Jay explains how this space could follow a similar path to the obesity drug market, which saw rapid growth after the release of breakthrough treatments.

Interview with Tom Hickey, Managing Director, Kenmare ResourcesRecording date: 16th July 2025Kenmare Resources operates one of the world's most significant titanium dioxide mineral sands mines in Mozambique, establishing itself as the third-largest global producer of ilmenite, zircon, and rutile. With nearly 40 years of in-country presence and 20 years in production, the company's Moma mine represents a cornerstone investment in the critical minerals sector, backed by an extraordinary 80-90 year reserve life.The company is currently executing its largest capital investment program in history, allocating $340 million to relocate primary mining operations to the Nataka orebody, which contains 70% of total reserves. This strategic transition, including two new $66 million dredgers and enhanced processing capacity, is expected to increase production by 20% while eliminating long-standing capacity constraints. Managing Director Tom Hickey, who brings extensive natural resources experience from his tenure at Tullow Oil, describes this as "the final major investment required to secure the mine's long-term future."Despite challenging market conditions characterized by oversupply from Chinese concentrate producers, Kenmare maintains exceptional operational resilience. The company achieved 40% EBITDA margins in 2024, demonstrating the effectiveness of its cost optimization strategies and premium product positioning. Market consolidation works in Kenmare's favor, with one customer noting their supplier base contracted from eight to two over seven years, highlighting the value of established, reliable producers.The company's ESG credentials provide additional competitive advantages, with 95% renewable energy usage delivering products with exceptionally low carbon footprints. This positioning becomes increasingly valuable as industrial customers focus on supply chain sustainability.Post-capex completion in 2-3 years, Kenmare expects to generate substantial free cash flow, supporting dividend payments and potential shareholder returns. With strong government relationships in Mozambique and a conservative balance sheet carrying net debt of $80-85 million, the company offers investors exposure to a multi-generational asset in the essential materials sector during a cyclical market trough.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/kenmare-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

About the Lecture: The American Constitution is the world's oldest. It was designed by our Founders to withstand the storms of faction, geographic expansion, war – and even Civil War. The Founders studied history. They knew that democracies always fail. Plato writes in The Republic that “democracies always become tyrannies.” How is it that our 235-year-old Constitution still governs our land? In a phrase - “checks and balances”. The Constitution has internal mechanisms that, while imperfect, were created because men are quite imperfect. Just as sailor must tack back and forth to reach his destination, the Constitution forces us to share and exchange the leavers of power to keep the ship of state from floundering and on course. When someone says, “the Electoral College is un-democratic”, a fair reply may be - “Of course it is. We are a republic, not a democracy.” Even so, America is much more democratic than most all republics in choosing a head of state. Was Mr. Churchill's name on the ballots of all Englishmen? Was Mr. Trudeau's name on the ballots of all Canadians? Decidedly not. We will explore why virtually all sustained republics embrace “checks and balances” and a “two-step” electoral processes - not simple majority rule. There is nothing simple about self-government About the Speaker: Mr. Michael C. Maibach is a seasoned professional in global business diplomacy. From 2003 to 2012, he was the President & CEO of the European-American Business Council after serving for 18 years as the Vice President of Global Government Affairs for the Intel Corporation. Today, he is a Trustee and Managing Director of the James Wilson Institute, and a Distinguished Fellow on American Federalism at Save Our States. Mr. Maibach has earned M.A. degrees from Northern Illinois University, Georgetown University, Ashland University, and The Institute of World Politics, where he also serves as a member of our Honorary Board of Advisors. He frequently speaks at schools and civic groups to discuss and defend the Founders' Constitution and their Electoral College design.

In this episode of the CE Pro Podcast, Paul Williams, Managing Director of Home Management Solutions at Nice, discusses his recent advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill as part of CEDIA's second annual Smart Home Day. The conversation focuses on why direct engagement with lawmakers is essential for the continued growth and innovation of the smart home industry.Williams outlines several key policy issues raised during meetings with Congressional staff, including the need for tariff relief on specific imported products, support for the CHIPS and Science Act to bolster domestic semiconductor production, and backing for the Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow's Workforce Act, which expands 529 savings plans to cover trade school and certification programs.The episode underscores how industry-led advocacy efforts are not only elevating the profile of home technology professionals but also shaping future discussions around emerging topics like artificial intelligence and data privacy. Williams encourages broader participation from integrators and manufacturers to ensure the industry's voice is heard as regulations continue to evolve.

