Sorare is based in Paris, and a huge portion of its managers are French — which means that if you want to win in Ligue 1 in-season competitions, you've got to beat the home crowd at their own game. In this live stream, I'll break down why I'm going in on Ligue 1 cards, the strategies I'm using to take on Sorare's French user base, and how I'm building lineups to go toe-to-toe with some of the toughest competition on the platform.

This week, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter venture down a sweeter path on The Bourbon Road podcast for a truly decadent and educational experience. They are joined by a very special guest, Nicole Patel, the founder and master chocolatier of the Austin-based Delysia Chocolatier. In a fascinating twist, Nicole reveals that her journey to becoming a chocolatier began after earning a master's degree in engineering. She discusses how her engineering mindset and a challenge to conquer the particular science of chocolate making—from tempering to managing temperature and humidity—led her to create her business. Throughout the episode, Nicole guides Jim and Todd through a blind tasting, pairing a variety of spirits with selections from her "History of Chocolate" tasting set without any advance knowledge of the whiskeys. She provides expert instruction on the proper way to experience the pairings: first tasting the bourbon, then letting a piece of chocolate melt on the tongue to appreciate its individual flavors, and finally, combining the two to see how they interact and transform one another. The result is an exploration of complementary and contrasting flavors that will inspire listeners to host their own tasting parties. The pairings on this episode include: Round 1: Jim's Blanton's Single Barrel, with its traditional caramel and baking spice notes, is paired with Delysia's Spiced Ganache truffle. Todd's seven-year Old Fitzgerald wheated bourbon, featuring cherry and honey notes, is matched with a Chipotle Orange truffle made with unique ruby chocolate. Round 2: Jim brings out a Weller 12 Year, noted for its cherry and oak profile, which he and Todd both pair with the complex Mexican Mole truffle, containing a blend of eight peppers and six spices. Todd also tastes his Old Grand-Dad Bottled-in-Bond, with its characteristic peanut note, against the spicy chocolate. Round 3: The hosts throw some curveballs. Jim pours a Michter's Barrel Strength Bourbon, featuring dark fruit and caramel notes, which Nicole pairs with the Apple Pie truffle. Todd selects a Laird's Apple Brandy, which is also expertly paired with the Apple Pie truffle, with its notes of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and tart green apple. Round 4: For the final tasting, Jim enjoys an Angel's Envy Cask Strength finished in tawny port barrels, bringing savory, dark grape notes. This is paired with the White Peach Balsamic white chocolate truffle. Todd concludes with a peaty Ardbeg Corryvreckan scotch, which Nicole matches with a simple yet elegant Smoked Cacao truffle, made with 85% bittersweet chocolate and salt smoked in a Texas barbecue pit. Join the roadies for an episode that proves there are no wrong answers in pairing, only delicious experiments. Learn about the anatomy of a truffle, the art of flavor creation, and why bourbon and chocolate are a match made in heaven.

Lisa Laird is CIO at Mercy Investment Services in St. Louis. She has previously held senior strategist roles as well as other healthcare leadership roles, and currently holds a number of additional board roles. Our conversation starts with her dream to become a ballet dancer, and how this ultimately required a serious pivot, and we then hear about a series of financial services roles that ultimately culminated in her current CIO role for a religious institution. Having not had many guests with this connection on our podcast before it was interesting to dig into some of the unique characteristics of this type of role, which in Lisa's case includes a commitment to impactful investments. We discuss the definition of impact in this case, and how it is implemented and complementary to some of the charity and philanthropic work done by this institution. Finally we reflect on the importance of kindness and how it can be a touchstone through one's career and life. Thank you to GCM Grosvenor and Resolute Investment Managers, Inc. for sponsoring Series 3 of 2025. GCM Grosvenor is a global alternative asset management firm with a longstanding commitment to supporting small, emerging, and diverse investment managers.

