Ten years ago, when you needed a ride across town or to the airport, you might have called a taxi. Now, you're more likely to open an app on your phone. Ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft have been growing at breakneck speed. But the fast growth — and increased focus on profits — has changed the experience for some drivers and riders. It's also prompted some states, including Minnesota, to pass minimum wage guarantees for drivers. MPR News host Angela Davis talks with her guests about how rideshare works and how it's changing. Guests:  Sergio Avedian is senior contributor for The Rideshare Guy, a driver advocacy blog and YouTube channel. He drives for multiple ridesharing and food delivery services in Los Angeles.Said Mohamed has been a rideshare driver for nine years and is a former taxi driver. Since moving to the Twin Cities from southern California three years ago, he's driven over 11,000 rides. He's also an organizer for SEIU Local 26, a union that wants to represent rideshare drivers.

Rideshare Rodeo Podcast (episode 488): California's AB5, Prop 22, and AB1340, which aim to redefine gig workers' status, with AB5's 2019 passage sparking lawsuits from Uber and Lyft over driver classification. Prop 22, approved in November 2020 with 59% voter support and backed by $205 million from gig companies like Uber and Lyft, allows drivers to remain independent contractors, countering AB5. AB1340, currently under review in 2025, proposes labor relations changes for gig drivers, reflecting ongoing legislative tension. Rideshare Rodeo Brand & Podcast: https://linktr.ee/RideshareRodeo

The 2025 rally in Uber Technologies (UBER) was a "move we've been expecting for quite a while," says LikeFolio's Andy Swan. However, he argues its moat is now being threatened. App usage data shows competitors like DoorDash (DASH), Lyft Inc. (LYFT), and Alphabet's (GOOGL) Waymo picking up steam. Andy thinks Uber needs partners and a greater focus on autonomous driving to maintain its future in the rideshare space. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Mike Maples Jr., the legendary co-founder of Floodgate and early backer of Twitter, Lyft, and Twitch, joined EUVC to deliver a masterclass in contrarian venture investing. His message to European GPs and LPs was clear: the biggest winners don't follow the rules — they break them.He not only challenged European venture capitalists to rethink their playbooks but also distilled years of hard-won wisdom into a framework he calls Inflection Theory, urging GPs and LPs alike to focus on pattern breakers instead of pattern matching.In typical fashion, Mike was sharp, candid, and even a bit irreverent, dropping truth bombs about everything from what makes a founder truly breakout to why fund size is a VC's destiny. This essay captures those key insights and explores what they mean for European investors who aspire to back the future's biggest winners.Mike Maples Jr. has never been one for incremental change. As our conversation revealed, he believes venture success comes from “changing the subject” entirely – defying conventional wisdom and waging “asymmetric warfare on the present”. European GPs and LPs tuning in were treated to a masterclass on identifying unreasonable founders who don't fit the mold, and why the usual check-the-box approach to startups misses the mark. From Inflection Theory and the anatomy of breakout founders to the transatlantic culture clash in tech, let's dive into Maples' playbook – and see how it challenges us all to up our game.

As a Lyft driver, I meet so many fascinating people on a regular basis. One woman in particular, Veronica Colsher, really piqued my interest during our trip together. Like myself, Veronica was born and raised in Philly and she's a diehard Eagles fan! Also, we both moved to Pittsburgh from Philly to pursue higher education. While we share multiple similarities, we also have our differences. For example, I am CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC while Veronica is DELUSIONAL LY OPTIMISTIC. Whether she had to move in with friends because the roof of her apartment caved in or overcome medical challenges throughout her childhood, Veronica always maintained a positive outlook. As a result, she has figured out how to be the best version of herself. Stay tuned for a compelling conversation with one of my favorite Lyft passengers.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Uber's growing autonomous vehicle investments and why they won't be modest. While Uber publicly framed their autonomy spending as “modest” and emphasized share buybacks, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made it clear on the company's Q2 2025 earnings call that more OEM partnerships and AV deals are on the horizon. At the same time, Uber pointed to “recycling” past investments, raising the question: why recycle when the company's growing free cash flow can support both increased buybacks and significant investments in the autonomy ecosystem? Is this simply a bid to reassure Wall Street while simultaneously preparing for an autonomous future?Anything is possible and we broke it all down on this week's edition of Autonomy Markets along with Lyft's renewed interest in autonomy and their willingness to invest and own assets.

