Enquanto o investidor tradicional de 2026 ainda enterra capital em hectares de terra sob o pretexto de possuir o "celeiro do mundo", Felipe Valer traz de 2040 o obituário do agronegócio analógico: o latifúndio morreu e a riqueza migrou para a precisão molecular. O alimento não viaja mais, ele é impresso. O alerta de Felipe Valer é explícito: continuar apostando em hectares estáticos expostos ao clima não é investimento, é uma contagem regressiva para a obsolescência biológica.

What if the business relationship that challenged you the most was also the one that taught you the most? In this episode, Latif Hamilton, CEO of SpiritHoods and founder of The Growth Operative, shares the story behind one of the most creative and resilient brands in fashion e-commerce. Over 16 years, SpiritHoods has generated more than $55 million in revenue, won multiple PETA Libby Awards, and built a cult following that includes artists like Doja Cat and Justin Bieber, all while donating 10% of net profits to animal conservation. This episode isn't just about building a brand. It's about what Latif learned when a complementary business partnership forced him to grow in directions he never would have chosen on his own. And it's about the hard-won lessons around inventory, cash flow, transparency, and the kind of character-driven business that earns customers for life.   [00:04:20] What He Does and Who He Serves CEO of SpiritHoods, a faux fur animal-inspired apparel brand, and founder of The Growth Operative consultancy The Growth Operative focuses on e-commerce companies in the $1 to $10 million revenue range Offers a mix of doing the work and educating clients; the goal is never to leave clients dependent Covers SEO, creative marketing, email infrastructure, product development, and design [00:06:40] Why He Fired His Agencies Fired his ad, SEO, and email marketing agencies after repeatedly damaging experiences with all three The problem was not always the agencies; it was going into those relationships without foundational knowledge Ad agencies are incentivized to run more ads, not make them efficient Understanding your own business fundamentals is what gives you real financial freedom [00:11:00] What Inspires Him Loves blowing people's minds with nuances they didn't know existed in their own business SpiritHoods ranks top three for "faux fur coat," a keyword with hundreds of thousands of monthly searches Transparency matters: he is not a gatekeeper and shares everything that benefits the client Character and morality are the lens he uses when choosing who to work with [00:13:40] How SpiritHoods Started Left a remodeling business after the 2008 crash and started researching product-based opportunities A friend wore a faux fur hat made for Burning Man out to dinner and had the most incredible night of his life The three founders wrote the business plan that same night, including the 10% giveback to endangered animals Was in Guatemala working with sea turtles when the call came: get home, there's a trade show in three weeks [00:17:40] The Trade Show That Launched Everything Flew back early and walked into a buttoned-up Vegas fashion trade show as a group of playful young hooligans Their booth was full of stuffed animals and energy while everyone else was stiff and serious Did $40,000 at that first show with only samples and no production locked in Energy and group comradery drew people in; the fun stood out in a room full of pretension [00:19:20] Navigating Tariffs, Fashion's Hard Season, and the Pivot Products are made in Asia and cannot realistically be manufactured elsewhere; tariffs are hitting hard Saw the writing on the wall two years ago and began deliberately downsizing SpiritHoods to stay nimble Major fashion conglomerates have filed for bankruptcy; the sector is under serious pressure Pivoted to consulting full-time, applying 16 years of hard-earned e-commerce knowledge to help other brands [00:22:40] The Content Rule: Entertain or Educate, Nothing Else Every piece of content must sit on a pillar of entertainment or education If you are only reaching out to sell, you are not providing value and you will lose people Giving 150% value, paid or not, is how cult-like brand loyalty is built SpiritHoods items retailed for $120 and later resold on eBay for $2,000; that is what real desirability creates [00:24:40] The Black Friday Story: Transparency That Built a Tribe Realized mid-sale that body suits were discounted too low after customers had already purchased at a higher price Standard practice would be to quietly deepen the discount without telling anyone; they chose not to Manually refunded every previous buyer the difference, which was harder and more costly to do The result was a flood of loyalty emails from customers saying: this is exactly why we love SpiritHoods [00:30:40] The Relationship That Changed Everything: His Former Business Partner Met his ex-partner through a domestic faux fur supply relationship that grew into a full business partnership His partner ran a $50 million B2B company; finance-driven, analytical, and strong-willed They were opposing ends of the entrepreneurial spectrum, which caused friction and created enormous learning They parted amicably, and the lessons in finance, international operations, and inventory thinking shaped everything after [00:33:20] What the Dichotomy Taught Him His partner's rigid, finite thinking protected the bottom line in ways creative thinking alone never could Latif built the brand; his partner built the business infrastructure Artists like Doja Cat and Justin Bieber found and bought SpiritHoods without ever being approached The tension between their styles was uncomfortable in the moment and invaluable in hindsight [00:35:40] The Real Impact: Inventory Turnover and Cash Flow Discipline After the split, Latif blended his partner's financial lens with his own SEO knowledge to build a smarter product system Too much inventory ties up cash; that is one of the top reasons businesses fail As a creative and founder, cutting a product you love is hard; doing it anyway is essential You have to look at your inventory with a critical eye, not an emotional one [00:39:00] What the First Big Knockoff Taught Him Did $1 million in year one and $4 million in year two on the back of celebrity buzz and pop culture momentum Then got knocked off; sales dropped and they had no playbook for what came next That moment forced them to actually become entrepreneurs; the real learning began when the easy ride stopped Challenges are not obstacles to success; they are the education required for it [00:41:40] Scrutiny Is a Year-Round Practice Financial discipline, like meditation, must be built before you need it When things are going well, the temptation to relax on inventory and cash flow is exactly when you can't afford to Keep the same critical eye in a strong year as you do in a hard one How you narrate what you're experiencing is one of the most powerful variables in your outcome   KEY QUOTES "Nobody understands your business better than you do. When you outsource without understanding the fundamentals, you're losing." — Latif Hamilton "Businesses don't go out of business because they're bad businesses. A lot of times they go out of business because they don't have enough cash flow, and that money is tied up in inventory." — Latif Hamilton "Short discomfort, long-term growth. Do the right thing even when it costs you, and it pays dividends." — Latif Hamilton CONNECT WITH LATIF HAMILTON

