Shiny scalps. Sparse hairlines. Clients who used to have a mane and now don't. You're having these conversations every week and you need better answers than the ones on the shelf.Simone from Apotecari has them. She's a naturopath, twenty years qualified, with a career spent formulating supplements for brands already sitting in your bathroom cabinet. She also had a hair catastrophe of her own, went looking for something that would fix it from the inside, and found nothing worth taking. So she built it.These are clients you already have. The one whose hairline is quietly moving back. The one on a weight loss injection who hasn't thought to mention it. The one who's oily by day two and blames your shampoo. Simone explains what's happening in each of them, and why the answer is almost never another bottle on the shelf.What we coverThe bond builder era and what a lot of stylists were really doing with itWhy hair is the first thing your body stops feeding when nutrients are shortPerimenopause hair loss and why nobody connected the dots for so longShiny scalps, receding hairlines and what is actually happening in the follicleOily scalps, dandruff and why washing more often changes nothingWhy your scalp ages seven times faster than the skin on your faceThe difference between hair shedding and hair loss, and why the word you use changes everythingWhy the hair industry is not great at doing its own researchWhat a proper ninety day product trial looks like, with data instead of feelingsShe hid her hair for six months. Then she went and fixed it for everybody else.Frequently asked questionsWhy does hair fall out during perimenopause?Hormonal change alters how follicles behave, which is why thinning often shows down the centre part and around the hairline. It rarely happens alone, and it sits alongside other perimenopause symptoms that are just as real and just as connected.Does washing your hair more often make it less oily?No. Washing removes the sebum already on the scalp but does nothing to the rate your body produces it. Balancing oil production happens internally and usually takes two to three months.How long should you take a hair supplement before judging it?Give it ninety days minimum, because that tracks with the hair growth cycle. Take before photos and test porosity and elasticity first, so you are working from data rather than a feeling.Mentioned in this episode:https://www.salonrising.com

Dr. Fauci's preemptive pardon shields him from federal charges – but states can still launch their own investigations. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times before the Senate Homeland Security Committee on July 29, declining to answer Sen. Rand Paul's questions about COVID-19, gain of function research, and Fauci's diary entries about the pandemic's origins. Within hours of Fauci's (lack of) testimony, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced a state investigation – and soon more states may launch investigations of their own. Michael Gates, candidate for California Attorney General, joins to discuss whether a state AG could pursue Fauci, and the medical watchdog organization calling on the American Medical Association to “explicitly condemn transgender genital surgeries on minors.” Investigative journalist Jordan Schachtel of The Dossier argues Deborah Birx should face the same committees as Dr. Fauci, since she holds no pardon. Townhall News Editor Jeff Charles weighs in on Gavin Newsom's resurfaced affair and how it could affect the election, and Zohran Mamdani publishing NYC property-owner data tied to a proposed pied-a-terre tax. Jordan Schachtel is an investigative journalist and the publisher of The Dossier, covering institutional accountability and public health policy. Follow at https://dossier.today/ Jeff Charles is a journalist and News Editor for Townhall.com. He is also the author of the novel “The Grinning Golly Murders” and his work has appeared on RedState, Daily Caller, and his Substack, Chasing Liberty. Follow at https://x.com/jeffcharlesjr Michael Gates is an attorney, husband, and father of five running for California Attorney General.

General Blaine Holt analyzes reports of China supplying advanced shoulder-launched missiles (MANPADS) to Iran via Hong Kong and Pakistan, signaling a major geopolitical shift. Holt explains that while these weapons threaten low-flying aircraft, the supply chain is vulnerable to intelligence interdiction. Holt observes that recent Iranian escalations in Iraq and the Gulf suggest a fragmented leadership in disarray rather than a cohesive strategy. The US and Saudi Arabiaare actively striking Iranian-backed militias. (13)1930 TOKYO

On July 6 China tested a submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missile into the South China Sea. A PLA statement after the test claimed that “the missile test was a routine part of China's annual military training program, and relevant countries had been notified in advance.” In this episode of The Diplomat's Asia Geopolitics Podcast hosts Ankit Panda and Katie Putz take stock of the test and the reactions across the Pacific. The July 6 was the first time that China has launched a submarine-launched ballistic missile into international waters, and only its the second launch of a ballistic missile into international waters since 1980. Also unusual: China provided notice to Australia, Japan, the U.S. and others, through in some cases only half an hour.You can subscribe to The Diplomat's Asia Geopolitics podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify; and watch the episode on YouTube.

