Avec un marché multiplié par cinq en 40 ans, c'est la viande désormais la plus populaire à travers le monde : la volaille et son produit phare, le poulet. Les enseignes de restauration rapide qui lui sont exclusivement consacrées sont d'ailleurs en train de se multiplier en France, où la consommation a progressé de 25% depuis 2020, mais aussi en Afrique. Un succès qui pourrait encore prendre de l'ampleur dans les prochaines années. Master Poulet, Tasty Crousty... Ces fast-food 100% poulet éclosent à toute vitesse en France, donnant même des sueurs froides au géant américain du secteur, KFC. Leur recette est simple : des plats vendus à des prix quasi imbattables. La cuise à 2,50 euros, le demi-poulet à 4 euros... Résultat, « 37% de la consommation de volaille se fait désormais en restauration en France contre 8% il y a 20 ans », explique Yan Nédélec, directeur de l'ANVOL, l'interprofession de la volaille de chair. Une croissance qui ne bénéficie pas aux producteurs français  Ce sont la Belgique, les Pays-Bas et surtout la Pologne qui se taillent la part du lion. En quatre ans, les exportations polonaises en direction de la France ont ainsi doublé, à 320 000 tonnes, suivant le développement de ces nouvelles enseignes. « Le secteur de la volaille polonaise est très compétitif avec des grandes exploitations et des coûts du travail réduits », explique Jean-Paul Simier, expert de la filière viande et co-auteur du rapport Cyclope sur les matières premières.  Mais si le poulet polonais ou belge servi dans les nouveaux fast-food fait parfois grincer des dents, les prix pourraient être encore plus bas s'ils étaient brésiliens ou thaïlandais. Or, le marché européen reste protégé par des normes et droits de douane importants, à l'abri donc des gallinacés low-cost qui se déversent sur le reste de la planète. La production de volaille en recherche constante de débouchés En 2025, 154 millions de tonnes de viande de volaille ont été produites, en augmentation de 15% en cinq ans. Un record alimenté par un mastodonte mondial, le Brésil, qui concentre un quart des exportations. Et de nouveaux champions se dressent sur leurs ergots comme la Thaïlande, quatrième exportateur mondial, ou encore l'Ukraine qui, malgré quatre années de guerre, reste sixième.  Cette production en pleine croissance doit trouver ses consommateurs. À défaut de pouvoir entrer en Europe, l'un des débouchés les plus convoités de ces exportateurs est donc désormais l'Afrique : les éleveurs locaux sont globalement peu protégés commercialement et la demande est forte. Les nouveaux champions français du fast-poulet ne s'y sont d'ailleurs pas trompés : une franchise Tasty Crousty vient ainsi d'ouvrir à Abidjan, en Côte d'Ivoire.

In the season finale of Joyful Rebellion, STEAM Box and the Highlander Charter School STEAM Punks are joined by Abby Katz, a behavioral science researcher from Brown University's School of Public Health. We're ending the season sitting pretty at #1 in the world in education and technology as we go deep into the emotional, biological, and cultural connections we have to our most comforting meals, from Jollof rice and KFC to Hot Pockets and McDonald's. Abby Katz breaks down the science of why our bodies crave heavily engineered, salty, and sweet foods, and discusses the importance of moderation without labeling foods as strictly "good" or "bad".The conversation expands into the cultural histories that shape our diets, the reality of "food swamps" in lower-income areas, and tips for finding healthier options by shopping the perimeter of the grocery store. Beyond food, the group tackles the value of higher education, how PhD programs are funded, and the evolving job market in the age of AI.

