it was definitely way more on the comedy side. And so thinking about that balance… and making sure that you're really being clear with your intent of messaging, your intent of the brand.” Great marketing requires a balance between brand, demand, clarity, and creativity. Overweighting one side leaves your audience uncertain about what you really stand for.Word of mouth is your secret weapon. Despite its failure in theaters, Clue became a cult classic through community and conversation. For Christine, that's a marketing playbook: “The fact that it did become this cult classic highlights the importance of word of mouth. How do you make sure you're getting in front of people who will be interested in your product, or interested in your movie, and making sure that you're leveraging communities [and] social as a way to get in front of people who maybe aren't going to go to the box office.” Buzz builds longevity. Beyond paid campaigns, you need advocates, communities, and conversations that keep your brand alive long after launch.Quote“ How do you differentiate yourself and do something a little different. Bring some humor into what is normally a pretty straight-laced B2B technology type of industry. I think people like a little fun in their day-to-day.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Christine Royston, Chief Marketing Officer at Wrike[01:01] Why Clue?[01:24] The Role of CMO at Wrike[03:05] The Origins of Clue, The Movie[14:04] B2B Marketing Lessons from Clue[28:10] Balancing Brand vs. Demand[29:50] Wrike's Brand and Content Strategy[33:21] AI's Role in Modern Marketing[35:11] Wrike's Survey on AI's Impact[40:20] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Christine on LinkedInLearn more about WrikeAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Our CEO Megan Bowen was a guest on Charles Gaudet's Predictable Profits podcast to talk about the outdated funnel and how to market in the AI era. From Predictable Profits: "If you're still trying to grow your business with traditional funnels and wondering why your capture, create, convert demand strategy isn't working, you're about to discover why those old-school tactics are completely dead. In this episode, I sit down with one of the very few people who actually gets it – Megan Bowen – and we dive deep into the evolution of buyer behavior from the analog buying era all the way through to where we are now in the AI era. We explore why 96% of the buying process now happens before prospects ever talk to your sales team, and Megan breaks down her game-changing framework that's helping B2B companies completely rethink how they approach demand generation. Trust me, you're going to want to have a pen and paper handy for this one because we're going beyond the surface-level funnel nonsense that everyone else is teaching.My guest today is Megan Bowen, CEO of Refine Labs, and she's someone I have tremendous respect for because she actually eats her own pudding. With over 20 years of experience building and scaling go-to-market teams across B2B industries – including companies that achieved IPOs and acquisitions – Megan co-founded Refine Labs in 2020 with a mission to completely change how B2B companies approach their go-to-market strategies. What I love about Megan is that her leadership philosophy isn't some theoretical framework from a business book – it's rooted in real-world experience as an individual contributor, people manager, and executive leader. She understands that without customers, you don't have a business, and she's laser-focused on creating the conditions for long-term relationships and meaningful results.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Volume-based funnel marketing fails because high-intent leads convert at 25% while low-intent leads convert at less than 1%Use “split the funnel analysis” to show the dramatic difference between lead quality and stop wasting budget on low-intent leadsBy 2030, nearly 100% of buying decisions happen before sales calls, making self-service information criticalPut pricing, social proof, and competitive advantages directly on your website to eliminate buyer frictionBrand marketing gets you into buyers' “day one consideration set” before they start searching for solutionsDark social is the invisible 6-12 month buying cycle where prospects research before visiting your websiteCreate content that actually solves buyer problems rather than just promoting your servicesTalk to your customers regularly to understand their evolving needs and grow beyond seven figures Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be.