Building real community as an adult is quietly one of the hardest things about modern life, and it gets harder when you're Childfree. The friends you assumed would always be around get busy, have kids, or move away, and one day you look up and realize the built-in social life adulthood promised never actually arrived. Maddy Roche sits down with four people who got tired of waiting and built the communities they couldn't find. Kari Cardinale of the Modern Elder Academy, Florence Wlodarski of Parallel Social Club, and Charlie and Ali Higgins of DINK Social each started from the same quiet ache, wanting people whose weekends were free and whose lives looked like theirs, and turned it into something thousands have now joined. Underneath it all sits a striking finding: the single biggest predictor of a long life is not diet or exercise, but the quality of the friendships you build in midlife.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why finding your people gets harder in your 40s and beyond, the specific friction points that make adult friendship so difficult, and how these community builders designed around every one of themHow three very different organizations approach the same need, from a midlife wisdom school to an in-person social club to an app built specifically for Childfree couplesWhy the first hangout is only the entry point, and how structured, smaller gatherings create the deeper "third vault" conversations that actually bond people togetherWhat it takes for an introvert to walk into a new community and get the most out of it, including why small, vetted, interest-based groups beat big networking-style eventsThe 80-year Harvard finding that the quality of your midlife friendships predicts a long life more than diet or exercise, and why that reframes community as a health priorityEpisode Guests:Kari Cardinale is a partner and Chief Content Officer at MEA (Modern Elder Academy), a midlife wisdom school with campuses in Baja, Mexico, and Santa Fe, New Mexico, plus a digital campus and an alumni community of 8,000 people across 60 countries, all built around navigating midlife and building new friendships.MEA (Modern Elder Academy): meawisdom.comFlorence Wlodarski is the co-founder of Parallel Social Club, a social wellness community in Los Angeles built for DINKs, SINKs, Childfree, and childless adults.

Clare County Council has launched a public consultation on proposed changes to speed limits across the county as part of Phase Two of the National Speed Limit Review.    The plans include introducing 30km/h limits in built-up urban areas and reducing speed limits on a number of regional roads, with the aim of improving road safety and reducing the severity of collisions.     But will motorists support the changes, and are they the right approach to making Clare's roads safer?     To discuss the proposals, Alan Morrissey was joined by Ardnacrusha Fianna Fáil Councillor, Rachel Hartigan.

There's a new Australia-first blood test that can detect Alzheimer's even earlier, with clinical trials being rolled out in Sydney. The test can deliver results in as little as 18 minutes and identify disease-related changes up to 20 years before symptoms appear. Australian correspondent Murray Olds says giving people this knowledge early could be a game-changer for their lives. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For review:1. Iran fired multiple ballistic missiles at a U.S. base in the Middle East on Tuesday evening, in what U.S. Central Command called an attempted surprise attack.2. US Central Command announces that it has renewed airstrikes in Iran, in what it calls “a powerful response to yesterday's attempted Iranian attacks on US forces based in the Middle East.”3. A drone hit a US-owned gas storage tanker at Egypt's Mediterranean port of Damietta, British maritime security firm Ambrey said on Wednesday, citing an initial assessment of the incident.There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the incident.4. Iran is expected to receive within weeks a first shipment of up to 400 Chinese-made shoulder-fired air-defense missile launchers, as it rebuilds its defenses amid ongoing fighting with the United States, three sources told Reuters.5. Yemen's Houthis are considering imposing fees on commercial ships sailing through the southern Red Sea, a week after declaring a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, regional sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.6. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not push any one particular strategy regarding Iran during his Oval Office meeting with US President Donald Trump on Tuesday, according to a senior Israeli official, who characterized the sit-down as an “exchange of ideas.” 7. The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday struck a mosque in Gaza City, saying Wednesday that it was one of several Hamas weapons depots in the central and northern Gaza Strip that it destroyed this week.8. The Pentagon has formally launched the Europe force posture review Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced last month, beginning a process to examine U.S. military troop presence, force posture and basing across Europe.

The internal investigation by Victoria's Secret's parent company, L Brands, was launched after the resurfacing of longstanding ties between billionaire founder Les Wexner and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In July 2019 the board retained outside counsel to determine what role, if any, Epstein had within the company—despite L Brands stating that Epstein was “never employed by nor served as an authorized representative of the company.”The inquiry aimed to clarify whether Epstein's influence extended beyond his position as Wexner's personal money manager, including allegations that he posed as a talent scout for Victoria's Secret and might have leveraged access to young models. Former employees and journalists raised concerns that Epstein misrepresented his role, and that red flags from the 1990s went unaddressed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Download your free Painter Growth training here: https://learn.paintergrowth.com/grow-v1?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=grow-v1If you're new here, my name is Mike Gore-Hickman. I'm the founder of Painter Growth, a coaching company that helps painting contractors build real businesses instead of just running jobs.We've worked with over 1,500 painting contractors. Our clients range from guys doing $300K a year to teams pushing past $5M. Our coaches are real painting business owners who built seven-figure companies themselves. Not theory guys.Here's how I got here.Early 20s: Running my own painting business. Couldn't close jobs. Underbidding everything. Painters showed up stoned. Spilled paint on driveways. Painted houses the wrong color. I fell off a ladder. Ended my first year with a $20,000 tax bill I couldn't pay.Still early 20s: Almost quit. Didn't. Got obsessed with systems, sales, and getting help. I hired my first business coach, fixed the chaos & hit over $200K a month in sales before I turned 24.Mid-20s: Followed my girlfriend (now wife) to a new city. Shut the painting business down. Took a job in SaaS. Spent five years helping grow a software company from scratch to nearly $10M a year. That's where I learned how to build and scale an online business.During COVID: My two worlds collided. Running a painting business plus scaling software companies. I launched a side hustle that pulled both together. It became Painter Growth.October 2021: Launched with an MVP and $10 a day in Facebook ads. No money. No clients. No connections.End of 2021: Signed my first 10 clients. Eight got massive results. That was all the proof I needed.Late 2022: Brought on Jesse, my partner and CFO. Hired our first coach and first VA. Reinvested everything back into the business.2023 and beyond: Built a team of nearly 50, including seven-figure painting business owners coaching full time.We became an official Sherwin-Williams partner and we're the exclusive coaching program referred by them.We we're named PCA 2026 Partner of the Year.You don't need to be a good painter to build a great painting business. You need to be a good business owner who hires good painters. Most contractors never make that switch. We help them make it.What I'm focused on right now: AI and systems. We're building AI-powered tools inside Painter Growth, including a bookkeeping assistant and a proposal generator. The contractors who figure this out early are going to pull ahead.I'm still building. Still figuring things out. But I'm doing it alongside 1,500 contractors who are all in the middle of their own fight to build something real.If you're in that fight, you're in the right place.Never quit,MikeGet a FREE Painting Business Growth Session.