Au Vietnam, une nouvelle réalité inquiète les autorités publiques. Réputée pour son alimentation saine et équilibrée, la gastronomie vietnamienne fait désormais face à de nouvelles habitudes. Aujourd'hui, environ 20 % de la population est en situation de surpoids ou d'obésité. Selon l'Organisation mondiale de la santé, le pays connaît l'une des progressions les plus rapides d'Asie du Sud-Est. De notre correspondant à Hanoï, Sur les trottoirs de la capitale, ces jeunes dégustent des cafés au lait concentré, à la crème salée ou au jaune d'œuf. Une seule boisson peut contenir l'équivalent de la dose journalière de sucre recommandée par l'OMS. Dans ce café branché d'Hanoï, une jeune vendeuse explique la préparation de ses boissons. « La quantité de sucre varie, il y a environ entre 35 et 50 g de sirop, ce qui correspond à environ 20 à 30 g de sucre raffiné pour une portion de boisson de 350 à 500 ml. Les jeunes Vietnamiens aujourd'hui aiment manger sucré, oui, confirme-t-elle. Ils aiment la restauration rapide et boire des boissons qui contiennent beaucoup de sucre. » McDonald's, KFC ou Lotteria : depuis les années 1990 et l'ouverture économique du pays sur le monde, les chaînes de fast-food n'ont cessé de se développer, modifiant progressivement les habitudes de consommation. À Hanoï, dans certains quartiers, jusqu'à 40 % des jeunes seraient en situation de surpoids ou d'obésité. Les villes sont les plus exposées à cette hausse, explique Alice Nguyên, diététicienne. « Il y a beaucoup de nouvelles tendances alimentaires qui arrivent. Par exemple, les boissons et la nourriture, il y a beaucoup de publicités autour de ces produits, souligne-t-elle. La plupart des gens ne sont pas vraiment conscients de comment un apport excessif en calories peut avoir un impact sur le taux d'obésité. » À lire aussiComprendre d'où tu viens pour savoir qui je suis Les jeunes en première ligne Selon elle, les jeunes sont en première ligne face au phénomène. Le gouvernement a récemment annoncé la mise en place de mesures dans les écoles, avec un meilleur encadrement des repas et des actions de sensibilisation auprès des élèves. « Je pense que la génération plus âgée au Vietnam est celle qui consomme le plus de nourriture “réelle”, des aliments non transformés, plutôt que les jeunes », poursuit la diététicienne. Chaque jour, Hoa prépare des petits plats à base de tofu, de sauce de poisson ou encore de légumes frais du marché. Les mains sur la cuisinière, cette soixantenaire remue dans une poêle des champignons et du bœuf, en expliquant ses recettes favorites. « C'est les crevettes sautées avec du porc, sans utiliser beaucoup d'huile, et les plats sont très légers, tout en étant nutritifs, souligne-t-elle. Par exemple, le tofu frit avec des oignons, ou encore du poulet bouilli, dont le bouillon peut être utilisé pour cuisiner la courge. » Pour encourager la consommation de produits plus sains, les autorités vietnamiennes multiplient les mesures. Depuis 2026, l'étiquetage nutritionnel plus détaillé est devenu obligatoire sur les produits alimentaires. Le pays doit progressivement faire entrer en vigueur une taxe sur les boissons sucrées.  À écouter dans Le goût du mondeLe secret des Vietnamiennes

Fuhrman Left His Mark on Media

The New York Times‘ obituary (5/18/26) for former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman quotes him saying that “policemen never get the benefit of the doubt.” The racism of Mark Fuhrman, the Los Angeles police detective whose involvement in the O.J. Simpson murder investigation helped sink the prosecution's case, was so well-known comedian Dana Carvey once mocked him with a Nazi salute, calling him “Mark the Fuhrer-man.” Fuhrman's death this month (New York Times, 5/18/26) took middle-aged and older Americans back to 1995, when the televised trial of Simpson, accused of murdering his ex-wife and her friend, dominated media for much of the year. During the trial, audio recordings and witness testimony revealed Fuhrman's use of the n-word and other racist views, sinking his credibility as the cop responsible for recovering the “bloody glove,” the key piece of evidence tying Simpson to the killings. Because he had previously testified that he never used the word, it opened an opportunity for the defense to suggest he wasn't honest about other