Latif Hamilton is the Founder and CEO of SpiritHoods, a leading fashion brand known for its festival-inspired faux fur products. Under his leadership, SpiritHoods has generated over $50 million in revenue and achieved top-three search rankings across major product categories by strategically aligning product development with SEO. A creative entrepreneur at heart and fractional CMO, Latif specializes in bridging operations and design to drive exponential growth. He is also the Founder of The Growth Operative, a consultancy focused on brand growth and business development. In this episode… Many ecommerce brands rely heavily on intuition and creativity when deciding what products to launch. While this approach can work, it often overlooks a valuable source of insight — how customers are actually searching online. Could aligning product decisions with search behavior lead to more consistent growth? Latif Hamilton's answer comes from his experience as a creative entrepreneur and fractional CMO, where he connects product development with marketing strategy. He explains that instead of guessing what customers want, brands should use tools like Semrush or Ahrefs to identify high-volume, low-competition keywords — and then design products specifically to match that demand. He emphasizes focusing on depth within a single category to build authority, aligning product naming with actual search behavior, and prioritizing long-tail keywords to capture niche opportunities. Latif also cautions against overreliance on agencies, encouraging founders to develop a working understanding of SEO so they can guide strategy effectively. Ultimately, growth comes from intentionally combining creative direction with validated demand signals. In this episode of Minds of Ecommerce, Raphael Paulin-Daigle talks with Latif Hamilton, Founder and CEO of SpiritHoods and Founder of The Growth Operative, to discuss SEO-driven product development. Latif discusses strategies for aligning product design with search behavior, how to build authority by dominating a niche, and avoiding common SEO mistakes like agency overreliance.

This week, in an episode we first aired in 2022, we flip the Disney story of life on its head thanks to a barrel of seawater, a 1970s era computer, and underwater geysers. It's the chaos of life. Latif, Lulu, and our Senior Producer Matt Kielty were all sitting on their own little stories until they got thrown into the studio, and had their cherished beliefs about the shape of life put on a collision course. From an accidental study of sea creatures, to the ambitions of Stephen J Gould, to an undercooked theory that captured the world's imagination, we undo the seeming order of the living world and try to make some music out of the wreckage. (Bonus: Learn how Francis Crick really thought life got started on this planet).

In today's episode, guest host Nermin Allam, director of Women's and Gender Studies and associate professor of political science at Rutgers University – Newark, speaks with Rusha Latif, author of Tahrir's Youth: Leaders of a Leaderless Revolution, to reflect on remembering and commemorating the January 25th uprising.The January 25th uprising, which led to the ousting of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in 2011, remains one of the most consequential moments in Egypt's modern political history. The uprising restructured political imagination, reordered lives, and briefly redefined what felt possible.Every year, January 25th asks something of us. It asks us to remember. It asks us to reckon. And it asks us to return carefully and critically to a moment that continues to unsettle our present. This episode is part of that reckoning. As we mark the anniversary of the uprising, we are joined by Rusha Latif to revisit the experiences of the young people who animated that moment and who carried its weight forward long after the chants faded and the public space closed.The conversation invites us to resist simplification and to honor the complexity of a revolutionary moment whose political afterlives still shape how we understand protest, possibility, and loss. It invites listeners to consider what it means to commemorate a revolution in a time when its promises remain unfinished.BiographyRusha Latif is an Egyptian-American researcher and writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her work focuses on social movements and revolutions in the Middle East, with an emphasis on leadership, organization, and collective action across lines of class, gender, religion, and ideology.

