Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠ In the Notorious Mass Effect segment, Analytic Dreamz explores Noah Kahan's highly anticipated return with the new single "The Great Divide", released January 30, 2026, as the lead track and title song for his fourth studio album of the same name, arriving April 24, 2026.Following the massive success of Stick Season (2022)—which spawned viral hits, expanded editions in 2023, a Best New Artist Grammy nomination in 2024, and stadium-level touring—the 29-year-old Vermont native delivers his first new music in over a year. "The Great Divide" delves into emotional distance from rapid fame, reflecting on the gap between past and present self, strained ties with hometown friends and family, unsaid words, and unresolved conversations among those who grew up together but drifted apart.The narrative-driven music video—Kahan's first heavily story-focused—co-produced with Mastercard, premieres during the brand's commercial slot in the 2026 Grammy Awards broadcast (Sunday, February 1, 8:00 p.m. ET on CBS/Paramount+). Shot at a single gas station, it uses aging characters to symbolize evolving friendships, group conflicts, time's passage, and growing isolation. Full video streams at priceless.com/noahkahan, with a Mastercard sweepstakes launching post-premiere for Easter egg hunts, offering prizes like listening parties and Priceless Experiences.Recorded across Nashville (piano), Guilford VT (pond-side), Upstate NY (legendary studio), and Only, TN (farm with firetower), the album reunites Kahan with Stick Season producer Gabe Simon and adds Aaron Dessner. Themes center on childhood reflection, family, old friends, Vermont roots, regret, personal growth, and fame's isolating effects—described by Kahan as "the words I would say if I could" and "the fears I dance with before I drift off to sleep."Teased via TikTok's "The Last of the Bugs" account (nodding to "Everywhere, Everything" lyrics) since December 2025, with snippets of "The Great Divide" and possible "Porch Light." An upcoming documentary from Live Nation Productions, Federal Films, Polygram Entertainment, and RadicalMedia traces his arc from Busyhead and I Was / I Am to post-Stick Season stardom.Analytic Dreamz breaks down why this marks Kahan's cinematic, introspective next chapter, amplified by Grammy visibility, brand partnership, and fan-driven momentum—solidifying his shift to album-driven storytelling.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Stewart Alsop interviews Tomas Yu, CEO and founder of Turn-On Financial Technologies, on this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. They explore how Yu's company is revolutionizing the closed-loop payment ecosystem by creating a universal float system that allows gift card credits to be used across multiple merchants rather than being locked to a single business like Starbucks. The conversation covers the complexities of fintech regulation, the differences between open and closed loop payment systems, and Yu's unique background that combines Korean martial arts discipline with Mexican polo culture. They also dive into Yu's passion for polo, discussing the intimate relationship between rider and horse, the sport's elitist tendencies in different regions, and his efforts to build polo communities from El Paso to New Mexico.

Turn-On Technologies is revolutionizing payment systems through behavioral finance by creating a decentralized "float" system. Unlike traditional gift cards that lock customers into single merchants like Starbucks, Turn-On allows universal credit that works across their entire merchant ecosystem. This addresses the massive gift card market where companies like Starbucks hold billions in customer funds that can only be used at their locations.2. The financial industry operates on an exclusionary "closed loop" versus "open loop" system that creates significant friction and fees. Closed loop systems keep money within specific ecosystems without conversion to cash, while open loop systems allow cash withdrawal but trigger heavy regulation. Every transaction through traditional payment processors like Stripe can cost merchants 3-8% in fees, representing a massive burden on businesses.3. Point-of-sale systems function as the financial bloodstream and credit scoring mechanism for businesses. These systems track all card transactions and serve as the primary data source for merchant lending decisions. The gap between POS records and bank deposits reveals cash transactions that businesses may not be reporting, making POS data crucial for assessing business creditworthiness and loan risk.4. Traditional FinTech professionals often miss obvious opportunities due to ego and institutional thinking. Yu encountered resistance from established FinTech experts who initially dismissed his gift card-focused approach, despite the trillion-dollar market size. The financial industry's complexity is sometimes artificially maintained to exclude outsiders rather than serve genuine regulatory purposes.5. The information age is creating a fundamental divide between curious, resourceful individuals and those stuck in credentialist systems. With AI and LLMs amplifying human capability, people who ask the right questions and maintain curiosity will become exponentially more effective. Meanwhile, those relying on traditional credentials without underlying curiosity will fall further behind, creating unprecedented economic and social divergence.6. Polo serves as a powerful business metaphor and relationship-building tool that mirrors modern entrepreneurial challenges. Like mixed martial arts evolved from testing individual disciplines, business success now requires being competent across multiple areas rather than excelling in just one specialty. The sport also creates unique networking opportunities and teaches valuable lessons about partnership between human and animal.7. International financial systems reveal how governments use complexity and capital controls to maintain power over citizens. Yu's observations about Argentina's financial restrictions and the prevalence of cash economies in Latin America illustrate how regulatory complexity often serves political rather than protective purposes, creating opportunities for alternative financial systems that provide genuine value to users.