things—and had a motivation to frame a Black celebrity. Unrelenting racism In July 2017, CNN‘s Kyra Phillips played new excerpts from the Fuhrman tapes. The tapes portrayed hours of unrelenting racism. “All these n*****s in L.A. city government…all of them should be lined up against a wall and fucking shot,” he said. And often sexism as well: “What if I’ve just been raped by two buck n*****s, and a female shows up?” During the trial, witness Kathleen Bell testified that Fuhrman had said, “If I had my way, all the n*****s would be gathered together and burned.” Bell told the court, “When he sees a Black man with a white woman driving in a car, he pulls them over,” with no traffic violation needed (Washington Post, 9/5/95). Fuhrman became the national representation of the American racist cop. He invoked the Fifth Amendment when questioned about his handling of evidence (LA Times, 9/7/95), offering the shadow of a doubt the jury needed to acquit the former football and movie star. In his fiery closing argument, defense attorney Johnnie Cochran characterized Fuhrman as “this perjurer, this racist, this genocidal racist.” Fuhrman pleaded no contest to a perjury charge a year later (CNN, 10/2/96). But there was something bigger about Fuhrman, and it's something we can deeply feel in the media environment today. ‘Unwitting catalyst’ Mark Fuhrman interviewed in ESPN‘s OJ: Made in America (2016). The legal “dream team” Simpson assembled certainly focused on pushing the jury for an acquittal—that's a defense lawyer's job. But as outlined in both the dramatized The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story on FX and ESPN's OJ: Made in America, defense lead Cochran also built a larger case for a larger audience. (Side note: FAIR's Janine Jackson briefly appears in the ESPN documentary in a segment about media coverage of the trial.) Nicole Brown Simpson was killed at her Los Angeles home, along with Ron Goldman, on June 12, 1994, just two years after the city was engulfed in racial rioting as a result of an acquittal of police officers who had been videotaped brutally beating a Black man, Rodney King. For much of America, the rioting was a dividing moment. Civil rights activists saw it as the explosion of a powder keg under pressure of decades of tension between LA's Black community and the cops. A great deal of white America saw the rioting as an inexplicable overreaction. Press voices had their doubts too. Newsweek (5/10/92) called the looting “a manic fiesta, a TV game show with every looter a winner.” Cochran set out to change the narrative, to demonstrate to the white public that Black Los Angeles has systemically suffered from racist policing. Ben Ehrenreich (Guardian, 4/22/20): “The thousands of African Americans who migrated to Los Angeles from the Jim Crow south had found similar cruel realities awaiting them.” In Set the Night on Fire, Mike Davis and Jon Weiner outline the ongoing war against the Black community by LA cops in the 1960s, erupting in the 1965 Watts riots. From the Guardian‘s review (4/22/20): LA's police make dramatic appearances in almost every chapter, clubbing peaceful protesters, brutalizing activists and killing so many Black men, and with such absolute impunity, that Davis and Wiener's claim that “the Manson gang were bit players compared to the forces of law and order” ends up feeling more than fair. In the authors' telling, the wanton violence of the police acted as a consistent if unwitting catalyst to historical change: It was the chaos that followed a ferocious LAPD assault on anti-war protesters that added to Lyndon Johnson's decision not to run for re-election in 1968, and the LAPD's murder of a Black Muslim named Ronald Stokes—seven other Muslims were shot in the same incident—that pushed Malcolm X towards a broader vision of Black liberation. The shared experience of LAPD violence, Davis and Wiener write, forged a “common culture of resistance” among Black and Chicano youth, white hipsters and anti-war activists, and the city's gay community. This situation hardly improved with the economic turmoil of the 1970s, or the reactionary retreat of the 1980s. For many Black Angelenos, the 1992 riots weren't about one videotape, but about this entire history. Cochran had an opportunity to reveal the situation in the early ’90s