From new cancer drugs to batteries and robotics – China's top-tier growth companies are forging paths of their own rather than following in the west's footsteps. Investment manager Sophie Earnshaw names companies that have caught her eye and explains why being a long-term stock picker differs in China from elsewhere. Background:Sophie Earnshaw is a decision-maker on our China Equities Strategy and joint manager of the Baillie Gifford China Growth Trust. In this conversation, she tells Short Briefings… host Leo Kelion about a select group of Chinese companies breaking new ground, supported by the state's efforts to become self-sufficient in more of today's critical technologies and a leader in some of those of the future. Earnshaw also details how the “phenomenal rate” at which companies are born, scale and die in the country makes stock-picking a challenging task – making the access we have to company leaders, academics and other local expertise core to our mission of finding the best firms to invest in on behalf of our clients. Portfolio companies discussed include:- CATL – the battery maker whose products power electric vehicles worldwide and increasingly support the renewable energy sector- BeOne and Innovent Biologics – pharmaceutical firms developing the next generation of cancer drugs - AMEC and NAURA – semiconductor equipment makers enabling China to develop increased self-reliance in computer chips - Alibaba, ByteDance and Tencent – China's ‘big tech' companies, whose artificial intelligence tools are becoming embedded into people's daily lives- MiniMax – the AI startup rolling out video and agentic tools at a fraction of the cost of western counterparts- Horizon Robotics – the automated driving tech provider with its eye on an even bigger opportunity. Resources:Baillie Gifford podcastsChina: a tale of two storiesChina investment strategy hub (institutional clients only)House of HuaweiPrivate investor forum 2025: investing in great growth companiesTrip notes: on the road with Baillie Gifford China Growth Trust  Companies mentioned include:AlibabaAMECASMLBeOneByteDanceCATLHorizon RoboticsInnovent BiologicsJiangsu HengruiHuaweiMiniMaxSamsungNAURATencentTSMCXiaohongshu Timecodes:00:00  Introduction01:55   Joining the China Equities Strategy02:40  Intense competition04:00  The government's influence06:10   CATL, the electrification champion08:45  Investing with a 5-year time horizon10:25   Shanghai office, local expertise11:45   Regulations and geopolitics14:30   China's next Five-year Plan16:15   Innovent Biologics' new cancer drugs18:10   Lower-cost clinical trials19:45   Being selective in semiconductors21:25   Investing in chip equipment makers23:00  China's ‘big tech and AI'25:10   MiniMax making AI like ‘tap water'27:45  The road to robotics29:35  A market you can't ignore30:30  Book choice Glossary of terms (in order of mention): Third plenum: a major policy meeting of China's ruling Communist Party, often used to set big economic/political direction.Sovereign bond issuance: The government raising money by selling bonds (IOUs) to investors.Opportunity set: the range of investable companies available to choose from.Capex: capital expenditure – money spent on long-term assets like factories, equipment, or data centres.Fiscal deficit target: how much more the government plans to spend than it collects in revenue (taxes plus other income), expressed as a share of the economy.GDP: gross domestic product – the total value of goods and services a country produces in a year.Market capitalisation: the total value of a company's shares (share price × number of shares).ESG: environmental, social and governance – how a company manages environmental impact, people issues, and corporate oversight.Large-form batteries: big battery packs used in things like electric vehicles and grid storage.Energy storage systems: large batteries that store electricity for later use (helping balance the grid).Generic drugs: copies of medicines whose patents have expired; usually cheaper, same active ingredient.Bi-specific (bispecific) drugs: drugs designed to bind to two targets at once (often to direct immune cells to cancer).ADC drugs: antibody–drug conjugates – antibodies that deliver a toxic payload to cancer cells.Out-licensing: selling rights to your drug/technology to another company (often for upfront + milestone payments).EUV machines: extreme ultraviolet lithography equipment used to make the most advanced chips.Foundry: a factory business that manufactures chips for other companies.Etch and deposition: steps in chipmaking – etch removes material to form patterns, deposition adds thin layers.Picks and shovels: a metaphor for companies that sell essential tools to an industry (rather than end products).Digitalisation: moving processes and services from offline to software and data-driven systems.Compute: the processing power (chips and servers) used to train/run AI.Large language model (LLM): an AI trained on lots of text to generate and understand language.Margins: how much profit a company makes per pound/dollar of revenue (after costs).Cloud business: selling computing power/storage/software over the internet instead of on a local machine.Algorithm layer: the method or software logic that makes the AI work (as distinct from the hardware).Gross margin: revenue minus direct costs (before overheads), a rough measure of product profitability.Assisted driving: features that help a driver (lane-keeping, adaptive cruise control, etc) but don't fully replace them.Autonomous driving: a car driving itself with minimal or no human input.Software attachment rate: the percentage of customers who add paid software features and/or subscriptions.