In this episode of Scratch, Eric sits down with Chris Willingham, Chief Marketing Officer at Brompton Bicycle, to discuss the brand strategy behind Brompton's global expansion. Chris shares how Brompton has grown from a distinctly 'British brand' into a global challenger across markets like China, Japan, the US, and Europe, and why international growth requires a clear point of view on what the brand stands for everywhere, not just what it sells. They dig into how Brompton built a global brand platform designed to scale, including how the team grounded its positioning in both product truth and human truth. Chris explains the thinking behind Living Life Unfolded, why the brand shifted focus from the mechanics of folding to the experience that unfolds once you ride, and how Brompton balances global consistency with the flexibility needed to resonate locally. He also shares how the brand is being rolled out in phases, prioritising focus and internal alignment over big-budget launches. The conversation also explores what this approach means for marketing leadership. Chris reflects on choosing agency partners that fit a challenger brand, the importance of distinctiveness and creative bravery in crowded categories, and how community and culture play a role in global relevance.

Venture capital is often discussed through funding totals and headline deals.But the real signal sits underneath the numbers.In this episode of Couchonomics with Arjun, Arjun is joined by Philip Bahoshy, Founder and CEO of MAGNiTT, to break down what the latest venture data actually says about emerging markets and where capital is really moving.Drawing from MAGNiTT's newest annual report, Philip unpacks the divergence across emerging markets, the growing dominance of the GCC in venture funding, and why Saudi Arabia and the UAE are increasingly shaping the region's venture outcomes. The conversation goes beyond raw numbers to explore liquidity, exits, fund cycles, and what maturity really looks like for venture ecosystems.The episode dives deep into FinTech's continued dominance, the realities behind mega rounds, why exits remain the biggest unlock for founders and investors, and how AI, private credit, and digital assets are reshaping capital allocation.

In this episode of Scratch, Eric sits down with Adrian Rosenkranz, Chief Revenue Officer at Webflow, to explore how AI is fundamentally changing the way brands grow, compete and get discovered. As large language models reshape how people find and evaluate products, Adrian argues that marketing is shifting from a game of clicks and traffic to a game of relevance and answers, where your website, content and brand have to work for both humans and machines at the same time. We're effectively marketing to bots at this point! They dig into what this means in practice for CMOs, from how SEO and content strategies need to evolve, to why many AI initiatives stall inside large organisations. If you're currently trying to bring AI to your marketing team (Who isn't?) then Adrian has some practical guidance and perspectives to share to ensure that your AI initiatives actually deliver something valuable.  The conversation also goes beyond tools and tactics into leadership, creativity and culture. Adrian reflects on lessons from Salesforce, the importance of narrative and design thinking, and why creativity, taste and speed of adaptation are becoming the true sources of differentiation in an AI-native world. It's a wide-ranging discussion about how marketing, growth and brand leadership need to evolve for the next era of the web.Watch the video version of this podcast on YouTube    

Google just made two massive moves in 48 hours, and together, they could reshape how AI interacts with commerce forever.First: the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), an open standard that lets AI agents shop on your behalf. Discovery, checkout, payments, post-purchase, the whole journey, with one common language. Backed by Shopify, Walmart, Target, Visa, Mastercard, and 20+ others.Second: a multi-year deal with Apple. Gemini will power the next generation of Apple Intelligence, including Siri. That's Google's AI running on 2 billion Apple devices.In this episode, I break down what UCP actually is, how it works, why the Apple deal matters, and what this means for merchants, developers, and anyone building for the agentic web.CHAPTERS00:00 – The Anthony Joshua smile meme (and what it has to do with Google) 02:59 – The landscape: AI agents, fragmentation, and the assistant wars 06:36 – What is UCP?