to America. And with Fuhrman, who was called by the prosecution to bring the bloody glove into evidence, Cochran was able to show a feverishly racist man at the center of this investigation. ‘Kill somebody and go have some chicken’ Sean Hannity (Hannity, 1/10/23) interviewing Pam Bondi (then a former Florida attorney general) and Mark Fuhrman. In the end, Simpson was acquitted, and Fuhrman became a symbol of a divided America. It’s quite telling that the disgraced cop later found a landing place on Fox News. The Murdoch media empire created the news network the year after the Simpson trial as the antithesis to what it claimed was a liberal slant in corporate television news. Bringing on Fuhrman as a recurring guest—and, later, giving him his own show on Fox Nation—didn’t just promote his own public rehabilitation, it foretold a shift in “acceptable” discourse on right-wing TV. Fox‘s Greta van Susteren (5/19/05) defended having him on as a frequent guest: Mark happens to be a very, very, very smart detective—one of the best I have ever worked with and I have worked with many. He really thinks about the investigations we book him on the show to discuss. But Fox was attracted to Fuhrman not by his smarts, but by his hate. The racism that spilled out in the Simpson trial—Fuhrman's animosity toward the people who he was sworn to protect and serve—catered directly to the Fox audience. Another Fox star that routinely showcased Fuhrman was Sean Hannity (Extra!, 9/13). On Hannity & Colmes (11/16/06; cited by Media Matters, 11/20/06), Fuhrman asserted that the the type of “people” he “dealt with … for 20 years” will kill somebody and go have some chicken at KFC. You will catch them eating chicken and drinking a beer after they just murdered three people. He added that “these people are out there. They’re all over the place.” In another appearance, Hannity (Hannity, 7/16/13) brought the ex-cop on to speculate on whether Black people would riot if George Zimmerman were found not guilty of murdering an unarmed Trayvon Martin in Florida. “Mark, it seems to me like it's going to be a dangerous scenario for the cities where this is going to occur,” said Hannity. Fuhrman replied, “I think you're right, Sean,” and proceeded to fantasize about protesters “assaulting people, assaulting officers, so when you cross that line, it's pretty obvious, and, you know, this is completely drawn on racial lines now.” ‘They just take more and more’ “You can always find something that doesn’t look like justice was served one way or another,” Mark Fuhrman tells Megyn Kelly (and right-wing novelist Brad Thor) on Fox‘s Kelly File (7/8/16). Fuhrman had nothing but contempt for the Black Lives Matter movement erupting in Ferguson, Missouri. He told Fox News' Megyn Kelly (8/10/15): Stopping traffic is not a lawful demonstration. Stopping pedestrians is not a lawful demonstration.  Stopping regular traffic on sidewalks in front of buildings. That is not lawful demonstrations. And they should enforce it. And you know, when you allow some kind of, you know, leeway, they just take more and more. And now we have people that are not on the city council and they’re not on the police department, no matter how represented the Black community is. They are not there. You’re dealing with gang members and street drug dealers that are just hanging out. They’re armed and they’re taking advantage of a hesitant police department. How did Fuhrman respond to a video of “a white school police officer in a Columbia [South Carolina] classroom grabbing an African-American student by the neck, flipping her backward as she sat at her desk, then dragging and throwing her across the floor” (New York Times, 10/26/15)? He made the officer a saint on Fox. Media Matters (10/27/15) quoted Fuhrman: He requested her. He verbally did that. The next level is he put a hand on her. She escalated it from there. He used soft control. He threw her on the ground, he handcuffed her. He didn’t use mace. He didn’t use a Taser. He didn’t use a stick. He didn’t kick her. He didn’t hit her. He didn’t choke her. He used a minimal amount of force necessary to effect an arrest. In 2019, he attacked Democratic presidential hopefuls for their police reform rhetoric on the Ingraham Angle (8/2/19), saying those politicians were looking to win “that 