We debate work, explore play and too often forget rest. Why and how does rest impact our creativity and our enterprises?Welcome to Up With The Lark And, a podcast for creative entrepreneurs hosted by Calandre Orton. I have spent the last few years debating work and championing play. Finally, in this episode we consider that third thread - rest.Perhaps once billed as a weakness, it is now clear that it is a strategic tool in the life of a creative and of an entreprenuer.But what does it mean? What does it mean for you? What is realistic? And what is effective? And what if it was the strategy and not the reward?Here to join us to discuss how to rest is Amber Teale co-founder of KABN. KABN is a luxury, regenerative, and social hospitality brand based in Scotland. Launched in 2022, the husband-and-wife duo created the company with a focus on immersive, sustainable travel. Their off-grid cabins, originally located on the shores of Loch Fyne in Scotland, blend Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian design.What a perfect fit for this topic. Join us. 

The Government Information Service and the Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan) have launched the second season of Fun Mandarin, an educational television programme designed to make Mandarin language learning engaging, accessible and culturally enriching while strengthening ties between Saint Lucia and Taiwan.

Saint Lucia has officially launched its month-long Emancipation Day 2026 observance, featuring cultural, educational and commemorative activities including the ringing of freedom bells, an Emancipation lecture, tributes to national ancestors and historical figures, book launches, heritage programming, a treasure hunt, poetry challenge, emancipation markets and celebrations honouring Marcus Garvey.

Headline: Iran's Drone Test: Challenging the US Strategic Pause Guest: Edmund Fitton-Brown and Bill Roggio Summary: Following a US suspension of airstrikes, Iran launched drone attacks against Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Iraq to test the Trump administration's resolve. Edmund Fitton-Brown explains that Iran aims to prove it decides when pauses occur, not the US. The segment warns that without consistent US pressure, Iran could establish a "regional protection racket," leaving Arab states to seek separate accommodations with the bully on the block.

This quarterly double feature is about Fleetwood Mac for a couple of reasons: because they're a very interesting and important band, and because they have two self-titled albums that sound nothing like each other. Launched by Peter Green in 1968 as a British blues band, in less than a decade they became an unstoppable California pop-rock monster. Their progression from one to the other is one of the most fascinating stories in rock history, and includes a lot of incredible music that you might not have known about. Mike, John, and Amanda had a great time talking about the various forms of Fleetwood Mac, and if you're not familiar with their earlier incarnations, we hope you end up loving them as much as we do. And even if you don't, the later version of the band is still every bit as good as their reputation says they are. This episode includes Side One of each album, and you will get Sides Two next week!

Episode Overview In this episode of Off the Clock, hosts Keith Maziarek and Justin Ergler sit down with Michael Pierson, Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of Pierson Ferdinand. Launched in January 2024 as the largest law firm debut in U.S. history with 130 partners, Pierson Ferdinand has rapidly grown to over 300 partners globally across 35+ markets. Michael shares how his background in architecture shaped his approach to law firm management, how Pierson Ferdinand is dismantling the traditional Big Law pyramid leverage model, and why embedding AI natively—rather than as an afterthought—allows their firm to deliver superior value to clients while fostering a culture of "radical inclusion." Episode Highlights Architectural Foundations for Firm Design: Michael discusses how studying architecture at Versailles taught him to think systemically, plan ahead, and innovate within strict regulatory boundaries—skills that were vital when designing a law firm infrastructure from scratch. Flipping the Big Law Model: Traditional law firm leverage models rely heavily on billing clients for junior associate training. Pierson Ferdinand operates with a partner-heavy, lean structure where clients only pay for experienced, direct-value work. The "10x Lawyer" and AI Integration: By embedding tools like Harvey AI into daily workflows (e.g., executing private equity side letters on flat fees), the firm empowers partners to become exponentially more efficient without passing unnecessary overhead onto clients. Culture, Pedigree, and the "No Jerks" Rule: While elite legal credentials are table stakes, Pierson Ferdinand places equal or greater weight on soft skills, radical inclusion, humility, and hiring genuinely great human beings who thrive in a consensus-driven environment. The Junior Partner On-Ramp: Addressing burnout and shifting industry demographics by creating a junior partner class (for 5th and 6th-year associates), offering a sustainable career alternative with direct mentorship from senior partners.