How did a 180-year-old Italian digestif become one of America's most beloved bar staples? Though Fernet-Branca has enjoyed a storied legacy in Europe since its creation in 1845, it remained a niche curiosity in the United States for much of its life. The intensely bitter, herbal liqueur was appreciated only by the most adventurous palates. Today, however, it's a fixture behind the bar from upscale cocktail lounges to neighborhood dive bars, most often knocked back in shot form and celebrated for its distinct flavor profile. Who better to trace Fernet-Branca's unlikely rise than Edoardo Branca, managing director of Branca USA and a sixth-generation member of the family behind the brand? We caught up with Edoardo at spirits industry trade show Bar Convent Brooklyn to talk about how Fernet-Branca earned its cult status in the U.S. He shared insights on the brand's roots, its journey from obscure digestif to bartender favorite, and how the company is carefully evolving to stay relevant in a fast-changing drinks culture. From navigating pricing pressures to expanding the Branca USA portfolio with modern, consumer-focused offerings, Edoardo explains how he is stewarding a legacy while embracing innovation. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Edoardo Branca, Managing Director, Branca USA – Eduardo talks about his journey from Milan (he's an Inter fan) to Southern California and ultimately to New York. He also discusses his current role in which he oversees U.S. operations and highlights the most personally rewarding aspect of his job. Edorado explains how Fernet Branca became popular within the bartender community after gaining traction as a popular shot in 1990s San Francisco, the emotional resonance many have with their first Fernet experience and reflects on the global cultural differences in how it's consumed. He acknowledges generational shifts and concerns about declining alcohol consumption among younger drinkers, but expresses confidence that appreciation for spirits and bar culture will mature with age and experience. Edorado also talks about the growing Branca portfolio, noting that lower-ABV products like Antica Formula vermouth align with growing health-conscious trends and also shares his philosophy on mergers and acquisitions.

Interview with Joe David, Managing Director of Elementos Ltd.Recording date: 10th July 2025Elementos Limited (ASX:ELT) is positioning itself as a unique player in the critical minerals sector through its vertically integrated tin operation spanning from mine to metal production in Spain. The company's flagship Oropesa project in Andalusia has published a robust Definitive Feasibility Study demonstrating $270 million AUD NPV and 26% internal rate of return using conservative $30,000 per tonne tin pricing, well below current market levels around $33,000.The project's compelling economics stem from a differentiated vertical integration strategy. Elementos has secured a 50% option over a Spanish tin smelter located 220 kilometers from the mine site, enabling the company to capture European tin premiums of approximately $1,000 per tonne above London Metal Exchange prices. This integration transforms typical concentrate sales receiving 92-93% payables into 98-99% recovery through smelting, effectively making European smelting operations cost-neutral while accessing premium pricing.Managing Director Joe David emphasizes the strategic scarcity underlying the investment thesis: "The tin market is only 2% of the copper market... if you included every single tin development project that sit within listed companies on any of the exchanges worldwide, I think you can count them on two hands." This scarcity has intensified due to supply disruptions in Myanmar and reduced Chinese smelter utilization rates dropping to 50% from typical 70-80% levels.The company has made substantial permitting progress in mining-friendly Andalusia, which generates 90% of Spain's metallic mining revenue. Elementos is approaching the public exhibition phase, a significant de-risking milestone requiring regulatory confirmation of project feasibility. The recent Metals X investment provides funding runway while multiple parties across equity, debt, and offtake spectrums have engaged in discussions, reflecting strong commercial interest in the limited global tin development pipeline.Elementos' positioning aligns with the European Union's Critical Raw Materials Act and represents the only proposed vertically integrated primary tin operation in Europe, offering investors exposure to both structural tin supply deficits and Europe's strategic mineral security initiatives.View Elementos' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/elementos-limitedSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