Jonathan Booth, Chartered Financial Analyst and CPA accredited in business valuation, joins Discover Lafayette to share his remarkable journey from being a young boy of 11 years of age falling in love with stock investments to CEO and Managing Partner of Booth Laird Capital Management, a boutique investment firm based in Lafayette. “My uncle would buy me stock in McDonald's…that was my birthday and Christmas present every year from all the family members instead of toys.” Jonathan's early exposure to investing—paired with a deep appreciation for Warren Buffett's philosophy of buying undervalued companies with strong fundamentals—set the tone for a career defined by rigorous analysis and long-term strategy. He emphasizes patience and discipline, especially in volatile markets: "I loved it. My uncle and I would go over the earnings releases. By the time I was in high school, I was managing my own portfolio of stocks. When I was 19, he took me to the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, Warren Buffett's company. They call that the Woodstock for capitalists. It's a chance to listen to Warren Buffett talk for six hours. I didn't know what to expect, but you just sit there and listen to the Oracle of Omaha, as they call him, spew wisdom." A passionate and disciplined financial strategist, Jonathan also serves on the board of FlyGuys, the Lafayette-based drone data company in which Kevin O'Leary of Shark Tank fame recently invested $3 million in a $13 million Series A-1 funding round and led the round; O'Leary's Wonder Fund investment will accelerate software innovation, expand global reach, and strengthen the commercial drone workforce. Quote from Kevin O'Leary on LinkedIn: "Big news. I recently led a $13 million Series A-1 round through the Wonder Fund North Dakota. The investment went into a company that's redefining how the physical world feeds the AI economy.Meet FlyGuys — a national network of over 16,000 FAA-certified drone pilots powering the capture and delivery of reality data at scale. From thermal roof scans to solar inspections, agriculture, and infrastructure, they handle it all. FlyGuys is the connective tissue between AI platforms and the physical world.I backed this team because their software is built to scale, their operations are rooted in service and precision, and their impact is real. AI platforms depend on clean, reliable inputs, and FlyGuys delivers exactly that. They're not just serving today's use cases, they're building global infrastructure for tomorrow's AI economy, while creating new income opportunities for drone pilots around the world. Data is the new oil. AI can't function without it. FlyGuys is building the pipeline." A native of Baton Rouge, and graduate of Catholic High and LSU, Jonathan originally pursued accounting. "I got a scholarship from the College of Business, and I chose accounting because I already did it. After my first semester, my professor hired me to work at his private accounting practice because I did pretty well in the class. And so I just kept getting pulled along into accounting and got my bachelor's and master's in accounting. Jonathan's performance earned him a rare honor: “I passed the CPA exam in 2006 with one of the ten highest scores in the world, known as the Elijah Watt Sells Award.” He also passed all three levels of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exam (a minimum of three years of exams) on his first attempt. While working at Ernst & Young, Jonathan maintained his passion for investing, ultimately founding Booth Laird Capital Management. Alongside his partner Kevin Laird, Jonathan focuses on concentrated investment strategies, targeting exceptional businesses and waiting for undervaluation. “We call them compounding machines,” he explained. "The term 'hedge fund' scares a lot of people, but it's truly just the way the fund is structured. It allows us the ability and freedom to invest more as we see fit.

The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2025/07/binary-system-podcast-467-station-eleven-and-star-trek-lower-decks/The Station Eleven episode we recap this week is number 7, "Goodbye My Damaged Home", and oh boy. If you're watching this show then you know why this one just knocked our socks off. (And if you're not, well, you really should, what are you waiting for?) We finally get the backstory for why Kirsten and Jeevan left Chicago, and why Frank wasn't with them when they left, and it's all kinds of beautiful and tragic, with stunningly good choices for the music, and brilliant cinematography, and young Kirsten's cardboard costumes are perfect and that is not up for debate.It's an episode that chooses a slightly different format for what would usually be a typical flashback story. So it's fitting that we follow it up with the Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 premiere, which takes a go-to template for a Star Trek story - the crew members meet the alternate reality versions of themselves - and then does something juuust slightly different with it.This week's outro is a clip from Yet Another Level by TeknoAXE.Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?