Neil Lanctot covers the winter of 1915–1916, when TR championed the "preparedness" movement, arguing that the U.S.was dangerously vulnerable with only 100,000 men in its army. Wilson, feeling the political pressure, launched a speaking tour through the Midwest to sell a defense buildup, using the analogy that he could not keep "sparks" from a world on fire from hitting the American roof. While TR maneuvered for the 1916 Republican nomination, the peace movement suffered a major blow via Henry Ford's "Peace Ship." Ford funded an expedition of neutrals to Europe to stop the war, but it became a disorganized PR disaster that made pacifism appear foolish to the public. Jane Addams, though intending to go, fell ill and missed the voyage—a stroke of luck that saved her from the ensuing ridicule. Despite the internal chaos of the peace movement, Wilson eventually secured a defense buildup package in the summer of 1916. (4)

Far from God, Close to You is a sermon series about the people God has placed in our everyday lives who are far from Him but close to us. Evangelism is not just a church program, a mission trip, or something reserved for people with the right personality. It is the normal life of a follower of Jesus. Every day, we live, work, eat, parent, coach, study, and sit beside people who need the hope of the gospel. Some are searching. Some are skeptical. Some are wounded. Some are running. But none of them are outside the reach of God's grace. In this series, we will learn how to see people the way Jesus sees them, pray for them with urgency, love them with patience, speak the gospel with clarity, and invite them into life with Christ. The goal is not guilt. The goal is faithfulness. God has put us close to people who are far from Him, and He wants to use ordinary believers to make Jesus known in ordinary places. Because someone far from God may be closer than you think.

Captain James Fanell reports China recently conducted its first submarine-launched ballistic missile test in the South Pacific in 40 years. Fanell reports that China has shifted to a "first use" nuclear policy and is completing its triad with the H-20 stealth bomber. He uses the "boiling frog" analogy to describe China's incremental aggression, warning that the U.S.must recognize these self-evident intentions before a "shot" is taken against regional forces or allies like Taiwan.

In this episode of the Old Front Line Podcast, we explore one of the most successful British attacks of the Battle of the Somme: the Dawn Attack of 14 July 1916. Launched before first light, the assault captured key objectives including Bazentin-le-Petit, Bazentin-le-Grand and Longueval, bringing British troops to the edge of High Wood and changing the course of the campaign.We examine the battle in detail, explaining the careful planning, the surprise achieved by attacking at dawn, and why this operation succeeded where so many earlier assaults had struggled. Along the way, we tell the stories of two men who experienced the fighting from very different perspectives, one an ordinary soldier, the other an officer, bringing a personal dimension to one of the Somme's defining actions.The episode concludes with a virtual battlefield walk, travelling west to east across the ground of the attack. From the British front lines through the captured villages and on towards High Wood, we explore what survives today and reveal how the landscape still tells the story of this remarkable day in July 1916.Main Image: The 20th Deccan Horse, Indian Army, in the Carnoy Valley shortly before their unsuccessful attack at High Wood during the Somme offensive, 14 July 1916.