As the UK accelerates its transition to a net-zero electricity system, the challenge of maintaining grid stability is growing. 
A key part of a balanced system is large-scale, long-duration flexibility: assets that can store energy when it's abundant and release it when it's needed most.But much of the capacity that can provide it already exists. One of the most mature and proven forms of energy storage - pumped hydro is able to deliver gigawatts of power in seconds, store energy for hours, and provide inertia and frequency response that batteries alone can't match. Despite being decades old, they remain some of the fastest, most reliable, and highest-capacity tools for balancing supply and demand. In a world aiming for net zero, understanding and upgrading these assets is no longer optional, it's essential.In this episode, Delphine Chérel-Sparham - Engie's Managing Director of Hydro UK joins Ed Porter to discuss how ENGIE is breathing new life into two of the UK's most iconic pumped storage assets: Dinorwig and Ffestiniog. Over the conversation, they discuss:
Why pumped hydro remains unmatched for long-duration storage and grid inertia.How ENGIE is modernising vast underground infrastructure.The role of fast-responding, synchronous machines in providing inertia and flexibility to the grid.How repowering legacy assets creates headroom for more renewables on the system.Delphine's engineering journey and her advice for young people considering careers in energy infrastructure.About our guestDelphine is Managing Director of ENGIE's pumped hydro business, where she leads the strategy, operations, and refurbishment of some of Europe's most iconic energy infrastructure. With over 30 years' experience in the energy sector, Delphine has worked across gas, LNG, oil, and renewables. Today, she's focused on revitalising legacy pumped hydro assets like Dinorwig and Ffestiniog, to support the evolving needs of a flexible, decarbonised grid.About Modo EnergyModo Energy helps the owners, operators, builders, and financiers of battery energy storage solutions understand the market - and make the most out of their assets.All of our podcasts are available to watch or listen to on the Modo Energy site.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Wall Street Skinny, we're back with fan-favorite guest Justin Resnick, Managing Director at Evercore, for a deep dive into the evolving world of private equity secondaries. This follow-on to our original “Secondaries 101” episode goes beyond the basics to explore how LP- and GP-led transactions are shaping today's deal landscape. With volatility still roiling the IPO and M&A markets, secondaries have become a vital tool for investors to unlock liquidity—and Justin walks us through the key innovations and trends driving this $200 billion+ market.We get into everything from the rising use of continuation funds to newer, more complex structures like collateralized fund obligations (CFOs) and subscription lines. Justin explains how these tools are being used strategically by endowments, GPs, and secondary buyers alike, and what it all means for fund liquidity, pricing dynamics, and return profiles. We also discuss why single-asset deals are booming, how secondaries are increasingly attracting retail capital, and why this space is becoming one of the hottest desks to recruit into on Wall Street.Plus, we couldn't ignore the headlines—so we weigh in on the growing tension between banks and private equity firms over early recruiting, Goldman's controversial new loyalty oaths, and what the new on-cycle freeze means for junior talent. Whether you're a student considering a finance career, an investor curious about secondaries, or just trying to make sense of how all the pieces fit together, this episode is packed with insight.For a 14 day FREE Trial of Macabacus, click HEREOur Investment Banking and Private Equity Foundations course is LIVEnow with our M&A course included!

This Flashback Friday is from episode 345, published last November 5, 2013. Karen Hudes studied law at Yale Law School and economics at the University of Amsterdam. She worked in the US Export Import Bank of the US from 1980-1985 and in the Legal Department of the World Bank from 1986-2007. She established the Non Governmental Organization Committee of the International Law Section of the American Bar Association and the Committee on Multilateralism and the Accountability of International Organizations of the American Branch of the International Law Association. In 1999 Karen reported the corrupt take-over of the second largest bank in the Philippines. The Bank's Country Director in the Philippines reassigned Karen when she asked him to sign a letter warning the Philippines' government that the Bank could not disburse its loan. Two days after informing the Board's Audit Committee of the cover-up in the Philippines, Karen was reprimanded and placed on probation. The Chair of the World Bank's Audit Committee requested an inquiry into the World Bank's Institutional Integrity Department. The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations followed up with three letters to the World Bank. The World Bank forged documents and fired Karen in contempt of Congress. In 2007 Karen advised the US Treasury Department and US Congress that the US would lose its right to appoint the President of the World Bank if the current American President of the World Bank did not play by the rules. The 66 year old Gentlemen's Agreement that Europe would appoint the Managing Director of the IMF and US would appoint the World Bank President ended in 2010.   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