In a podcast recorded at ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Mike Ryan, CEO of SpiceX, about how low-code and no-code platforms are reshaping automation, integration, and revenue opportunities for MSPs and channel partners. The conversation focused on how SpiceX enables organizations to connect data, systems, and AI tools through visual workflow design rather than traditional software development. Ryan described SpiceX as a platform designed to remove complexity from integration and orchestration. “We make it stupid simple for an organization to connect and structure all of their data and then use drag-and-drop workflows to automate it,” he said. Built to be business-user friendly, the platform allows MSPs to design and deploy solutions without requiring deep coding expertise, accelerating time to value for both service providers and their customers. For MSPs, Ryan emphasized that the real opportunity lies in applying domain expertise rather than writing code. MSPs bring industry-specific knowledge—such as healthcare, background screening, or public sector workflows—and use SpiceX to build repeatable, branded solutions that can scale across multiple customers. According to Ryan, some partners have leveraged this approach to expand rapidly, even acquiring competitors by productizing their automation offerings. The discussion also touched on AI and the growing challenge of “shadow AI” inside organizations. Ryan noted that SpiceX enables MSPs and enterprises to safely connect approved AI tools into structured workflows, helping future-proof operations while maintaining control. As adoption accelerates, he positioned low-code automation as a practical way for MSPs, channel partners, and enterprises to turn complexity into scalable services and new revenue streams.

In a podcast recorded at ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Steven Hess, Co-Founder and CEO of Deep Fathom, about the rising importance of compliance—particularly CMMC—and why it represents a significant opportunity for managed service providers. Hess explained that Deep Fathom is an AI-native compliance platform designed to help organizations not only achieve compliance, but maintain it over time. A central focus of the discussion was the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), the U.S. Department of Defense's enforcement framework for securing the defense industrial base. “CMMC is the regulatory enforcement layer the federal government put in place to secure the defense industrial base,” Hess said, emphasizing that without certification, suppliers can lose their ability to do business with the Department of Defense. A key takeaway for MSPs is that CMMC extends far beyond large defense primes. Hess noted that the defense ecosystem includes hundreds—sometimes thousands—of downstream suppliers, many of which may not even realize they are part of the defense supply chain. “You might actually have defense customers and not even know it,” he said, highlighting why MSPs are often the first call when compliance questions arise and why preparedness can unlock new, recurring revenue streams. Hess concluded by encouraging MSPs to approach compliance as a dedicated, strategic practice rather than an add-on service. By leveraging automation and AI-driven platforms, MSPs can scale compliance services without dramatically increasing headcount. “Compliance is not something you should just spin up on the side,” he cautioned, adding that the right tools and commitment can turn regulatory pressure into long-term growth.

New Ground. New Territory. New Growth. God is calling His people to go higher into new spiritual ground they have never walked in before. Like pioneers, we are invited to leave what is familiar and press forward into the work God is still completing in us (Philippians 1:6). This journey requires faith, courage, and perseverance, but it leads to greater freedom, fruitfulness, and joy in Christ.As we embrace the following seven higher ways to walk, we can move like pioneers into unfamiliar spiritual territory, and overcome the lower things that once defined us. 1. By faith (2 Corinthians 5:7; Hebrews 11:6) 2. In love (Ephesians 5:1–2; John 13:34–35) 3. In newness of life (Romans 6:4; 2 Corinthians 5:17) 4. In the Spirit (Galatians 5:16, 19–25) 5. As He walked (1 John 2:6; Colossians 2:6–7) 6. In the light (1 John 1:5–7; Ephesians 5:8–11) 7.