Foundations of Amateur Radio When the Sun burps, something that it does regularly, the mainstream media starts talking about aurorae and optionally the end of the civilised world, not always as clinically as that. What's not talked about, let alone explained, is the nature of the solar burp. You've likely heard the terms Coronal Mass Ejection, or CME, Solar Flare and perhaps Solar Wind, Solar and Geomagnetic Storm, and Solar Flux, but what do these terms actually mean and how do they relate? Let's start with some basic numbers. Our Sun is 150 million kilometres away from Earth. As seen from Earth, the Sun rotates on its axis every 27 days, called a synodic rotation period, because while the Sun is rotating, Earth is moving too. If that wasn't enough, the Sun isn't solid, depending on where you're looking at it, rotation happens at different speeds, faster at the equator, slower at the poles. You might have heard of the Solar Cycle, an 11 year period during which solar activity steadily increases, near the maximum activity its magnetic poles flip from North to South and activity slowly decreases until the cycle starts again. Until quite recently we've deduced this by counting the number of dark areas, called sunspots, on the surface of the Sun. All this to say that our Sun is one massively dynamic environment and with it come a whole lot of processes that science is still discovering. The YouTube channel Astrum has a fascinating video called "We Didn't Predict the Sun Would Do This", that describes much of what we're still learning. We experience the Sun as a source of light, but as a radio amateur you know that light only represents a small set of frequencies in the radio spectrum, it's better to think of the Sun as a radio source, emitting many frequencies at once. The strength of this is measured at 2.8 GHz three times a day at 17:00, 20:00 and 23:00 UTC at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada. This measurement, the Solar Flux gives a good indication of the level of solar activity. Adjusted for the varying distance between Earth and the Sun, a Solar Flux Index, or SFI, below 70 means that solar activity is very low, above 150 is considered very high activity. In addition to radio waves, the Sun also spits out a continuous wave of particles. Different parts of the Sun emit these at different speeds, varying between 300 and 800 km/s. These particles, the Solar Wind, exist throughout our Solar system. Because the Sun rotates and the particles aren't being emitted evenly we experience the solar wind as having a 27 day cycle. Think of a water filled beach-ball hanging from a rope with a hole in it, spinning, creating spirals of water. Stand in one spot and every time the ball rotates, you get hit by water. When the Sun burps, often at a sunspot, where concentrations of magnetic fields cool the surface, bursts of electromagnetic radiation are generated throughout the radio spectrum. Measured in Watts per square meter, this radiation is called a Solar Flare. Travelling at the speed of light, it takes about nine minutes to arrive at Earth. Sunspot and solar activity is used to model and predict the potential for solar flares. Strength is classified in four stages, class B being the weakest, through C, M, and class X being the strongest, each ten times more powerful than the previous. Within each class, numbers 1 through 9 serve to provide additional resolution, X2 being twice as strong as X1. The most powerful flare on record was estimated to be about X45, recorded on 4 November 2003, when at strength X17 the sensors overloaded. Some solar flares coincide with a massive eruption of particles, some of which are ejected violently, called a Coronal Mass Ejection or CME. A slow CME, travelling at 500 km/s might take three days to hit Earth, an extreme CME, travelling at up to 2,500 km/s might arrive in 16 hours. As the CME particles arrive, they distort Earth's geomagnetic field and depending on the severity, might cause a geomagnetic storm where fields are pushed closer towards Earth causing visual effects as aurorae. Recovery generally takes up to two days, but in extreme cases has been observed to take four. Disturbances of Earth's magnetic field are highly variable and are expressed in several different ways, the K, Kp, A, Ap and G indices. The K-index measured at individual observatories, ranges from 0 to 9 over a three hour period represents the maximum horizontal fluctuation in the geomagnetic field. Values of 5 and above indicating a geomagnetic storm. The planetary Kp-index represents a weighted average of 13 mid-latitude observatories. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA uses a G-scale, between 1 and 5, equivalent to a Kp-index between 5 and 9. The A-index is derived over eight K-index readings over a 24 hour UTC period at a particular observatory, below 20 is calm, between 20 and 50 is unsettled and above 50 is a stormy day. The Ap-index is an averaged planetary index based on data from a set of specific Kp stations. There's more. In 1760, a publication by Swiss polymath Leonard Euler indicated the existence of three stationary points between any two large bodies, known today as L1, L2 and L3. In 1772, Italian born, French mathematician, physicist and astronomer, Joseph-Louis Lagrange, discovered two more stationary points, L4 and L5. Known as the Euler-Lagrange, or Lagrange Points, some of these locations are being used today for solar observations, predictions and early warning systems. Launched on 24 September 2025 and in orbit at L1, between the Sun and Earth, at a distance of 1.5 million kilometres from Earth, the SOLAR-1 satellite acts as an early warning for solar storms. Since particles travel slower than the speed of light, this provides about 15 minutes warning for extreme CME's and longer for slower events. It became fully operational on the 10th of June, 2026. As part of the same Space Situational Awareness Programme as SOLAR-1 is the European Space Agency's Vigil space mission. Intended to be placed at L5, 150 million kilometres from Earth, it will be able to observe solar activity as the Sun rotates towards Earth and reports indicate that this will increase early CME warning by two to four hours. Vigil will also allow for four to five day space weather forecasts. It's planned for launch in 2031, mind you, it's going to take three years to get to L5. Aimed with all that information, I was actually, for the first time, able to at least understand the solar report in my Mastodon feed. "The Sunspot Number has dropped to 88. The Solar Flux Index has risen to 149. G1-class geomagnetic storms are predicted for today. A-Index is 14, K-Index is 2. Chance of flares today: 55% for M-Class, 10% for X-Class." Armed with that information I'm going to make myself a cuppa and figure out what my WSPR beacon has to say about all this. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

