Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. In this episode, the crew breaks down the return of the ICO — but with a twist. Pump.fun's $500 million token sale sells out in 12 minutes, sparking a heated debate about forward markets, new market structure design, and whether we've entered a smarter, more institutionalized fundraising era—or just rebranded 2017 chaos. Hyperliquid becomes the surprise king of pre-launch liquidity, exchanges buckle under demand, and a new class of crypto treasury vehicles raises eyebrows (and capital). Meanwhile, Trump declares “Crypto Week” as Congress moves forward with the most sweeping legislation the industry's seen in years. Is crypto finally growing up—or just getting better at dumping on retail? The gang dissects the narratives, the numbers, and the fallout.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Geetha Sham, MD and President of CamCom in Europe, and Sathes Singam, innovation scout and programme manager at ERGO Group. In this episode we will explore how ERGO's Venture Client model turned a promising pilot into a production with great capability, then we will investigate what it really takes to deploy AI in regulated multi-market environments, and how governance – if used right – can become a growth accelerator not a roadblock. KEY TAKEAWAYS During initial discussions with our first insurance customer, we realised the process of inspection was time consuming, human heavy, subject to human fatigue resulting in expensive, long cycles and inconsistency. This gap is now filled by our AI model which provides a machine vision eye, using a mobile device accurately capturing images of vehicles which leads to damage assessments, reducing false positives. We want to democratise image capture, hence we have built our product in such a way that it can operate on any type of forum, and mobile devices made since 2016. That makes us a leader in our own area, staying focussed without scattering in the name of trying to do everything ourselves. There has been global adoption of AI – although what it does and how it is used varies – because every industry is seeing the value add. The standard way of implementing it is simple: It has to be aligned to the businesses and should not hamper the existing business or processes that exist within the industry/group. Edge cases must be addresses in a different way and modified so they are not completely controlled by the standard feedback learning. BEST MOMENTS ‘Startup collaboration, in my experience, should become top of management agenda.' ‘It's crucial to have someone locally who knows the culture in their particular country, and knows the people that need to be addressed.' ‘It's all about involving all relevant stakeholders in clear and transparent communication.' ‘Each country has local laws, so there's not only customisation, there's also localisation that has to addressed. That's where the governance model comes in handy.' ABOUT THE GUESTS Geetha Sham is MD and President of CamCom in Europe. She is a seasoned technologist and scale-up strategist who has held senior roles at Oracle and Mindtree and is now building out CamCom's European footprint from Dusseldorf. Sathes Singam is an innovation scout and programme manager at ERGO Group. He is the lynchpin behind ERGO's deployment of CamCOm across the Baltics, Europe's first testbed of this solution. ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur. She is the CEO and Managing Partner of Alchemy Crew a venture lab that accelerates the curation, validation, & commercialization of new tech business models.

Brock Freeman, Managing Partner and COO of Kirkland Capital Group, provides loans to this segment of the market where there's far less competition, and therefore better returns for investors.

In this episode, Kaavya sits down with Nicki Boyd, founder and managing partner of Sphera Partners, who shares her unique journey from a lifelong athlete to a seasoned investor now dedicated to the women's sports ecosystem. Nicki explains why investing in women's sports has transitioned from a DEI initiative to a compelling commercial opportunity, fully justified on an ROI basis, driven by a "flywheel" effect increasing fandom, production quality, and all three key revenue streams. They delve into Sphera Partners' "double bottom line" philosophy, their first investment in Upshot, a developmental women's basketball league in the US, and Nicki's long-term vision for both commercial success and societal impact in women's sports, focusing on community access, athlete well-being, and career transition.

This week, we are bringing to you a special episode of Wrongful Conviction with Maggie Freleng featuring Selma Butler. Maggie has returned to share this remarkable story with you, and to set the stage for another special announcement next week alongside Pulitzer Prize-winning author and creator of the Bone Valley podcast, Gilbert King. So please make sure and check in next Wednesday, July 16th. On November 13, 1995, Angela Young was stabbed to death in her apartment which was located in a building that was controlled by the Gangster Disciples in Chicago, IL.

Gino was acquitted, the witness recanted, yet Selma was sentenced to 50 years in prison. In this episode, Maggie talks with Selma Butler and Ashley Cohen, Managing Partner at Bonjean Law Group and founder of ABC Reentry, a nonprofit helping people rebuild their lives after incarceration.