18-to-25-year-old base that is involved in all these movements—these anti-government, anti-establishment, anti-republic, anti-Trump” movements. He eventually was given his own show on Fox News spinoff Fox Nation, the Fuhrman Diaries, which ran from 2018 to 2022. (Fox promoted him as “America's most controversial detective”—LA Times, 11/29/18.) ‘Total reputational annihilation’ Just because someone lied under oath about using racial slurs dozens of times doesn’t mean they should be canceled (Wall Street Journal, 5/20/26)—and by “canceled,” we mean given their own TV show. People can and do change over time. Fuhrman gave a somewhat nuanced view on Fox News (Ingraham Angle, 5/29/20) about the police killing of George Floyd, which resulted in widespread political unrest. He called Floyd's killing “a slow-motion homicide,” and said the video footage was “a slow and really painful thing to watch of somebody grinding somebody’s face into the pavement until they’re dead.” At the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal, columnist Matthew Hennessey (5/20/26) christened Fuhrman a victim of cancel culture, admitting that he was a “bad cop,” but that he was among the first to suffer the total reputational annihilation that has become a hallmark of life in the digital era, where everything you say—or have ever said—will one day be used against you in the court of public opinion. It’s a strange sort of “reputational annihilation” that gets you regularly showcased on a national cable TV network, and then gives you your own show. Fuhrman’s afterlife as a commentator foretold a media conservatism that flips the narrative about racist policing on its head, where prejudice becomes a sign of expertise. It’s a legacy we live with today in MAGA America, even with Fuhrman having departed this world. Research assistance: Priyanka Bansal

In this episode, I chat to my 'graphic design daughter' Robin Son, a branding designer and podcast host who has built a thriving creative business in just three years without any formal training. Robin shares her incredible journey from working at KFC to launching her design career during maternity leave; all while sitting in the corner of her mum's kitchen during newborn nap times. We discuss the power of learning on the job, the efficiency of the "One Concept Method," and how Robin strategically used social media to grow an audience of over 100,000 followers. This episode is sponsored by Ivy Malik. Ivy has created a free training to help you understand how higher-paying clients actually think, behave and buy, so you can attract and sell to them more confidently. If you want sales to feel more natural (and less awkward), head to lizmosley.net/Ivy to watch the free training. Key Takeaways The Best Way to Learn is by Doing: Robin and Liz both agree that the fastest way to master complex tools like Adobe Illustrator or InDesign is to have a real client project with a deadline. Confidence Over Credentials: Despite being self-taught, Robin's willingness to say "yes" to projects and figure out the technical details later allowed her to scale quickly and attract international clients from day one. Maximize Your Content: Robin grew her following by repurposing single projects into multiple types of content, including mood boards, process reels, and logo suites. The Power of the One Concept Method: Presenting only the strongest design concept can save time and reinforce your authority as an expert. Episode Highlights 01:40 - Robin's backstory: From retail jobs to starting a design career during maternity leave 04:40 - The "fake it 'til you make it" approach to learning Adobe Illustrator 05:10 - Liz's first big project: Learning InDesign on the fly for a charity annual report 07:00 - Pricing and the panic of those first few $50 client projects 10:50 - Why Robin has used the "One Concept Method" since her very first client 14:50 - The strategy behind growing from 2k to 20k followers in just six weeks About the Guest Website: https://brandsbyrobin.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandsbyrobin/ Robin's podcast: https://podfollow.com/creativeconfessions   I would love to hear what you think of this episode, so please do let me know on Instagram where I'm @‌lizmmosley or @‌buildingyourbrandpodcast and I hope you enjoy the episode!