In this episode, @geoengineering1 interviews Athar Hussain, physicist and professor of atmospheric science at COMSATS University, Pakistan, about his recent study examining how SAI could influence malaria transmission across South Asia. Using the VECTRI malaria model, the research compares an unmitigated high-emissions pathway (RCP8.5) with the GLENS-SAI scenario, which stabilizes global temperatures at 2020 levels, across seven countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Iran, India, Nepal, and Pakistan.The discussion highlights that while SAI could reduce overall malaria transmission intensity across much of the region by lowering vector density, entomological inoculation rates (EIR), and case numbers, its effects are spatially uneven, with localized increases projected in parts of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, and Nepal. The conversation also explores the public-health implications of these shifts, the potential risks and trade-offs of solar geoengineering, and the importance of region-specific strategies, local expertise, and international collaboration in addressing climate-related health risks.Paper: Hussain, A., Shoaib, M., & Latif, M.

Wasif Latif, Co-Founder, President & Chief Investment Officer at Sarmaya Partners, stops by the Energy News Beat and Energy Impacts Podcasts - With Stu Turley, and David Blackmon for an in-depth look at the global oil and gas financial markets. 1. The performance and investment strategy of the Sarmaya Partners ETF called "Lens". Wasif Latif, the co-founder and CIO of Sarmaya Partners, discusses how the Lens ETF has performed very well since its launch, up over 50%, by investing in stocks and commodities related to the "return to tangibles" investment theme.2. The outlook for the energy and commodities markets, including oil, natural gas, copper, and precious metals like gold and silver. Latif believes there is a looming supply deficit in these commodities due to underinvestment, which will lead to higher prices in the coming years.3. The challenges and limitations of the renewable energy transition, particularly the reliance on technologies like lithium-ion batteries that have significant constraints. Latif argues the transition to renewable energy will take much longer than commonly projected.4. The geopolitical tensions and supply disruptions impacting energy and commodity markets, such as the recent incidents involving tankers and oil platforms. Latif discusses how these short-term events are often "noise" that don't change the underlying supply and demand fundamentals.5. The broader macroeconomic and policy environment, including high inflation, rising interest rates, and increased government intervention, which Latif believes will be favorable for tangible assets and commodities over the long term.00:00 Intro Return to Tangibles01:11 ETF LENS is by Sarmaya Partners03:35 Is the world oversupplied with oil06:10 Geopolitical Risk to Oil07:09 Shale Boom and Break-even for Oil10:06 Companies looking for exploration locations11:38 Policy impacting prices16:58 Market Cycles20:21 Markets like Copper23:42 Global Markets and deindustrialization27:15 Grid complexities of AC vs DC28:56 Renewables impact on Energy37:30 Investing and day trading 41:45 Recycling and Copper48:20 Nuclear and AIFollow Wasif on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/wasiflatif/Check out https://sarmayapartners.com/Check out the Substack: https://sarmayakar.substack.com/Check everything David Blackmon on Blackmon.substack.com