In a world where 17% of all electricity is generated from wind and solar and where 93% of all new capacity added to the grid is from renewables, it can be easy to forget that countries got their first wind and solar resources within just the last few years. And in fact, some countries are still waiting for their first. Today on Cleaning Up, we're joined by Daniel Calderon, Founder and Managing Partner of Alcazar Energy Partners. Daniel has made it a specialty of going into countries overlooked by others, building their first wind and solar farms, and as he explains, doing it profitably. Leadership Circle: Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP of Portugal, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

In this eye-opening and insightful discussion, Chris Perkins, Managing Partner and President of CoinFund and macro thinker and founder of Visserlabs, Jordi Visser, explore the profound impacts of AI and crypto on the future of the global economy and investment landscape. Jordi argues we will soon see a significant societal and financial shift: that traditional business cycles are dead, the Fortune 500 will not exist and Stablecoins are the bridge to the future. Thanks to legislation like the “Genius Act” and “Clarity Act”, Jordi feels investors and financial institutions will see Stablecoins as a critical bridge between traditional and digital investing — and give an accessible money alternative to people in countries with volatile currencies. Jordi and Chris also talk about ALT coins, including what they see as a big boom coming for Ethereum and Robinhood's breakthrough act to take private equity public through tokenization.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Joel Agard, Group Head of Innovation at Zurich Insurance, who has been driving bold, transformative startup collaborations across 40+ markets. His work has reshaped the way a global insurance giant works with startups, proving that innovation isn't just about flashy tech – it's about building real, meaningful partnerships that deliver results. From navigating the early days of Zurich's Innovation Championship back in 2018 to scaling the program during a global pandemic – and now leading the charge into the future – Joel brings passion, strategy, and a touch of risk-taking to every conversation. KEY TAKEAWAYS The football World Cup in 2018 inspired us to piggyback on the concept of a competition to try and raise awareness of corporate/startup partnerships. Back then, working with startups in our industry wasn't the norm, we were working with big technology companies. We asked ourselves; how can we show the art of the possible and show that working with startups can really work? This is when we invented the Zurich Innovation World Championship. In the beginning the pace that startups wanted to – and could – go didn't always resonate with the pace Zurich wanted to go. We had to align expectations and create a safe environment where we could test fast and where it was OK to fail. I've fallen in love with cool technologies so many times, and I still do: I'm a geek. But, we had to learn that if these shiny, amazing technologies don't really solve a problem for our customers or internal stakeholders, it's not fit for purpose for us. It might be that it's too early or is not a good fit for us. BEST MOMENTS ‘We at Zurich bring our reputation, brand, and insurance expertise from 150 years. Startups bring agility and speed because they are born in a digital world.' ‘Failing in a big corporate often doesn't have a good image. We've proved that failing fast and cheap is something we can achieve and is beneficial for the startups. It's now a normal part of our process.' ‘The Covid pandemic accelerated digital transformations, there were a lot of opportunities out there to accelerate our initiatives, so increased the number of startups, pilots.' ‘It's crucial to understand the gaps and problems you want to solve because we'd be wasting each other's time otherwise.' ABOUT THE GUEST Joel Agard is Group Head of Innovation at Zurich Insurance. With a career dedicated to fostering groundbreaking solutions, Joel spearheads Zurich's Venture Client Startup Engine, a program that drives innovation across 40+ markets worldwide. His work focuses on bridging the gap between startups and corporate needs, enabling Zurich to leverage cutting-edge technologies and solutions to stay ahead in the ever-evolving insurance landscape.