In today's episode of Sorare with Laird, I'm joined by Harry Trades to break down one of the biggest decisions Sorare managers face: should you focus on All Star competitions or Arena? We compare the pros and cons of each mode, how rewards differ, lineup-building strategies, and which competitions make the most sense depending on your gallery. Whether you're chasing podiums or optimizing your ROI, this conversation will help you decide where to focus your efforts in Sorare 26.This episode is sponsored by MFL, the Metaverse Football League.

The first Sorare 26 gameweek is here — and now the waiting begins. In this live stream, I break down how I:• Approached lineup building across all competitions• What new cards I added (and why)• How I thought about sealing and collections, and the trade-offs I had to make. I'll also talk through what I think I got right, what I might regret, and how this first week could shape my Sorare 26 season.

Margaret Laird's life was extraordinary in so many ways. She was born in 1897 in Denver, Colorado. She grew up in a large family, went to college and became a dental radiologist. Though a church goer all her life, it was in college that Margaret first heard the Gospel and received Jesus as her Lord. Put off at first by the idea of leaving America as a missionary, she was nevertheless compelled to yield her whole life to whatever plans God had for her. Yielding to God became the slogan of her life. She went to the Central Republic of Africa in 1924 and spent the next forty years ministering, loving, and sharing the Gospel with the Banda people.

Sorare is a Resource Allocation Game — and we're diving deep into what that really means with Harry Trades. In this episode, we explore the most important decisions every Sorare manager faces:• Where should you spend your budget?• How much is too much?• Can you force your competition to overspend?We'll break down strategies around market dynamics, value hunting, lineup optimization, and how to think like a long-term winner in a game where every coin — and card — counts.Whether you're building in Limiteds, Rares, Super Rares or Uniques, understanding resource allocation is key to success in Sorare.

Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker and author Neil Laird joins the pod. For a brutally honest, time-bending conversation about truth, and mythology. Finding the stories that shape us. After producing over 1,000 hours of ancient history shows. For networks like BBC, PBS, and History Channel. Neil has written the "Prime Time Travelers book series." Satirical, time-travel fiction that skewers everything from fake TV drama. To how badly we rewrite history, especially around same-sex love.We talked about Egypt, Pompeii, sloths, grizzlies, germs, queerness, and conspiracy theories. Also, what happens when we start mistaking content for truth. If you've ever wondered what a gay Indiana Jones with a film crew would look like, this is your episode.Where to Find the Guest?

In this episode of The Environmental Justice Lab, Dr. Lesley Joseph sits down with public health expert Dr. Diana Hernández of Columbia University and sociologist Dr. Jennifer Laird of Lehman College to talk about their new book, Powerless: The People's Struggle for Energy.More than 1 in 4 U.S. households struggle to afford their utility bills, with many facing shutoffs, debt, and the constant stress of choosing between heating and food, or cooling and rent. Powerless brings this hidden crisis into the light, exposing how energy insecurity is not just a personal hardship but a systemic failure rooted in race, class, housing, and policy.In this episode, Drs. Hernández and Laird reveal:⚡ Why low-income and marginalized communities are disproportionately energy insecure