La ville indonésienne de Jakarta est l'une des plus touchées par les inondations. Exposée aux moussons et aux marées importantes, elle manque d'un système de drainage et souffre d'un urbanisme inadapté aux fortes pluies. Djakarta s'enfonce dans le sol notamment, et sa situation s'aggrave à cause du changement climatique, qui intensifie les pluies extrêmes et la montée des eaux. Mais les habitants et les autorités ne restent pas les bras croisés. Depuis 2017, PetaBencana, une carte en ligne, aide à faciliter l'évacuation des sinistrés. C'est un système dit d'alerte précoce, essentiel pour sauver des vies. De notre correspondante à Jakarta  Au sud de Jakarta, des inondations, il y en a tout le temps, raconte Ambon, un habitant d'une vingtaine d'années. Il nous montre une vidéo sur son téléphone, dans laquelle, on l'y voit secourir des gens, à bord d'un canot pneumatique. Il vit en contrebas de la route principale, tout près d'un canal cerné de deux murs en béton qui ne permettent pas de stopper l'eau quand elle déborde. « L'eau peut monter jusqu'à la taille d'un adulte, voire jusqu'à 2 ou 3 mètres. Et là, c'est la panique », raconte-t-il. En Indonésie, quand l'eau monte, plus l'alerte est donnée rapidement, plus il y a de chances de sauver des vies. Pour cela, Ambon utilise une application sur son téléphone : PetaBencana, « carte des catastrophes » en indonésien. C'est un outil gratuit, en ligne, ouvert à tous. Ambon nous en explique le fonctionnement : « Alors, pour faire un signalement, on renseigne la localisation sur cette carte. On indique que dans ce lotissement de la ville de Tangerang Sud, il y a des points inondés, et là, plus précisément, c'est le long de cette route principale, sur ce tronçon. Apparaît alors sur la carte une icône en forme de goutte d'eau, là où l'inondation a lieu. » Autre mission pour Ambon : envoyer des photos et vidéos dans un groupe WhatsApp, géré ici par Latif. T-shirt orange sur le dos, il dirige un groupe de secouristes bénévoles. Il l'assure : PetaBencana permet d'intervenir plus vite. Car selon lui, « s'il existe bien une carte de risques fournie par les autorités, PetaBencana est plus facile à comprendre ». Une réussite indonésienne qui inspire les Philippines, l'Inde et le Pakistan Cet outil a été lancé en 2017, avec le soutien des autorités indonésiennes et de chercheurs. Comme l'association de Latif, 900 ONG l'utilisent, et 47 000 habitants y sont formés. Un défi, nous explique Latif, car « certains sont peu à l'aise avec la technologie. Parfois, ils ont peur de simplement cliquer sur un lien ». Pour ne rater aucune information, la plateforme scrute aussi les réseaux sociaux, comme l'explique, Nashin Mahtani, directrice de PetaBencana : « On a remarqué que pendant une catastrophe, les gens postaient activement sur les réseaux, des posts géolocalisés et horodatés. C'est une incroyable source d'information locale. » Les informations sont ensuite vérifiées avec l'aide d'outils d'intelligence artificielle. L'objectif, pour Nashin Mahtani, est d'impliquer au maximum les habitants, « parce que ça change la perception du risque dans les communautés. Avant, elles se sentaient paniquées et sans solution. Là, elles retrouvent une capacité d'agir ». L'application coûte 400 000 dollars par an. Elle est financée par des dons privés, le gouvernement et l'aide internationale. Le code est libre de droits : la plateforme a déjà été répliquée aux Philippines, et le sera bientôt en Inde et au Pakistan.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 329: Ula Pontikos, BSC The psychological thriller The Man in My Basement is about Charles Blakey (Corey Hawkins), a Black man in Sag Harbor, New York, who is down on his luck, unemployed, and facing foreclosure on his ancestral family home. In a desperate financial situation, Charles accepts a bizarre and extremely lucrative offer from a mysterious, wealthy white businessman named Anniston Bennet (Willem Dafoe). Bennet proposes to rent Charles's basement for a hefty sum—enough to clear his debts—for a few months. To translate director Nadia Latif's four-year vision from film to screen, cinematographer Ula Pontikos, BSC, chose to root the story firmly in Charles Blakey's viewpoint. Ula and Latif meticulously planned the camera movement and character staging, choosing when characters would enter the frame together or remain distant to explore themes of togetherness and division. The Man in My Basement was shot in Wales, standing in for Sag Harbor, New York. Ula's experience shooting in both the UK and the East Coast was a huge benefit. Though she had her doubts about filming in Wales for Sag Harbor, she found that the light in Wales was surprisingly similar to that of the eastern United States. Ula used light and color to reflect Charles's state of mind, trapped in a house he can't afford, with a man literally caged in his basement. A feeling of oppression was created both inside and outside the house with yellow-orange sodium vapor lights enhancing the film's claustrophobic and uneasy atmosphere. The house was a set with a greenscreen in the windows to show the outdoor scenery from inside. Charles's nightmare sequences and scenes in outdoor locations were lit with cyan and greens. The film ultimately builds to a climax steeped in red. The most intimate and thematically crucial scenes took place in the basement. Ula chose to shoot these sequences in order, allowing the light story to progress. The lighting shifts from somewhat dim and shadowy with shafts of daylight to completely dark once Charles covers the windows to prevent people from seeing a man caged in his basement. The basement's color palette was created with yellowy, tungsten lights mixed with LED lights. Ula also acted as camera operator, with a single camera for the basement sequences. To maintain tension for the camera, actors Corey Hawkins and Willem Dafoe rehearsed the basement scenes separately. For Ula, the most challenging aspect of the movie was the technical difficulties of shooting through the bars of the cell in the basement. The camera's field of view and depth of focus constantly shifted. Ula had to change lenses frequently, adjusting between showing more of the actors' faces and showing more of the bars. “Shooting characters and the bars is very hard,” Ula explains. “Inevitably, somebody is going to lose an eyeline and somebody is going to go strange-eyed. It's super restrictive. It's very technical and at some point all of us were swearing about the bars.” Her solution required meticulous technical work: careful blocking and making sure both the camera and the actors hit their marks precisely. She was greatly impressed by the results: “It's a testament to extremely technical, professional actors like Willem and Corey.” See The Man in My Basement on Hulu.