What started as a normal Friday episode quickly turned into one of the most emotionally unstable shows we've had in a while. Honestly, nobody was prepared for how hard the “saddest movie deaths ever” conversation was going to hit. One minute we're joking around about Pointfest and celebrity gossip… the next minute half the room is emotionally compromised over Artax from The NeverEnding Story slowly sinking into the Swamp of Sadness while childhood memories collapse in real time.This episode of The Rizzuto Show goes deep into the emotional destruction caused by movies like The Lion King, Big Fish, My Girl, The Green Mile, Logan, Forrest Gump, Titanic, Harry Potter, Inside Out, Fox and the Hound, Steel Magnolias, All Dogs Go To Heaven, and about 400 others because apparently everyone on this show carries unresolved cinematic trauma.Moon gets surprisingly philosophical. Rafe gets aggressively emotional about animated foxes. Lern somehow manages to make everybody sad repeatedly. Scott contributes exactly the kind of unhinged movie takes you'd expect from Scott. Meanwhile Riz attempts to hold the entire thing together while the conversation spirals into increasingly depressing territory.And somehow — somehow — we pivot from emotional movie deaths directly into celebrity gossip and fried chicken.Because that's radio, baby.We break down the bizarre report that Michael Jackson allegedly ate KFC for nearly every meal of his life.

In episode 357 of The Real Jason Duncan Podcast, most people spend their whole lives waiting for the "it factor" to show up — the natural talent, the X factor, the thing that separates the successful from the rest. Dr. Justin Moseley sat on the bench, panicked through a college speech class, and believed for decades that success was for other people. Then he figured out the lie — and built one of the largest natural health clinics in Tennessee, became a 2-time TEDx speaker, and launched a top-rated global podcast. Dr. Justin Moseley — chiropractor, entrepreneur, 2-time TEDx speaker, and host of The Mindset Doctor Podcast — is back for his second appearance on the show (originally Episode 9 under the former name The Root of All Success). Justin and his wife Courtney co-founded Music City Health Center, one of the largest natural health clinics in Tennessee, and Justin has since built a global platform helping high achievers strip away limiting beliefs and expand what they think is possible. Today, we're not covering his origin story — we're going deep on the golden cages, the lies he believed, and the mindset frameworks he used to break out of them. This episode dives into: 1.Why every kid on his team had more natural talent — and why he still outplayed them all 2.The earliest experience that anchored in the belief "speaking is not for you" — and how it followed him into adulthood 3.Why affirmations and meditation don't work for most people (and what's actually missing) 4.The difference between positive thinking and real mindset work — and why one is like pulling weeds and the other is just pretending they're not there 5.Dr. Joe Dispenza's research: 60,000 thoughts a day, 90% negative, and almost none of them conscious 6.Carol Dweck's mindset study and what happens when teachers believe kids are gifted — even when they're not 7.The thermostat analogy: how your internal set point keeps capping your income, success, and identity 8.Why changing your actions without changing your beliefs is the most common and most expensive mistake entrepreneurs make 9.The water bottle analogy: you can only hold what your mindset has room for 10.What Colonel Sanders starting KFC at 65 reveals about the self-imposed ceilings we never question 11.How Justin went from near-failing a speech class to speaking on TEDx stages — and the exact affirmation that started the shift 12.Why the most dangerous lies aren't hiding — they're dressed up as self-awareness and realism If you've ever told yourself "that's not for me" — this episode is the one that finally calls it what it is.