This episode originally broadcast on July 17, 2025. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2025/07/binary-system-podcast-466-station-eleven-lower-decks-superman-and-the-spectacular-failure-of-the-star-wars-hotel/It's a bonus-sized (and spoileriffic!) episode this week because we've got a lot to go over. Another episode of Station Eleven of course, with gorgeous cinematography, excellent music, and a lot of questions: are the child-bombing psychos from the Museum, the Prophet, or the Red Bandanas? (Or all three, we have no idea who's side anybody is on.) Does the Conductor have cancer, because in TV land bald = cancer but we know in the real world bald = chemotherapy and there's probably not a lot of chemo in the apocalypse. And finally, Alex, come on, we know you're up to something, please don't be evil?Next up on the season 4 finale of Lower Decks, remember last week where we wondered if one storyline was a very deep pull from Star Trek the Next Generation? Turns out yes it was a very deep pull from Star Trek the Next Generation. One that, at the time, made us feel really bad so it's no surprise we squashed the memory. But this episode makes up for a lot of that.And after that, surprise of all surprises, Elizabeth went to see the new Superman movie while it was still in the theater. Short version: she really liked it, though it wasn't quite as good as that trailer we loved. But that's an awfully high bar to hit. However Nathan Fillion is all kinds of awesome, the end.And finally, Kathryn watched the first hour of the Hugo-nominated "The Spectacular Failure of the Star Wars Hotel." Turns out there are many things to love about Disney's short-lived luxury LARPing experience, but they've got an emergency plan that we DO NOT LIKE, and could possibly be illegal, but Disney gonna Disney.This week's outro is a clip from House Banger Music by YuraSoop.Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?

Margaret Laird's life was extraordinary in so many ways. She was born in 1897 in Denver, Colorado. She grew up in a large family, went to college and became a dental radiologist. Though a church goer all her life, it was in college that Margaret first heard the Gospel and received Jesus as her Lord. Put off at first by the idea of leaving America as a missionary, she was nevertheless compelled to yield her whole life to whatever plans God had for her. Yielding to God became the slogan of her life. She went to the Central Republic of Africa in 1924 and spent the next forty years ministering, loving, and sharing the Gospel with the Banda people.

The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2025/07/binary-system-podcast-465-station-eleven-star-trek-lower-decks-and-picard/First up this week we start with a spoileriffic recap of the Station Eleven bottle episode “The Severn City Airport,” where we find out how the Prophet became so intensely creepy, tho we're still not sure how he ended up with The Book.Then we jump to an equally spoileriffic recap of the second-to-last episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4, where we get a little more info about the mystery ship that's abducting people, and the reason why Mariner's had a frikking death wish for the last few episodes. (We think there may be a pretty deep pull there, but of course we haven't looked it up. Feel free to yell at us in the comments!)Finally, Elizabeth has a brief (and slightly spoileriffic, natch) look at the final episode of Picard. TL:DR, it's fine? Very nostalgic and fun, but the fact that it took her literally months to watch the whole season is not a good sign.Plus some random tangents into stupid influencers, post-apocalyptic supermarket looting, and bad wigs.This week's outro is a clip from Liberation by Pamela Yuen.Correction: friends of the podcast Hannah and Nathan have both pointed out Miranda gave Arthur a second copy of the book and that's how Tyler got one. Somehow we both completely forgot that happened.Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person? Want to buy them (or yourself) a square foot of a castle in Scotland? Look no further!

Episode 328 features my longtime friend and bandmate Matt Harris, aka the Big Laird. We wanted to do a little recap episode of this weekend's Part-Time Rockstar Fest — the 5th annual — at Fish Head Cantina. We talked about how it went, what went well, what we could improve on, and stuff like that. And talk a little bit about the bands that played. It was definitely a fun year, and I really appreciate everyone who came out/helped out. A good time was had by all I do believe. For the regular listeners, I should mention that I play in the Big Laird Band as well as The Hollow Truths. The Laird Band normally does cover shows, but we've been writing more originals lately, so we touched on that a bit in the conversation. This weekend, July 5th, the Big Laird Band will be on the road, heading down to Charlottesville, VA — or more specifically, Crozet, VA — to play at PRN Brewing, which is a great live music venue and brewery down there. The Big Laird Band will also be releasing new music soon, as soon as we can figure out how to pay for it. Thanks for listening and for supporting local music!   Please rate/follow the show wherever you're streaming.  -- Part-Time Rockstar Productions is available in the DMV for music videos and live filming.