I'm the founder of Painter Growth, a coaching company that helps painting contractors build real businesses instead of just running jobs.We've worked with over 1,500 painting contractors. Our clients range from guys doing $300K a year to teams pushing past $5M. Our coaches are real painting business owners who built seven-figure companies themselves. Not theory guys.Here's how I got here.Early 20s: Running my own painting business. Couldn't close jobs. Underbidding everything. Painters showed up stoned. Spilled paint on driveways. Painted houses the wrong color. I fell off a ladder. Ended my first year with a $20,000 tax bill I couldn't pay.Still early 20s: Almost quit. Didn't. Got obsessed with systems, sales, and getting help. I hired my first business coach, fixed the chaos & hit over $200K a month in sales before I turned 24.Mid-20s: Followed my girlfriend (now wife) to a new city. Shut the painting business down. Took a job in SaaS. Spent five years helping grow a software company from scratch to nearly $10M a year. That's where I learned how to build and scale an online business.During COVID: My two worlds collided. Running a painting business plus scaling software companies. I launched a side hustle that pulled both together. It became Painter Growth.October 2021: Launched with an MVP and $10 a day in Facebook ads. No money. No clients. No connections.End of 2021: Signed my first 10 clients. Eight got massive results. That was all the proof I needed.Late 2022: Brought on Jesse, my partner and CFO. Hired our first coach and first VA. Reinvested everything back into the business.2023 and beyond: Built a team of nearly 50, including seven-figure painting business owners coaching full time.We became an official Sherwin-Williams partner and we're the exclusive coaching program referred by them.We we're named PCA 2026 Partner of the Year.You don't need to be a good painter to build a great painting business. You need to be a good business owner who hires good painters. Most contractors never make that switch. We help them make it.What I'm focused on right now: AI and systems. We're building AI-powered tools inside Painter Growth, including a bookkeeping assistant and a proposal generator. The contractors who figure this out early are going to pull ahead.I'm still building. Still figuring things out. But I'm doing it alongside 1,500 contractors who are all in the middle of their own fight to build something real.If you're in that fight, you're in the right place.Never quit,MikeGet a FREE Painting Business Growth Session.

After waiting too long to pay his restaurant bill, Aman Narang thought there had to be a better way. His first idea—a mobile payment app—flopped.But that failure revealed a much bigger opportunity.Restaurants were struggling with outdated software that many owners hated. Payment systems were expensive, unreliable, and trapped on servers hidden in back offices. Replacing them cost time and money.But that's exactly what Aman and his co-founders set out to do: create an entirely new POS system for restaurants—from scratch.They worked from an unfinished basement, answered customer calls on their own phones, crashed their first restaurant on day one, survived years of rejection from investors—and eventually grew Toast into a business that generates more than $2 billion in annual revenue.In this episode, Aman shares how a failed product became a billion-dollar company.What you'll learn:How to know when it's time to pivotWhy investors rejected Toast again and againHow to convince customers to replace mission-critical softwareWhy Toast intentionally stayed small before scalingThe leadership lesson Aman learned after almost breaking the companyHow Toast survived COVID after restaurants shut downWhat founders should look for when choosing a co-founderTimestamps:11:25 — The frustrating restaurant experience that inspires Toast15:41 — The first product fails—and reveals a bigger opportunity16:43 — Building Toast: “We grossly underappreciated what it would take.”26:05 — Why nearly every investor said “No.”32:31 — Toast's disastrous first launch: writing credit card numbers by hand34:18 — Pitching hundreds of restaurant owners before finding believers38:08 — Why customer obsession beats competitor obsession44:17 — Bringing in a new CEO: “We need to rethink how we do things here.” 52:31 — The biggest lessons from building a $2 billion companyThis episode was produced by Sam Paulson with music by Ramtin Arablouei.

Why trust a custodian with your sats? Edgar Borja (@k1elsalvador) breaks down K1's self-custody Bitcoin ATM, on-chain and Lightning buying, and Bitcoin in Bolivia. Edgar walks through K1's new update, buying Bitcoin on the Lightning Network and on-chain, what's happening with Bitcoin adoption in Bolivia, and what it's like pitching investors 5,000 times. K1's machines now support on-chain and Lightning purchases with full self-custody, cutting out Strike, Blink, and OpenNode entirely. Edgar demos a live on-chain purchase and explains why every K1 transaction is RBF disabled, so once it's broadcast, it's final.K1 machines now run in 28 countries. That growth reflects real tech innovation in Bitcoin hardware, built for the global market from day one. The team solved for different bill sizes, currencies, and KYC rules in every country they shipped to. Edgar covers how KYC gets configured machine by machine, why K1 stays buy-only for now, and a cash-dispensing module already demoed at the Adopting Bitcoin conference.Small business owners get a direct pitch here. Edgar walks through the three K1 tiers, Mini, Mini Plus, and Mini Global, plus pricing and why the bill acceptor is the hardest part to build. If you're exploring digital asset management or a new source of business growth, a Bitcoin ATM in a coffee shop or corner store is a low-friction way to start.Then there's Bolivia. Edgar saw a fiat currency failing in real time, banks offering 6 Bolivianos to the dollar while the street rate hit 10. The government built its own workaround digital payments network just to keep money moving. This is what pulls people toward hard money. Watching their savings shrink every week, people in Cochabamba are turning to Bitcoin.Edgar also shares K1's education tools: a crayon-and-paper workshop that teaches private keys, and a board game called MerkColor that teaches Merkle trees in under a minute. He talks about pitching investors an estimated 5,000 times on a Bitcoin startup accelerator and reality show, plus his advice for founders: fall in love with the problem you're solving.