This week we welcome Margo Lightburn back to the pod after two years away, and a lot has changed.Since we last spoke, Margo has retired from teaching yoga and opens up about her complicated, sometimes bitter goodbye to the industry and everything that followed. We talk candidly about grief, including the loss of her mother, undergoing a hysterectomy, and the deeply personal healing journey that ultimately led her to begin writing a book.We reflect on a time when yoga felt like the end-all, be-all, the constant push for flexibility, the pressure to do more, and how overdoing it quietly led to injury. We talk about teaching from an unhealed place, tending to childhood wounds, and what happens when ambition outpaces care.As always, the conversation wanders through tangents, hilarious moments, and big questions. We glaze on finding community, the state of the world right now, hot yoga, pelvic floor health, abuse in the industry, and the many ways to go deeper in your healing. We also hear about Margo's new episodic podcast series coming soon and what leaving the yoga industry helped her reclaim and conquer.This episode feels less like an interview and more like old friends catching up, losing track of time, telling the truth, and letting the conversation unfold where it wants to go.It's honest, funny, messy, and deeply human.Settle in and enjoy the listen!Find Margo Lightburn Online:Web: https://margolightburn.com/IG: @margolightburnWant to support our podcast?

Banks have spent billions building digital customer experiences. But most are doing it on top of back-office infrastructure built for a different era. That gap has quietly become one of the biggest drags on growth, pricing power, and profitability in banking. Today's competitive edge isn't just about what customers see upfront. It's about how efficiently a bank operates, how smartly it prices on an individual basis, and how quickly it can turn data into action. That's why modernizing the back office has moved from an IT discussion to a strategic imperative. I'm joined on the Banking Transformed podcast by Richard Ullenius and Brandon Sailors from CSG International to discuss what modernization truly means, how banks can progress without tearing everything down, and how smarter infrastructure is becoming the key to efficiency, engagement, pricing, and risk management. This episode of Banking Transformed is sponsored by CSG CSG delivers banking and financial services solutions to help banks reimagine pricing, billing and customer engagement across retail, commercial and institutional banking. By unifying smart pricing, customer and transaction data and accurate, flexible billing, CSG enables banks to modernize complex, multi-product relationships without rip-and-replace. As a result, banks can reduce risk and complexity, protect margins and power trusted, real-time experiences that drive growth. https://www.csgi.com/industry/financial-services/