Nick Troxel is a lawyer, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Troxel Fitch, LLC, a business-focused law firm in Denver. In this episode, he shares how he went from driving Lyft after law school to building a thriving firm with his law school roommate. If you've ever dreamed of starting your own legal business, or wondered if it's worth the ris, this conversation is for you.LAWYER SIDE HUSTLESNick didn't have a side hustle in the traditional sense—his firm was the hustle. He and his partner built it in real time, taking every contract and client they could, learning by doing, and stretching every dollar. The early months were full of late nights, part-time jobs, and small wins that added up to something bigger. Over time, that side hustle became a full-fledged, thriving firm.“I didn't do this to be super rich or anything. I mean, I want freedom. And that's ultimately what entrepreneurship can give you,” shares Nick Troxel in Episode 76 of You Are a Lawyer.In addition to running his practice, Nick also co-authored How to Be a Lawyer, a book that aims to demystify the transition from law school to practice. His passion for helping new lawyers build sustainable careers has become a core part of his identity. He proves that a non-traditional career doesn't mean a lesser one. It often means a more fulfilling one, especially when it's built with intention and courage.LISTEN TO LEARNWhat it really takes to start a law firm straight out of law schoolWhy lifestyle goals should guide your legal career decisionsHow to build resilience through uncertainty (and global pandemics)WE ALSO DISCUSSEntrepreneurship as a mindset, not just a jobHow to avoid “golden handcuffs” in your careerWhy law students should focus on the life they want—not just the job they think they should takeJoin the FREE mailing list!Get behind-the-scenes content from You Are A Lawyer. 1) Visit www.youarealawyer.com2) Add your email address to the Subscribe pop-up box OR3) Enter your email address on the right side of the screen4) Get emails from me (I won't fill your inbox with junk)!Interact with You Are A LawyerKyla Denanyoh hosts the You Are A Lawyer podcast. Follow the podcast:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@youarealawyerWebsite: https://www.youarealawyer.com

Welcome to episode #994 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Vicki Tan has designed experiences for some of the most influential companies in the world (Pinterest, Airbnb, Headspace, Lyft, Google) and her work has always focused on helping people make better choices in complex environments. Her new book, Ask This Book A Question, continues that mission in a radically creative form. This isn't your typical self-help guide. It's an interactive journey through the beautiful mess of human decision-making, shaped by the science of cognitive bias, the power of storytelling and the playfulness of visual design. Vicki explores how our mental shortcuts shape everything - from whether we leave our job to how we fall in love - and how reframing our questions can unlock more clarity than any answer ever could. She talks about the tension between intuition and logic, the real-world costs of not understanding our own biases and the way interface design and behavior design intersect in both delightful and dangerous ways. In this epsiode, she also digs into the deeper story behind the book: How she collaborated with artists to visualize psychological concepts and why she believes our decisions deserve more compassion than critique. This episode is for anyone who's ever overthought a text message… or stood paralyzed in a grocery aisle… or wondered why being human feels so confusing sometimes. Which is to say: it's for all of us.

This week, we're drowning in the genius of our tech overlords as Elon Musk opens his Tesla diner, complete with $17 hotdogs and a blocked apartment view, while his $9 billion Neuralink startup claims it's a "disadvantaged" business. Not to be outdone, SpaceX is mad about other people's space junk, France is criminally probing X for algorithm manipulation, and Meta is giving the EU's AI code of practice a hard pass. Amid warnings the AI bubble is worse than the dot-com implosion, we've seen Replit delete a user's database, ChatGPT hallucinate features into existence, and the FDA's own AI fake medical studies. It's no wonder psychologists are identifying "AI Psychosis" while others hope the ensuing internet slop cures our addiction. Meanwhile, a Denver couple gets indicted for a crypto scam, a Colorado pastor blames God for his failed coin, and Trump signs a stablecoin bill, so that's all fixed now. To top it off, Lyft lets you block drivers and Uber finally lets women riders match with women drivers in the US.In Media Candy, we're turning the nostalgia dial to eleven with "This Is Spinal Tap" in 4K and a look back at 1994's best movies, a time before Spotify started polluting dead artists' pages with AI-generated songs.

Real-time Feature Generation at Lyft // MLOps Podcast #334 with Rakesh Kumar, Senior Staff Software Engineer at Lyft.Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinInGet the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter// AbstractThis session delves into real-time feature generation at Lyft. Real-time feature generation is critical for Lyft where accurate up-to-the-minute marketplace data is paramount for optimal operational efficiency. We will explore how the infrastructure handles the immense challenge of processing tens of millions of events per minute to generate features that truly reflect current marketplace conditions. Lyft has built this massive infrastructure over time, evolving from a humble start and a naive pipeline. Through lessons learned and iterative improvements, Lyft has made several trade-offs to achieve low-latency, real-time feature delivery. MLOps plays a critical role in managing the lifecycle of these real-time feature pipelines, including monitoring and deployment. We will discuss the practicalities of building and maintaining high-throughput, low-latency real-time feature generation systems that power Lyft's dynamic marketplace and business-critical products.// BioRakesh Kumar is a Senior Staff Software Engineer at Lyft, specializing in building and scaling Machine Learning platforms. Rakesh has expertise in MLOps, including real-time feature generation, experimentation platforms, and deploying ML models at scale.