Banking innovation usually gets reduced to apps and features.But the real changes are happening underneath.In this episode of Couchonomics with Arjun, Richard Davies, CEO of Allica Bank, joins the couch to talk about how challenger banks are actually rebuilding SME banking in the UK.Richard breaks down why established SMEs need a very different banking model, why go-to-market is harder than building the technology, and how value, trust, and low cost structures become the real advantage over time.The conversation moves through how digital banking has matured in the UK, what open banking really delivers today, how AI is being used inside regulated banks, and where stablecoins and tokenised money actually make sense and where they do not.An honest discussion on SME credit gaps, the limits of the super-app idea, the role of humans in an AI-led bank, and what the next decade of challenger banking could realistically look like.

Who wouldn't want relief from 20–30% APRs? But dig one layer deeper, and this proposal turns from populist applause line into an economic mess that would hurt the very people it claims to help.In this episode, Chris explains how the credit card industry actually works—who really charges interest, where swipe fees go, and why Visa, Mastercard, and AmEx aren't the villains they're made out to be. Spoiler: banks take the risk, banks charge the interest, and credit cards are largely unsecured, non-recourse loans.Cap rates at 10%, and banks won't suddenly become generous—they'll pull credit, cancel cards, jack up fees, or require cash collateral. Young workers, lower-credit borrowers, and anyone new to the system get squeezed out first. That's how credit rationing works, every time.Chris breaks down why this idea is straight out of the price-control playbook, why it's midterm political theater, and why it can't be enforced without blowing up access to credit across the country.Misusing credit cards is a real problem—but government-mandated rate caps won't fix it. They'll just make credit scarcer, more expensive in other ways, and far less accessible.

We discuss connecting government-issued digital IDs with the private sector to combat fraud and improve user experiences. Sarah breaks down the differences in global adoption, highlighting why the EU is leading the charge with upcoming mandates and how countries like Brazil and India are scaling their programs.

In this episode of The Defiant Podcast, Chris Storaker sits down with Alex Garn, Chief Product Officer at Borderless, to unpack how stablecoins are quietly transforming cross-border payments — and what it actually takes to move money at scale across jurisdictions.Alex walks through Borderless' role as an orchestration layer for global on- and off-ramps, why the company stays out of the flow of funds, and how a single API can replace dozens of fragmented integrations across local regulators, liquidity providers, and banking partners.We explore why stablecoins are moving beyond trading and DeFi collateral into real-world enterprise payments, where they already outperform legacy rails on settlement speed, transparency, and custody — especially across emerging market corridors like Latin America and Southeast Asia.The conversation also digs into the hard parts: liquidity constraints by corridor, KYC and compliance friction, why US–EU payments still favor SWIFT, and whether incumbents like Visa, Mastercard, and SWIFT are more likely to be disrupted or to acquire their way into the future.Finally, Alex shares his outlook on regulatory clarity post-GENIUS, the coming wave of corporate stablecoin adoption, and why distribution — not branding — will determine which stablecoins ultimately win.00:00 — Intro: Alex joins The Defiant Podcast01:30 — From DeFi & data science to stablecoin payments04:10 — What Borderless does: orchestration vs custody07:10 — Why cross-border on/off-ramps are still fragmented10:00 — Stablecoins beyond DeFi: real enterprise payment use cases12:45 — Treasury management, payouts, and B2B adoption15:30 — Liquidity realities: when $10M+ stablecoin payments work18:10 — Why US → Latin America leads stablecoin adoption20:30 — Where stablecoins don't win (yet): US–EU & SWIFT22:50 — KYC as the biggest bottleneck in crypto payments26:00 — Self-custody, bank risk, and corporate treasuries29:30 — Stablecoins vs SWIFT: speed, cost, and settlement33:00 — Visa, Mastercard, SWIFT, and the M&A race36:40 — Regulation after GENIUS and global spillover effects39:40 — What enterprise adoption looks like in the next 2–3 years42:30 — Stablecoin fragmentation, liquidity, and consolidation45:00 — Closing thoughts: what excites Alex most about the future