Host Janet Michael sits down with Captain Warren Gosnell ("Goz") from the Frederick County Sheriff's Office for another edition of Public Safety Thursday. The two kick off with some relatable chaos — a mic that wasn't turned on, a misplaced phone, spring allergies, and a hilarious on-the-way-in story involving blue lights and a very startled driver. Then they get into the real meat: why Frederick County is leaning into automated traffic enforcement, how LIDAR works, and why treating people with kindness — whether you're the officer or the driver — goes a long way. Spring Chaos & Getting Here Janet's mic was off at the top of the show (she was almost perfect) Goz's busy week: Apple Blossom Festival, a teaching trip to Roanoke, and a bout of bronchitis Spring means more people, more events, more traffic — and longer days on the cul-de-sac On the Way In Stories Goz grabbed KFC nuggets, then flashed his blue lights back at a driver who tried to warn him of a cop ahead Janet watched a car blow a red light right in front of her on Route 522 Is It Illegal to Flash Your High Beams? Letter of the law vs. spirit of the law Flashing lights on ordinary vehicles technically aren't permitted as signals The real goal: slow people down and keep roads safe Law enforcement doesn't mind if you warn others — if it prevents crashes, it's a win Automated Traffic Enforcement in Frederick County School zone speed cameras already in place Red light cameras under consideration at high-crash intersections Possible construction zone cameras on the horizon Why the shift? The county has grown to nearly 130,000 people across 416 square miles — not enough deputies for both calls for service AND proactive traffic enforcement How LIDAR Works Radar beams spread wide (thousands of feet); LIDAR beams stay under 6 inches at 1,000 feet LIDAR operates at the speed of light — vehicle-specific, no room for error Camera only activates if speed exceeds 10 mph over the limit No human bias, no "why didn't you stop that other car?" arguments Kindness on Both Sides of the Window Goz is large and loud — doesn't mean he's mean; body cam footage has cleared him more than once He now tells every driver: "I'm not yelling at you, I'm trying to be heard over traffic" Story of the Ohio driver who ran a red light and accused Goz of "ruining his perfect driving record" Goz's own history: multiple speeding tickets after moving back from Houston, where 75 mph was survival speed The Bottom Line Automated systems aren't replacing officers — they're filling gaps human hands can't cover Deterrence is the goal; if you follow the rules, cameras don't affect you "Safety over convenience."

Show Notes: Scarlett Jiang from Vantage AI, an AI product and services firm based in London,  provides a one-minute overview of Vantage AI, highlighting their focus on data foundations and AI transformation. Vantage AI helps companies consolidate data from various systems into a single source of truth. Scarlett mentions the firm's experience with hospitality franchise clients, such as Burger King, KFC, and McDonald's. Mock Demo of Chatbot Scarlett introduces a mock demo of a chatbot designed for hospitality franchise owners. The chatbot can handle real-time queries about sales data, labor costs, and other key metrics. Scarlett explains the process of using the chatbot to query data, including translating natural language questions into SQL, which means users do not need to know SQL.  Custom Dashboard Scarlett introduces the custom dashboard with data intelligence analyst chatbot functionality, allowing users to query via human natural language and retrieve insights from pre-ingested data warehouses.  Sales Performance The chatbot can provide summaries of sales performance, labor data, and other operational metrics. Sales Performance Rank Scarlett shows how the chatbot can handle more complex queries, e.g.: If I had to focus on 3 stores to improve performance this quarter, which would you recommend and why? (chatbot showcase the capability to synthesize sales, reviews, and trend data into  recommended action) Performance Graph The chatbot can provide detailed insights into top and bottom performers, including specific metrics like net sales and transaction counts. Scarlett discusses the benefits of using a chatbot for specific questions, rather than pre-built dashboards. The chatbot can also provide reasoning behind its answers, showing the steps it takes to generate insights. The Process of Building AI Tools Scarlett explains the process of building AI tools, starting with a diagnostic phase to understand the client's data journey and use cases. After the diagnostic, a strategic roadmap is created to prioritize use cases. A quick prototype is then developed, followed by data foundation transformation. The process can range from a few days to several months, depending on the complexity and scope of the project. Accounts Payable Month-end Reconciliation Demo Scarlett demonstrates a workflow automation tool for account payable month-end reconciliation.  