Technology is now involved in all industries, and there is a need for a critical and ethical approach to technology's development and integration into daily life for the betterment of all.Greg M. Epstein is the Humanist chaplain at both Harvard and MIT, and also the author of the books  Tech Agnostic: How Technology Became the World's Most Powerful Religion, and Why It Desperately Needs a Reformation and Good Without God: What a Billion Nonreligious People Do Believe.In this episode, Greg discusses the concept of humanistic chaplaincy, its historical roots, and the emergence and acceptance of humanism as an alternative to theistic religions.. Greg explains the idea that technology, specifically the tech industry, functions as a modern religion complete with its own beliefs, practices, and influence over human lives. He also discusses the potential wins and pitfalls of this new 'tech religion' and the need for a reformation akin to that of historical religious movements. They also focus on the ethical implications of tech's pervasive role in society and compare it to traditional religions. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The belief system behind Silicon Valley19:15: This is the myth of the Silicon Valley unicorn. You're disruption, right? You are going to disrupt taxi cabs and you are going to get Uber and Lyft. You are going to disrupt, you know, on and on and on, right? And so, what I would say is that the religion is a religion that we actually are teaching a lot of young people today. I mean, we may not frame it as a religion, but to say that it's simply, "We're just doing an MBA, man, it's fine." Like, "We're just teaching people how to run a company." Like no, you're teaching people a very particular ideology for how they should relate to who they are as humans, how they should relate to their fellow human beings, what it is to be a good person and live a good life, and how we should structure communities. Because our entire society is structured around the whims and ideals of this religion now.Reclaiming humanity from tech worship30:58: The technologies that were created should be about making human lives more human and humane, not getting people to devote themselves more and more fanatically to tech, as if it were the God that demanded jealously that we worship it.When AI becomes a god  46:40: The biggest problem in the world today, they have been saying for years now, is not climate change or nuclear war, or the lack of ethics, or authoritarianism, or what—it's unaligned AI. And that they have been advising through their 80,000 Hours website. Effective ultras have, for years now, said that any young person wanting to do the most good should put their efforts, their life, their 80,000 hours of work—which, by the way, is a lot of work... They should put their 80,000 hours of work into making sure that this tech God that we are building likes us and, you know, likes us back, worships us back, or at least takes good care of us, as we are now becoming its flock. And that, to me, is—as bizarre as any other theological tenet I have ever read about in 30 years of feeling.Show Links:Recommended Resources:HumanismJonathan HaidtConstantine the GreatTechnopolyMillenarianismRay KurzweilElon MuskSMART RecoverySam AltmanSatya NadellaLudditeEffective AltruismSam Bankman-FriedWilliam MacAskillGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Harvard UniversityFaculty Profile at MITProfile on WikipediaHumanistChaplaincy.orgGuest Work:Amazon Author PageTech Agnostic: How Technology Became the World's Most Powerful Religion, and Why It Desperately Needs a ReformationGood Without God: What a Billion Nonreligious People Do Believe

“We've had a phenomenal recovery,” Paul Schatz says, with new highs hitting well before he expected. He thinks the foundations of the market are still solid but thinks there will be a 3Q pullback of 2%-5% before a rally in 4Q. He also expects market tailwinds through 2026. In general, he's looking for positions in less volatile stocks while “pruning” gains from portfolio winners. He likes Waste Management (WM), Lyft (LYFT), and American Water Works (AWK).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In this special Market Mondays clip, the hosts dive deep into why Uber might just be the sleeper stock of the decade. Troy Millings breaks down his bullish long-term view on Uber, especially as the company stands to benefit from the coming wave of autonomous vehicles. With competitors like Waymo pushing into new markets and the constant talk around Tesla and robo-taxis, is Uber's powerful platform and trusted brand its ultimate edge?The conversation unpacks how autonomous vehicle partnerships could revolutionize Uber, especially as driver costs are the biggest expense for the company. Food delivery isn't left out—imagine a world where your meals arrive without a driver, putting even more revenue right into Uber's pocket.Ian Dunlap and Rashad Bilal join in to discuss Uber's recent stock performance, its impressive turnaround from the low $20s in 2022, and why the company isn't even at $100 per share yet. They touch on Uber's competition with Lyft, the fallout from the old Uber vs. Google/Waymo lawsuit, and why Uber remains the household name despite the ride-sharing wars.If you're curious about investing strategies, Troy also breaks down *leap options*: what they are, why he prefers to go out as far as possible (sometimes 2–3 years ahead), and how deep-in-the-money strikes can maximize gains while minimizing risk. He throws in a reference to how prominent figures like Nancy Pelosi use similar long-term option strategies for major blue-chip stocks, and explains his personal approach to playing Uber for the long game.Whether you're an investor in the tech space, a fan of finance news, or you just want the inside scoop on where ride-sharing and delivery is heading, this clip packs actionable insight you won't want to miss.*Topics covered:* Uber's potential in autonomous vehicles The competition (Waymo, Lyft, Tesla's robo-taxi ambitions) The importance of trust and platform dominance in ride-sharing How autonomous food delivery could boost Uber's revenue Explanation of leap options and “deep-in-the-money” strategies Real-world examples from high-profile investors The reason Uber's stock price could soon reflect its full potentialStay tuned for more Market Mondays as we bring you fresh takes, real numbers, and strategies from the streets to the boardroom.*Don't forget to like, subscribe, and comment with your thoughts or questions below!* #Uber #MarketMondays #Stocks #Investing #AutonomousVehicles #OptionsTrading #LeapOptions #Finance #Rideshare #TechStocks #Waymo #Tesla #FinancialEducation #StockMarket #LongTermInvestingOur Sponsors:* Check out PNC Bank: https://www.pnc.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
