We're back after our collective grass touching. Garrett and Kyle have toured Florida and return to, what ever all this is. Collective Shout is taking down Games with the help of Mastercard?

This week on VG Pulse, a lot of things blew up all at once! We start off with side notes of how miserable this summer is, before diving into the multiple fallouts of the last week! Including but not limited to, Ironmouse pulling the pin on the VShojo grenade and igniting a VTuber revolt, Visa and Mastercard pushing for hardcore censorship of media, and multiple platforms trying to force people to hand over their ID and/or face in order to use the internet! After the news we finish off with talk of food and anime! All this and more up next on VGP 421!!

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1110: Today we cover Trump's sweeping auto tariffs, Tesla's not‑so‑autonomous “Robotaxi” rollout, and the rise of agentic checkout in online retail.Show Notes with links:President Trump's country-by-country auto tariff deadline has arrived, setting off a new round of trade negotiations and recalibrations for global automakers.Canadian tariffs rise to 35%, though most USMCA-compliant vehicles dodge the hike.Mexico earns a 90-day delay on new tariffs, holding at 25% on non-U.S. content.Japan and South Korea cut tariffs to 15% with total pledges of $900B to U.S. industryJapan is also willing to take American imports based on U.S. standards, meaning American OEMs don't need to make a different car.“You can take the car you make in Detroit, put it on a boat and send it,” said U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.Tesla's long-hyped “Robotaxi” expansion into the Bay Area looks more like a rebranded Uber than a self-driving revolution. The cars run under Tesla's app but still rely on humans behind the wheel.Each car has a “safety monitor” in the driver's seat, making it equivalent to an Uber driver using Tesla's supervised Full Self‑Driving system.The California DMV and Public Utilities Commission expressed concern after hearing Tesla employees discuss an imminent Robotaxi launch, even though the company has not applied for the required permits.Politico reported that Tesla's counsel reassured regulators, claiming the rollout was limited to employees, friends, family, and select members of the public.Tesla is now actively recruiting “vehicle operators” in nine additional U.S. cities to replicate the Bay Area service.“Agentic checkout” is the latest frontier for artificial intelligence. Payment giants, tech platforms, and retailers are all racing to build systems that let AI handle more of the shopping journey.Mastercard, Visa, Google, and PayPal are each rolling out agentic checkout platforms, designed to let AI act as a shopper's digital assistant.PayPal is upgrading its decades‑old systems to handle the heavier transaction loads expected from AI‑driven commerce.Experts say the winners will be payment providers and e‑commerce platforms that build the infrastructure for AI agents rather than compete with them.Michelle Gill, GM of small business and financial services at PayPal said that The general sense in the industry is that “rather than competing, these stakeholders increasingly collaborate to harness the potential of agentic AI.”Mastercard's Co‑President of Global Partnerships, Sherri Haymond, said retailers won't need to replace entire platforms: “I would encourage merchants to have an open mind, and to lean in and do the work to make their environment accessible in this Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

The government has announced it intends to ban surcharges at the till. Whether it'll actually lead to lower prices though is unclear, the retail sector has warned businesses may have to pass on those costs somehow. But the government has warned businesses not to, citing a big reduction in the fees they pay to accept Visa and Mastercard payments. Giles Dexter reports.

Many businesses are up in arms about the government's decision to ban surcharges on PayWave and Visa and Mastercard credit card transactions by May next year. Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister Scott Simpson spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The government is moving to ban surcharges on PayWave but it's only for Visa and Mastercard and doesn't include online purchases. Retail New Zealand chief executive Carolyn Young spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

In 2021, Krafton splashed huge cash on Subnautica dev Unknown Worlds.

This attack is motivated by an Australian Christofacist group called Collective Shout that, among other things, does not believe adults should have bodily autonomy.  If you would like your voice heard, here are some resources: A compiled resource document by @voiddebris.bsky.social Petitions Change.org ACLU Mastercard Phone (US): 1-800-627-8372 Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111 Online submission form Visa Phone (US): 1-800-847-2911 Non-US numbers Online form Some important tips: Phone calls are more impactful than emails. Do not let support reps push you to email, where keywords can filter out your concerns. Keep support reps on calls as long as possible. This creates meaningful and measurable dips in call center productivity that management WILL notice. Call multiple times with the same case number. Call center KPIs include clearing tickets in as short a time and in one call. This is another metric that will grab leadership attention.

Yes, this is another podcast about AI in PR BUT the difference between this and other content on the topic is; I guarantee that in 30minutes you'll feel confident to talk to your stakeholders about their new online reputation strategy and you'll have your first 5 steps in how to get started. This is your practical introduction to PR and AI Search strategy. In this episode I interview Celia Harding, the founder of LEOPRD, the world's first sole PR and AI Search visibility agency. After two decades in PR working with global giants like Google, Diageo and Mastercard to underground festivals and upstart founders, Celia spotted a shift every agency is still sleeping on: Large language models (LLMs) are quietly deciding who gets seen, heard and trusted. they don't read ads. They read earned media. Celia jumped on this opportunity at the beginning of the year and hasn't looked back and she joins the PR Resolution Podcast to share her learnings so far, how to talk to clients, how to adapt your strategy and what tools you need. This episode is full of tips you can take straight into meetings on Monday.