“If you cannot change the system, change the frigging system… Women, when we have our money, are more likely to start an impact fund business or something. So, we have really got to get out of our way and just take the risk. " Tracy Gray at The Earth Day Women's Summit 2025 Innovative financing models are urgently needed to tackle the climate crisis, but significant gaps persist. Research shows that women and people of color deliver stronger returns yet continue to be underrepresented. Meanwhile, the insurance industry must confront the mounting risks of climate disasters.   So how can our financial systems better support women-led and minority-owned businesses, fund climate resilience and provide high return of investments?  Listen to this live recording of a riveting panel at The Earth Day Women's Summit at Earthx2025, moderated by Kristina Wyatt, Chief Sustainability Officer & Deputy General Counsel, Persefoni. You'll hear from Enya He, consultant with Munich Re and insurance industry expert, on how the insurance sector is confronting escalating climate risks. Shelly Porges, Managing Partner, Beyond the Billion, who shares strategies for women to access capital and build powerful allyships. Tracy Gray, Founder & Managing Partner of The 22 Fund, who sheds light on the systemic barriers that women and people of color face in securing venture capital. Kristina Wyatt, Chief Sustainability Officer & Deputy General Counsel, Persefoni.   “One strategy that I encourage every woman to consider, is to make men your allies because they control most of the assets. Not all men will be your allies. But if you look at the men in your lives who have been supportive of you or know what you're capable of, who have seen how hard you've worked, who've seen your successes, who have seen how much you've influenced other people, all of the above, then you can make men your allies.” Shelly Porges at The Earth Day Women's Summit 2025   You'll also like: Climate Is A Security Emergency – from The Earth Day Women's Summit 2025, with a top climate scientist and geopolitical expert Food, Fashion & Ag vs. Climate Change – from The Earth Day Women's Summit 2025, with top scientists and innovators in these fields What's The Role Of Business Today In Addressing The Climate Crisis? - from The Earth Day Women's Summit 2025, with top business leaders Rewriting The Climate Conversation - - from The Earth Day Women's Summit 2025, with top communicators, including a Hollywood producer and conservative voice Shelly Porges, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Beyond the Billion Dollar Fund, on funding women entrepreneurs Kristina Wyatt, Chief Sustainability Officer & Deputy General Counsel, Persefoni, on climate disclosure rules.

Think negotiation is just for boardrooms and big business deals? Think again.  Negotiation is everywhere, whether you're asking for a raise, buying a car, or convincing your kids to brush their teeth. And if you're doing it without empathy, you're leaving results (and relationships) on the table. Today's guest is Andres Lares, Managing Partner at the Shapiro Negotiations Institute. He's helped close multi-million dollar contracts – including a $184M MLB deal – and now trains leaders at Fortune 500 companies, pro sports teams, and global organizations on how to influence with intention. He's also the author of Persuade: The 4-Step Process to Influence People and Decisions. Negotiating with Emotional Intelligence Forget bluffing and bravado. Andres explains why emotional intelligence is the real power play in any negotiation – whether you're leading a team, buying a business, or parenting toddlers. You'll learn how to read the room, ask better questions, and use empathy to get what you want without damaging relationships. If you've ever felt like your message isn't landing, this conversation's for you. The 3P and PAID Frameworks You Can Use Right Now Most people wing the negotiation phase and wonder why their deals fall through. Andres shares two simple, repeatable frameworks you can plug into any negotiation today: 3P (Prepare, Probe, Propose) and PAID (Precedents, Alternatives, Interests, Deadlines). These tools help you think clearly, ask the right questions, and walk into every conversation with a strategy that puts you in control. Whether you're making your next hire or negotiating a partnership, this is your blueprint.

We're just giving the methodology and skills in order to be able to balance the relationship building with the results.” 10:38 - 10:50 “You'll notice, for example, the other person talks much slower, or has a lot of questions early on, or is always asking for information in advance. Well, you start to pick up on those cues, and you start to realize, okay, this meeting's gonna be more effective if I send it in advance.” 17:00 - 17:10 “So if you don't think you're worth $75,000, you're probably not going to be able to make that ask from a salary perspective in a very convincing way, because you don't even believe it.” Quotes “Think about every scenario. You negotiate. You negotiate with your kids, you're negotiating salary.” “The phrase we always talk about is maximizing your objectives while satisfying the other side.” “There's a relationship component, and an emotional intelligence component, which really has to be at the forefront.” “I've never actually applied for a job I've got. It's been relationships in my network.” “People make decisions emotionally, and then they justify rationally.” Links mentioned in this episode: From Our Guest Website: https://www.shapironegotiations.com/  Connect with Andres Lares on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreslares/  Connect with brandiD Download our free guide to learn 16 crucial website updates that attract more leads and convert visitors into clients: https://thebrandid.com/website-tweaks/ Ready to elevate your digital presence with a powerful brand or website?  Contact us here: https://thebrandid.com/contact-form/