Interview with Nick Smart, CEO of ValOre Metals Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/valore-metals-tsxvvo-pitch-perfect-november-2025-8623Recording date: 3rd December 2025ValOre Metals is executing an ambitious transformation from single-asset platinum-palladium explorer into an integrated precious metals producer operating across Brazil. Under CEO Nick Smart—an Anglo American veteran with 21 years of experience building and commissioning operations globally—the company is pursuing a dual-track strategy: advancing the flagship Pedra Branca PGM project towards production whilst acquiring near-term cash-flowing assets to accelerate transformation into a diversified producer.The platinum-palladium market has shifted dramatically from anticipated decline to structural deficit. Contrary to earlier predictions that electric vehicles would eliminate PGM demand, hybrid vehicles—now representing a larger automotive segment than pure EVs—actually require higher loadings of platinum and palladium in autocatalysts due to smaller engines operating at lower temperatures. This has created steady demand whilst years of low prices discouraged new supply investment.South Africa holds 90% of global PGM resources, but ageing deep-level operations face mounting operational challenges and costs. With relatively few development-stage projects globally and extended timelines for new supply even once financed, the supply deficit appears structural. Global platinum production approximates 6 million ounces annually—a fraction of gold's 120 million ounces—meaning modest demand shifts drive significant price impacts. Industrial catalyst applications and jewellery substitution for record-priced gold provide additional demand support.ValOre's Pedra Branca project in Ceará State, Brazil, offers compelling economics compared to traditional PGM operations. Most significantly, mineralisation extends to surface, enabling open-pit mining rather than the expensive 600-800 metre deep underground operations characterising South African production. This provides substantial cost advantages—open-pit mining is cheaper and faster to develop than underground operations requiring massive shaft infrastructure investment.The Pedra Branca project holds a 2.2 million ounce inferred resource at 1.08 grams per tonne, with higher-grade ore near surface providing advantages for early production economics. The asset spans 50,000 hectares with mineralisation extending over 80 kilometres, suggesting expansion potential. Infrastructure advantages—stable jurisdiction, excellent access, supportive government policies—compound the geological benefits.Accelerated Development PathwayValOre is leveraging Brazil's trial mining licensing programme, which allows demonstration-scale operations at approximately one-tenth of planned full capacity. For Pedra Branca, targeting eventual production of 150,000 ounces annually, the trial mining phase would operate at approximately 15,000 ounces per annum. Following a preliminary economic assessment by end-2026 and an 18-month construction period, the company expects H2 2028 production. This phased approach reduces capital intensity, enables operational refinement, and generates cash flow supporting subsequent expansion.ValOre is actively pursuing Brazilian precious metal projects (particularly gold assets) that have completed trial mining but require capital for full production. The company targets acquisitions in early 2026 that would provide production that same year, ramping through 2027-2028 as Pedra Branca advances. As a Discovery Group-backed entity with North American capital access, ValOre can provide financing that Brazilian-domiciled companies struggle to secure.Acquiring projects with existing operational teams, completed engineering work, and functioning demonstration plants accelerates production whilst building internal capability. This dual-track approach—near-term production via M&A alongside Pedra Branca development—aims to transform ValOre from explorer to diversified producer within compressed timeframes across multiple Brazilian operations, establishing production profile whilst maintaining leverage to potential PGM price recovery.View ValOre Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/valore-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Melanie Nabar, Vice President at Volition Capital, to uncover what truly makes a company fundable—and what silently kills deals. With a background in growth-stage investing, Melanie brings sharp insight into founder dynamics, product-market fit, and the capital efficiency required to scale in today's AI-driven market.They dive deep into the evolving expectations of Series A investors, the dangers of inflated valuations, and why product obsession without go-to-market focus can quietly drain a startup's future. Melanie breaks down how founders should assess investor psychology, decode fund structures, and strategically use secondary offerings to de-risk personal financials without sacrificing long-term upside.This episode is packed with insights on revenue quality, building moats in the AI age, and how bootstrapped founders can shift their mindset to deploy capital more effectively. Whether you're preparing to raise capital or already navigating the growth phase, Melanie delivers actionable advice with clarity and candor.TakeawaysFounders often focus too much on historical data when investors are more interested in future growth and market potential.Series A investors prioritize product-market fit, retention, and scalable go-to-market motion—not just ARR.High valuations without the fundamentals to back them can kill deals and erode trust.Revenue quality (repeatability, margin, and retention) plays a bigger role in valuation than founders often realize.Many founders burn too much capital on product without clear customer validation or ROI.Bootstrapped companies often hesitate to spend even when it's time to scale; this can stall growth.Churn and gross margin are key indicators for distinguishing real AI products from hype.Companies integrated into user workflows and habits are harder to replace and more defensible.Founders should evaluate VC fund structure, vintage, and portfolio psychology—not just the check size.Taking secondary in a raise can de-risk founders personally and improve long-term decision-making.Pattern recognition and experience on the board matter more than niche industry knowledge post-seed.The best outcomes don't always require billion-dollar exits; responsible growth can still yield generational wealth.Chapters00:00 – The biggest mistake founders make when fundraising01:15 – What makes a company fundable at Series A04:45 – Why overhyping numbers kills trust and credibility09:15 – Understanding revenue quality and valuation11:30 – How 2021 broke capital efficiency—and what's changed since16:00 – Deal-killers and how unrealistic expectations derail good companies20:00 – Smart capital deployment: where investors want to see money go24:00 – Why founder secondaries are on the rise—and when they make sense27:45 – How bootstrapped founders can shift from hoarding to strategic investment33:10 – AI moats: what's truly defensible and what's hype39:20 – Questions founders must ask before taking VC money45:30 – How fund size and check size impact founder support50:40 – The difference between VC, growth equity, and PE—and why it matters Melanie Nabar's Social Media Link:https://www.linkedin.com/in/melaniejordannabar/Melanie Nabar's Website Link:https://www.volitioncapital.com/team/melanie-nabar/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