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Let's be honest. Everyone has seen those YouTube videos that promise “buy these 10 stocks and you'll be rich” or “set it and forget it millionaire portfolio.” This video takes that idea and flips it on its head.Instead of sitting through a 40-minute sales pitch packed with stories and justifications, this breakdown gets straight to what actually matters if you want to make money in the market. Price. Trend. Fear and greed. That's it. No hype. No fantasy portfolios. Just a clear look at whether these so-called wide moat compounding stocks are actually worth touching right now.The video pulls a popular list of stocks straight from the comments and ranks them honestly, from Lambo to food stamps. Some names look decent. Some look stuck. Some are absolute traps if you're buying them for the wrong reasons. This isn't about whether a company is “great” or whether you like the story. It's about whether the stock is positioned to go up.One of the biggest takeaways is how much the market and sector matter. Roughly 40 percent of a stock's move comes from the overall market. About 30 percent comes from the sector. Only the last piece comes from the stock itself. That explains why amazing companies can still bleed money when the environment is wrong. If the wind isn't at your back, you're fighting uphill.You'll also see a deep dive into fear and greed, market breadth, buy and sell signals, and why overhead resistance keeps showing up in the same places again and again. These aren't random lines on a chart. They represent real people who are stuck, emotional, and ready to sell the moment they get back to breakeven.Here's what you'll walk away with after watching:✅ Why price is the only thing that actually pays you as an investor✅ How market, sector, and stock alignment creates easy trades✅ Why buying “cheap” stocks in downtrends usually ends badly✅ How fear turns into greed before big moves happen✅ What crashing up really looks like compared to crashing downThe video covers major names like ASML, Amazon, Visa, Mastercard, GE, Taiwan Semiconductor, Netflix, and more. One stock clearly stands out as the strongest setup. Others show exactly why patience matters and why forcing trades is expensive. Watching these side by side makes the difference between good setups and bad ones painfully obvious.Another big theme here is simplicity. You don't need to dig through financial statements, revenue models, or long-term stories to get paid. If price is rising and greed is increasing, that's where opportunity lives. If fear is rising and trends are breaking, that's when you step aside and protect capital.This is where OVTLYR fits in. The entire goal is to make these signals obvious so you can avoid major drawdowns and focus on stocks that actually want to move higher. Skipping a 20 percent loss can be just as powerful as catching a big winner.If you want trading to feel boring, repeatable, and stress-free, this video is worth your time. Watch how each stock is evaluated, compare the setups, and start thinking in probabilities instead of promises.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this final holiday edition of The Wright Report for the week, Bryan shares economic good news, responds to listener questions about immigration, judges, and American identity, and offers a deeper reflection on what it truly means to be an American in a time of division, foreign influence, and cultural strain. Economic Bright Spots After Christmas: New data from Visa, MasterCard, and American Express show holiday spending rose between four and six percent year over year. GDP growth for the third quarter came in at a strong 4.3%, beating expectations. Bryan notes that while wealthy Americans are still doing well, middle and lower-income families continue to struggle with affordability. He argues the data supports Trump's case that tariffs and deportations did not crash the economy, but instead helped stabilize growth and reduce crime. Crime Falls as Deportations Rise: More than seventeen thousand illegal immigrants have been arrested under the Laken Riley Act, with two and a half million deported or self-deported over the past year. Early crime data suggests declines in murder, robbery, and vehicle theft. Bryan cautions the data is still incomplete but says the trend aligns with common sense and historical experience. Military Recruiting Surges: The U.S. military reported its strongest recruiting numbers in fifteen years. Bryan credits leadership changes at the Pentagon and renewed focus on mission and standards, pushing back on critics who predicted chaos under Secretary Pete Hegseth. Judges, Bias, and the Rule of Law: Listener questions focus on Democrat Judge Hannah Dugan's conviction for helping an illegal immigrant escape her courtroom. Bryan explains why jury reluctance to convict shows the cultural divide remains deep. He also defends his practice of identifying which president appointed judges, arguing that judicial bias is real and supported by Supreme Court reversal data. What It Means to Be an American: Bryan expands on Monday's debate about American identity, pushing back on Vivek Ramaswamy's claim that no American is more American than another. Drawing on the Founders, George Washington's farewell address, and the presidency's constitutional requirements, Bryan argues that allegiance, time in the country, cultural assimilation, and freedom from foreign loyalties all matter. He warns that dismissing heritage and lineage risks turning the United States into a fragmented society similar to modern Europe. Listener Questions and Reflections: The episode closes with unscripted questions on Israel, artificial intelligence and future jobs, personal interests, and Bryan's path from the CIA into broadcasting.