Accounts Payable Reconciliation This demo presents a finance use case built around month-end accounts payable reconciliation - a process every finance team navigates. Supplier invoice data sits across two systems: the AP subledger, which holds granular invoice-level detail, and the general ledger control account, which carries a single summary balance that should match. In practice, the two rarely align - late-posted invoices and manual journal entries that bypass the subledger are the most common culprits. This demo showcases an AI agent that pulls data from both sources, identifies and reconciles the gap automatically; and surfaces discrepancies to human reviewers for sign-off or overwrite - eliminating hours of manual investigation at close. Converting PDF Purchase Orders into CSV Files Scarlett demonstrates a tool that converts PDF purchase orders into CSV files. Snowflake Tables The tool extracts key information from the PDF, such as contract terms, payment schedules, and expenditures.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including the latest earnings results from Chipotle, Starbucks, Taco Bell, Domino's, Chili's, and Wingstop. First up is Chipotle, which earned positive same-store sales (albeit ever so slightly) after a negative 2025. Even more noteworthy: a quarter of all transactions included a protein add-on. Sam and Alicia discuss the results and why Chipotle should be bullish on the rest of the year. Next up is Starbucks, which impressed with 7.1% same-store sales growth in the latest quarter. CEO Brian Niccol declared that the company was putting the “turn” in “turnaround,” as the results are the culmination of nearly two years' worth of changes that the coffee giant has made to get back to growth. Sam and Alicia dive into the results and how they set Starbucks up in the ever-crowded beverage category. They then speed through several other companies' results — including Chili's, Taco Bell, KFC, and Domino's — before jumping into a conversation on Wingstop, which disappointed with an 8.7% same-store sales decline. The company blamed the results on inclement weather events and a cautious consumer, but if that's the case, why are other chains turning out positive results? Sam and Alicia attempt to answer the question. Finally, in the Quick Fire portion of the episode, they tackle Papa Johns' new AI assistant, Subway's first-ever value menu, and Sweetgreen's familiar “Faces of the Farm” campaign.For more on these stories:Chipotle swings positive after a tough 2025Starbucks' sales improve in a 'milestone' quarterWingstop's Q1 hammered by weather, consumer pressures

Episode 2030: Kalen Bruce challenges the idea that business success inevitably leads to becoming an “evil corporation,” using Walmart and KFC to show how perception often shifts with scale rather than substance. He argues that growth, job creation, and competitive pricing are natural outcomes of capitalism, and that size alone doesn't determine ethics. The piece invites listeners to rethink their assumptions about supporting local versus large businesses and what “too successful” really means. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://moneyminiblog.com/popular/the-turning-point-mom-pop-shop-evil-corporation/ Quotes to ponder: "Businesses will grow and businesses will die. That's how capitalism works." "Don't pay twice the price by shopping at a local supermarket just to prove a point."

America's Rehab Scandal, with Shoshana Walter

Investigative reporter Shoshana Walter has spent a decade uncovering how America's $53 billion rehab industry exploits the people it claims to help. Her debut book, Rehab: An American Scandal, follows four people through a system of unpaid labour, unregulated programs, and treatment that fuels relapse. "Just because people aren't dying doesn't mean they're not still suffering, doesn't mean their families and communities aren't still suffering." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Walter reflects on the human cost of America's failed treatment system. Together they discuss court-ordered rehab as unpaid labour, the deadly paradox of thirty-day programs, faith-based facilities exempt from oversight, racial disparities in the opioid crisis, the treatment gap for mothers, and why recovery capital and low-barrier care offer a more promising path. Episode Highlights "If indentured labour could be considered a form of addiction treatment in the US today, then how common is that? What does the rest of our treatment landscape look like?" "Someone who goes to a thirty-day program and finishes it is much more likely to overdose and die in the year following treatment than someone who didn't complete that program at all." "Without that recovery capital, it's almost as much of an obstacle as the addiction itself." "Our treatment system is not serving the people the way that it should. And we could be helping people so much more than we actually are." "That exploitation is not transformative." About Shoshana Walter Shoshana Walter is an investigative reporter for The Marshall Project covering criminal justice, health care, and child welfare, and the author of Rehab: An American Scandal (Simon & Schuster, 2025).