Send us a textThe cryptocurrency onboarding experience remains a critical bottleneck for mainstream adoption, with the entire Web3 ecosystem claiming just 370 million monthly active users compared to Meta's staggering 3.9 billion. How do we bridge this massive gap?Harshit Gangwar, Head of Marketing and Investor Relations at Transak, joins us to reveal how they've built the infrastructure powering crypto purchases for millions through MetaMask, Ledger, Uniswap, and 450+ other applications across 100+ countries. With $2 billion in processed volume and backing from consensus, Visa, and Mastercard, Transak offers unique insights into building trust at the intersection of decentralized and traditional finance."Finding the right messaging and understanding in the early stages that it's going to be different and accepting that as a fact is very much important," Harshit explains as he unpacks their dual communication strategy. Web3 natives and traditional financial institutions require completely different approaches – from platform selection (Twitter vs. LinkedIn) to messaging tone and compliance considerations across multiple regulatory jurisdictions.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Harshit reveals how Transak is evolving beyond simple crypto purchases to enable stablecoin-powered remittances and cross-border payments. By building the necessary infrastructure – including licenses, banking partnerships, risk engines, and KYC systems – they're creating real-world utility that even traditional financial institutions are beginning to recognize.For Web3 marketers, Harshit leaves us with a powerful reminder: "Marketers need to take that role in their companies to understand what's happening in the industry and drive real change." The most effective marketing leaders in this space aren't just creating content – they're deeply understanding both the technology and customer needs to help shape product direction and business strategy.Join us for this enlightening conversation about building trust, navigating regulation, and creating the infrastructure that will help bring the next billion users into Web3.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on June 18, 2025.

Last week, the U.S. passed its first major piece of crypto legislation. Stablecoins now have a legal home, and that could open the floodgates for adoption, disruption, and regulation. But is this just the beginning? In this episode of Bits + Bips, Ram Ahluwalia, Noelle Acheson, Steve Ehrlich, and guest Cosmo Jiang of Pantera dive into what the stablecoin law actually means, who it helps, who it threatens, and why Wall Street and crypto startups alike are positioning fast. They also cover Ethereum's rally, what's fueling it, and whether the boom in digital asset treasury companies is sustainable.

Esta semana hacemos algo un poco distinto y también hablamos de videojuegos, así que Edu te cuenta de que estuvo jugando al Legend of Mana, que empezó y terminó el Boxes: Lost Fragments y arrancó el Beyond Good and Evil Remastered.

Brian takes a deep dive into the future of money—especially stablecoins and how they might flip the whole payment system on its head. He breaks it down in plain English: what stablecoins are, how they could replace Visa and Mastercard, and why it actually matters to you.

In this episode of the HAYVN Hubcast, host Nancy Sheed is joined by Petra Pasquina, a seasoned marketer turned tech entrepreneur and the creator of Groopl, a purpose-built app that makes it easier for small groups to connect, communicate, and stay organized. Petra shares her fascinating journey from corporate roles at Meta and MasterCard to founding a startup aimed at solving one of the most frustrating pain points of modern group life: the chaos of managing logistics across multiple platforms. “I always look for that white space… a place where people aren't being spoken to in the right way or there's an opportunity.” After years of helping brands speak more clearly to their customers, including launching MasterCard's first Latinx marketing strategy, Petra saw a major opportunity to build something of her own. Fueled by pandemic-era isolation and digital overwhelm, Groopl was born to simplify and humanize the act of gathering. “I found myself using five different tools just to get a tennis group together—and even then, half the people didn't show up.”  Petra breaks down how Groopl combines the best parts of group chats, event invites, calendars, and community feeds all in one place. Designed especially for the unsung heroes who organize everything from volunteer circles to networking meetups, Groopl helps make connecting feel easy again.  Currently available for free on iOS and Android, GROOPL is rolling out new features, including a pro tier for paid event organizers and a future enterprise version for larger organizations. Whether you're organizing a book club, a mastermind, or a neighborhood meetup, Petra and Groopl are making the act of gathering simpler, smoother, and more joyful.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela unpack the rise of humanoid robots in public spaces, starting with a four-foot AI-powered android nicknamed the “Rizzbot” that was recently spotted walking through traffic in West Hollywood. The discussion shifts to Detroit, where another robot was seen roaming 7 Mile — before allegedly being robbed. The crew questions what these robot sightings say about the future of tech in daily life and how quickly novelty crosses into absurdity. They pivot to current headlines, reacting to a $3 million airport drug bust in Atlanta and Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins' arrest for domestic battery. From there, they examine a Baltimore pastor's run-in with teen carjackers and highlight Pope Francis' unexpected tweets about Spirit Airlines and Mastercard. The show circles back to Detroit, where a van crashes through a brick wall and bystanders quickly turn into opportunistic looters, raising questions about urban decay and collective impulse. Later, they revisit the case of Jacqueline Ades, an Arizona woman charged after sending over 159,000 texts to a man she met once, and reflect on what modern obsession looks like in the digital age.

Sam Lewis is the CEO and Founder of Fruitful, a fintech company reimagining financial advice for millennials and Gen Z. Fruitful offers a $98 monthly membership that combines certified financial planners (actual humans) with AI-powered technology to create personalized "money systems" that automatically allocate incoming funds across bills, spending, and goals. Lewis discusses his background at Mastercard and how he witnessed traditional banks underserving younger customers, leading him to launch Fruitful in 2023.The conversation explores Fruitful's unique approach of maintaining human advisors rather than going fully AI-driven, their focus on "income allocation" over "asset allocation," and their transparent pricing model that forgoes hidden fees and even interchange revenue.