In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with Julie Samuels, the founder, president, and CEO of Tech:NYC, a network of technology leaders dedicated to fostering a dynamic, diverse, and creative New York. Launched in 2016, Tech:NYC operates at the intersection of business, government, academia, and philanthropy, convening leaders to strengthen New York's innovation economy through policy, partnerships, and programs. We begin with some of Samuels's formative experiences at the intersection of technology and policy: a college internship at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, work as an IP lawyer and at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and her leadership of Engine, the national nonprofit focused on technology entrepreneurship and advocacy. We also discuss the context and conditions that would inform the launch of Tech:NYC: the groundwork laid by the Bloomberg Administration to foster the growth of the city's tech sector, a critical mass of tech firms in the city, and industry leaders like Fred Wilson, Kevin Ryan and Tim Armstrong who recognized that better and coordinated leadership could help shape New York's continued growth as the country (and world's) number two tech hub behind Silicon Valley. Samuels is passionate about the technology-city nexus. "Tech culture and tech zeitgeist really lend themselves to an urbanist way of seeing the world," she says. "People in tech have a systems framework, and big urban centers like New York are all about systems — think about things like public transit. This makes for natural connection between tech and urban centers." She notes that New York has been particularly successful in tech because of the diversity of its other industries: companies can apply and test technologies developed on the West Coast to other markets, from financial services and health care to real estate, hospitality, media, fashion, or wherever New York is the world's "center of gravity." According to Samuels, these dynamics underpin the sector's extraordinary growth: today technology is the city's fastest growing industry with over $30 billion in annual venture capital flowing to 25,000 startups and accounting for 300,000 jobs (64 percent growth over the last decade, 41 percent of net job growth since 2019) and nine percent of the Gross City Product. Samuels underscores the cultural reasons this growth is durable: "Tech is a creative industry," she explains. "It benefits from the creative energy of a big city… density, networks of different kinds of people, cultural institutions, night life. When I lived in San Francisco, I would meet tech people who lived in SF. Here, we have New Yorkers who work in tech." Tech:NYC's work has evolved over the last ten years, while remaining true to its mission "to ensure New York City is the best place to start and grow a tech company." For Samuels, this mission is two-fold: create the conditions for the tech industry to thrive and integrate technology into the life of the city in ways that uplift everyone. "As tech radically changes how all of us live and work," Samuels says, "Tech:NYC exists to ensure transition is as smooth as possible." As a research and policy advocacy organization, Tech:NYC focused its early years primarily on technology policy and the role of the tech sector in the city and state's larger economy. Today, Samuels notes, while Tech:NYC still works closely on tech policy — things like data privacy, broadband, or public private partnerships like Empire AI, which will provide state-of-the-art power for New York's top University researchers to develop safe, equitable, and responsible AI — it is also focused more broadly on basic "livability" issues like housing, education, and public safety that allow people to live, work and raise families in New York.  Tech:NYC's work also extends to programs like Decoded Futures, a capacity-building AI initiative that equips leaders from the social sector with the tools and skills to use AI to scale their impact, and the Grid Fellowship, which connects technology leaders with New York's public sector. And since its earliest days, Tech:NYC has undertaken many initiatives in K-12 and higher education and workforce development to invest in the participation of all New Yorkers in the tech economy. We discuss the challenges of the current moment, including the advent of AI and its attending economic and political complexities. Ultimately, Samuels says, "Progress is real; we're strivers, builders, creators. Let's lean into that, and make sure growth happens with intention and with the right guardrails. New York can lead on this."   Mentioned in this episode: Tech:NYC Built to Lead: New York's Momentum Toward Global Leadership in Applied AI, (Tech:NYC and Accenture, 2025)

Small teams with smart AI can solve problems no one imagined before. In this episode, I spoke with Zhen Lu, CEO of Runpod, about the rapidly evolving AI landscape and the future of software development. Zhen Lu shared how Runpod is empowering engineers to train AI models tailored to specific business needs, improve efficiency, and reduce waste. We also discussed his founder journey, the power of co-founder alignment, global innovation outside traditional tech hubs, and the importance of human accountability in AI-driven organizations. Here are the highlights: ● Runpod builds AI developer infrastructure. The platform supports tailored AI workloads, enabling businesses to efficiently train models specific to their needs. ● AI is changing how software is built. Engineers are challenged to rethink software design, not just accelerate existing processes, creating new opportunities for innovation. ● Efficiency and sustainability matter. Fine-tuning smaller, focused models reduces resource waste, energy consumption, and operational costs compared to massive off-the-shelf models. ● Co-founder alignment drives success. Implicit trust, complementary skills, and low ego between Zhen and his co-founder have accelerated decision-making and execution. ● Global networks and bootstrapping foster innovation. Scarcity encourages creativity, and building strong relationships outside Silicon Valley has enabled Runpod to grow and support AI developers worldwide. About the guest: Zhen Lu and co-founder Pardeep Singh started by running crypto mining rigs out of their New Jersey basements. When Ethereum's "The Merge" threatened to make that obsolete, they pivoted, converting the rigs into AI servers. As corporate developers at Comcast building ML projects, they saw firsthand that the GPU developer experience was, in Zhen's words, "just hot garbage." That insight became Runpod. Launched in early 2022, Runpod offers fast, developer-friendly GPU infrastructure: clean APIs, CLI tools, serverless options, and easy configuration. Rather than the traditional VC route, they debuted on Reddit with "Hey Reddit, give us your worst" — and got "please take my money" in return. They went on to earn validation from Hugging Face co-founder Julien Chaumond and a seed round led by Dell Technologies Capital, hitting $120M ARR, 10 billion serverless requests, and serves ~900,000 developers across 31 global regions.