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度，雪球，国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台，聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫长钱入市，谈理性投资、长期投资与价值投资。来自博实。证监会主席吴清9月22日，在国新办举行的“高质量完成‘十四五'规划”系列主题新闻发布会上表示，这5年上市公司通过分红、回购派发“红包”合计10.6万亿元，相当于同期股票IPO和再融资金额的2.07倍。对长期资金引导上也有如下的举措：公募基金持有A股流通市值未来三年每年至少增长10%。对商业保险资金，力争大型国有保险公司从2025年起每年新增保费的30%用于投资A股，这也意味着将每年至少为A股新增几千亿的长期资金。公募基金、国有商业保险公司、基本养老保险基金、年金基金等都要全面建立实施三年以上长周期考核，大幅降低国有商业保险公司当年度经营指标考核权重，细化明确全国社保基金五年以上长周期考核安排。那么这么长钱入市会给各个基金公司以及普通投资者带来什么影响呢？首先，长钱入市可以获得分红，而分红为入市基金和上市公司股东创造实际利益，有助于上市公司长期发展。对于基金公司来说，他们获得分红的方式在于基金配置的资产是上市公司，而分红型基金配置的是分红比较高的上市公司，能够拿到这么多分红就和上市公司能保证稳定持续的分红密不可分了。而对于股东来说，以我过往对价值投资的研究，公司为股东创造回报的方式主要是三种。第一种就是分红，这个最直接，把利润的一部分拿出来分给大家，比如茅台就提到拿出70%的利润来分红。第二种不那么直观，就是回购，比如腾讯过去几年一直维持500-1000亿的回购规模。第三种，肯定很多人会说应该是买卖股票低买高卖吧。实际上不是，第三种是企业把利润再投资，实现更高的资本回报率，就是看重公司如果不分红，能不能实现比如20%甚至30%的投资回报率。当然，前提是公司以后愿意通过分红和回购把这些利润增长分给我们。但是近些年，的确不是每个行业都能实现很高的投资回报率，甚至投入以后不一定能有利润。所以这时候把以前已经既有的优势业务赚取的利润分红，本就是一种更符合这个阶段经济特征的方式。从理性的角度看，没有好的投资项目，分红不就是最好的方式么。从长期的角度看，公司在经营不需要那么多资金的时候回报股东，那么在以后需要资金的时候，股东对公司不分红甚至继续融资的容忍度会变高，股东会更加支持公司的长远发展。反过来，如果有些公司不仅盈利的时候不分红和回购，甚至还把多余的现金转移到其他地方去，不提升股东回报，也不提升公司竞争力，这样的公司如果真的出问题的时候股东对他的容忍度会变得很低，甚至有可能产生舆论风波。其次，长钱入市这个事，可能从全局来看，养老金、社保、保险等资金入市规模很大。但是对我们这些个体来说，可能体感不那么强烈。但我们可以找一找和大家息息相关的好处和价值。前段时间公募基金对费率的改革，而改革的关键就是给投资者赚的钱更多，费率就更高，赚的更少费率就更低。实际上就是把收益率和费率绑定，这就是对长期收益的考核标准的的体现，也是与普通基金投资者最相关的标准。从公私募基金的内部来说，在这样的大的方针指导下，考核机制也会有一定的调整。从我们普通投资者的角度来观察，未来长期业绩好的基金经历会越来越多。而只考虑以日，周，月业绩为重点的先完成业绩再说的基金经理，会慢慢偏向于长期价值投资。但是如果考核周期变了，比如银行、证券渠道对一个客户3年5年资产规模有没有持续扩大，你的客户数量和客户质量是不是一直在显著提升，其实很多做事的方法和观念就可以改变。对基金经理也是一样。最早基金经理甚至基金公司为了生存，有时候是没办法必须要做热门行业和主题，因为在面对巨大的规模压力甚至是生存压力的时候，这也是没办法。但是，随着整个行业一定发展到一定规模和阶段，考核方式，把考核相对时间放的更长一些，可能更有利于这家公司和基金经理长期取得更大的管理规模。最后，我们再来聊一下长钱入市与普通人，尤其是价值投资者之间的关系。短期来说，普通投资者可能只是能感觉到股票的分红变多了。或者是分红类的基金比以前分红收益更好了。但是，从长期的体验可能是。能给你提供长期收益越来越高的基金产品或基金经理越来越多了。持有宽基或者一些指数基金的体验越来越好了。甚至给你服务的银行、证券、投顾这些客户经理，给你推荐的产品更注重长期收益了，你的长期投资体验也更好了。从股票投资者，尤其是价值投资者的角度来说，我认为未来优质的投资机会将会越来越多。第一，注册制会让更多的企业能够上市。第二，对各种违规行为的打击，会让企业更专注于经营好自己的业务。第三，长期资金入市、对理性投资长期投资和价值投资更全面的引导，有助于参与市场的各方能够理性、长期的看到市场，从而有可能降低市场周期波动的幅度，让市场运行更加平稳，上市公司的价值能够更加有效的凸显。从直观的理解上来说，就是你发现一个好公司，并且在具有安全边际的低估价格买入以后，可能不用等很多年才能涨上去了。那时候你要愁的，可能不是市场给你回报的时间为什么那么长，那时候你发现难度变成了怎么找到更低估的机会。所以，从2025年回看，2022年，2018年，2015年，2013年，2011年，市场参与者自然的发展规律也是越来越理性，越来越长期，越来越看重价值的。因此作为我们投资者来说，发现公司的价值变成了重中之重。要重视长期投资而非简单的短期炒作。

The copper placement we did in July with Rick Rule and Jeff Phillips is already up 200% (with warrants to buy more). The uranium development deal we did last month is up 345% (with warrants to buy more). This week, we'll help finance a brand new gold development and exploration company that has a head-start thanks to an existing high-grade gold resource at its flagship property in the Yukon. We are participating in the IPO round this week. Learn more about Private Placement Intel here: https://bit.ly/4876ZAVThe free version of the 335th episode of Investing in Bizarro World is now published.Here's what was covered:Macro Musings - Gold and silver keep breaking higher. Silver blew through $45 and is setting up for a run to $48 and new all-time highs. Gold pushed past $3,750 and looks ready to challenge $3,800 on the way to $4,000–$5,000. Both metals have tailwinds from Fed rate cuts, strong economic growth, and continued central bank buying. Meanwhile, the dollar is firming and bond yields are ticking higher. That points to rising risks—including black swan military chatter out of Washington—but gold and silver don't seem to care.Market Takes - Copper grabbed headlines after a tragic accident at Freeport's Grasberg mine cut production. That mine represents about 3% of global output, and the disruption could tip this year's market into deficit. Copper prices jumped, and Ivanhoe Mines has already rallied 25% since July as investors repositioned into names with growth ahead. Craig Perry of Vizsla Copper has even argued that $30–$35 copper is possible down the line. Nick and Gerardo don't need that to make money — $7–$8 copper in the next year is more than enough. Lithium Americas soared 125% this week after the Trump administration said it may take a 10% stake in the company's Nevada project. That followed a $2.3 billion government loan under Biden and highlights a trend of resource nationalism across lithium, antimony, rare earths, and more. Uranium also broke out, hitting $82 per pound. The URA ETF is up 50% in just six weeks. Major producers like Cameco and Kazatomprom have guided down, while U.S. policy is moving to expand the strategic uranium reserve. Small explorers are doubling with little news as utilities prepare to contract supply.Bizarro Banter - Politics again proved bizarre. Trump's subsidies to farmers were called what they are—welfare—despite the loud denials of those who voted for him. His second term is shaping up much like his first: weaker dollar, more debt, more war, and broken promises. Meanwhile, the Epstein scandal continues without closure for victims, even as culture-war distractions dominate headlines. Gerardo and Nick reminded listeners to keep pressure on real issues of accountability.Premium Portfolio Picks - For paid listeners only.