In this episode, I spoke with Zhen Lu, CEO of Runpod, about the rapidly evolving AI landscape and the future of software development. Zhen Lu shared how Runpod is empowering engineers to train AI models tailored to specific business needs, improve efficiency, and reduce waste. We also discussed his founder journey, the power of co-founder alignment, global innovation outside traditional tech hubs, and the importance of human accountability in AI-driven organizations. Here are the highlights: ● Runpod builds AI developer infrastructure. The platform supports tailored AI workloads, enabling businesses to efficiently train models specific to their needs. ● AI is changing how software is built. Engineers are challenged to rethink software design, not just accelerate existing processes, creating new opportunities for innovation. ● Efficiency and sustainability matter. Fine-tuning smaller, focused models reduces resource waste, energy consumption, and operational costs compared to massive off-the-shelf models. ● Co-founder alignment drives success. Implicit trust, complementary skills, and low ego between Zhen and his co-founder have accelerated decision-making and execution. ●     Global networks and bootstrapping foster innovation. Scarcity encourages creativity, and building strong relationships outside Silicon Valley has enabled Runpod to grow and support AI developers worldwide.   About the guest: Zhen Lu and co-founder Pardeep Singh started by running crypto mining rigs out of their New Jersey basements. When Ethereum's "The Merge" threatened to make that obsolete, they pivoted,  converting the rigs into AI servers. As corporate developers at Comcast building ML projects, they saw firsthand that the GPU developer experience was, in Zhen's words, "just hot garbage." That insight became Runpod.   Launched in early 2022, Runpod offers fast, developer-friendly GPU infrastructure: clean APIs, CLI tools, serverless options, and easy configuration. Rather than the traditional VC route, they debuted on Reddit with "Hey Reddit, give us your worst" — and got "please take my money" in return. They went on to earn validation from Hugging Face co-founder Julien Chaumond and a seed round led by Dell Technologies Capital, hitting $120M ARR, 10 billion serverless requests, and serves ~900,000 developers across 31 global regions.   Connect with Zhen Lu: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zeen/ Website: https://www.runpod.io/ Connect with Allison: Feedspot has named Disruptive CEO Nation as one of the Top 25 CEO Podcasts on the web.

Joaquin Murrieta has been remembered as a Robin Hood of the California Gold Rush — a wronged miner turned avenging outlaw, the supposed inspiration for Zorro. The truth is far darker and more complicated: the real Murrieta led one of the bloodiest bandit gangs of the era. He was killed in 1853, and his severed head became its own strange piece of California history. My guest is New York Times bestselling author John Boessenecker, and his book is called "Bring Me the Head of Joaquin Murrieta: The Bandit Chief Who Terrorized California and Launched the Legend of Zorro". He has been on the show twice before, and back to separate the myth of Murrieta from the man.

The time the Dalai Lama went bowling in their basement, the time a stranger showed up with exactly the $15,000 they were missing — and more behind-the-scenes stories from 50 years of IMS. In 1975, a handful of young Americans fresh back from years of intensive practice in India and Burma pooled together $150,000 they didn't have and bought a former Catholic novitiate in rural Massachusetts. Fifty years later, the Insight Meditation Society has become one of the most consequential institutions in the history of Buddhism in the West — the place where Jon Kabat-Zinn had the idea that became Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and where, as one longtime yogi put it, the whole thing has run for half a century "without any adult supervision whatsoever." For IMS's 50th anniversary, Dan sits down with four of its founding teachers — Jack Kornfield, Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg, and Jacqueline Mandell — along with Steven Schwartz, who helped get the organization built in the first place. Together they trace the founding story, the early years of $25-a-month stipends and "window wars," the accidental birth of the mindfulness movement, and what they hope IMS looks like 1,000 years from now.

Chinese Missile Provocations and the Undersea Power Struggle. Gordon Chang and Rebecca Grant. Chinalaunched a long-range missile over sovereign territories toward Fiji, an aggressive move coinciding with major NATOand RIMPAC events. The test signals China's intent to expand its nuclear triad despite its currently "noisy" submarine technology. The U.S. maintains its undersea dominance through advanced programs like the Columbia-class boomer and unmanned Orca systems. (2)

Geoffrey Wawro, guest author, recounts how, in January 1968, the Tet Offensive was launched by the NVA and Viet Cong to deliver a knockout blow to the South Vietnamese government. While the communists suffered massive tactical losses, they achieved a strategic victory in information warfare by shattering the American public's illusion of progress. This shift was cemented by Walter Cronkite's broadcast declaring the war a stalemate, leading Johnson to believe he had lost "middle America." Simultaneously, the Siege of Khe Sanh served as a symbol of the war's futility. Despite a harrowing months-long defense involving intense B-52 strikes to "freeze" NVA divisions, the US abandoned and bulldozed the base shortly after the battle ended. This segment emphasizes how both sides were "wasting human beings" in engagements that lacked tactical or strategic significance. The Vietnam War: A Military History (4)