In this episode of Building the Billion Dollar Business, host Ray Sclafani reframes what it truly means to engage clients in a modern wealth management practice. He challenges the common misconceptions of client engagement which includes emails, gifts, and review meetings, and instead defines true engagement as emotional, intentional, and rooted in value. Ray outlines three pillars of effective engagement: proactive conversations, customized communication, and meaningful milestone recognition. He emphasizes that real engagement must be embedded into firm culture, not just left to the advisor. Listeners are encouraged to use tools like client journey mapping, achievement reviews, and feedback loops to scale meaningful connections. The episode closes with three reflective coaching questions designed to help advisors evolve their approach and deepen client relationships in a commoditized landscape.Key TakeawaysTrue engagement is emotional, intentional, and value-driven, where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood.Effective engagement is built on three pillars: proactive conversations that anticipate client needs, customized communication that aligns with how each client processes information, and meaningful recognition of personal milestones.It must be embedded into the culture of the entire firm, not dependent on any one advisor, and requires clear systems, roles, and shared ownership to scale.In today's experience-driven world, clients compare their advisors to brands like Amazon, Apple, and Netflix, expecting personalization, speed, and relevance.When done well, client engagement becomes a strategic asset, creating loyalty, increasing referrals, and strengthening cross-generational relationships.Find Ray and the ClientWise Team on the ClientWise website or LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeTo join one of the largest digital communities of financial advisors, visit exchange.clientwise.com.

Today on Update, I am talking with Patty Cantrell, Project Manager at New Growth, and Jennifer Caldwell, Southwest Missouri Community Leader for Missouri's Office of Childhood. We will be discussing the fact that Vernon and Cedar Counties are being called a "Childcare Desert" because there isn't enough available childcare for working parents. Patty and Jennifer say this is especially true for zero to 2-year-old children. We talk about how lack of childcare affects our local workforce and the economy of these two counties. Finally, we go over solutions to the child care problem we have in Vernon and Cedar counties. You can get more information at NewGrowthMo.org.

After a pullback following the 2021 peak, this year's upswing is breathing new life into opportunities for both entrepreneurs and investors.Brian Belley, Vice President of Product at Kingscrowd, shared insights on this trend during this episode of the “Superpowers for Good” show. He highlighted the resilience of the market, noting, “The numbers were actually very encouraging for this year. So over the first six months, over the first half of the year, there was $450 million committed to these campaigns that are being done online to these offerings.”Despite economic uncertainty and public market volatility earlier this year, investors continued to support small businesses and startups. As Belley explained, “We actually raised $450 million in spite of all of that that was going on.” Beyond the investment totals, this capital is fueling job creation and economic activity across communities.Both Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) are seeing significant participation. Regulation A campaigns attracted $250 million, while Reg CF brought in $200 million—up 9% from last year. Belley pointed out, “In the case of Regulation A, that even exceeded the first six months even going back to 2021,” signaling the historic nature of this year's growth.One reason for Reg CF's continued appeal is its accessibility, with minimum investments as low as $50 or $100. Belley said, “The average investment size, check size, as we refer to it, does tend to be in that $1,000 to $1,200 range... there are some bigger investors out there as well who are investing in these companies.” This democratization of investing is helping more people participate in early-stage ventures.Recent successful offerings, such as the Newsmax Reg A+ campaign that raised $75 million, show how large brands can leverage their audiences to achieve record-breaking results. Such campaigns also demonstrate how regulated crowdfunding can bridge the gap between private and public markets, sometimes allowing shares to become tradable soon after the raise.Kingscrowd's projections suggest that the sector could reach $900 million by year's end, potentially rivaling or even surpassing the 2021 record. For founders seeking capital and investors seeking opportunities, the data points to a robust and promising period for regulated investment crowdfunding.For those interested in learning more, Belley's latest report is available at s4g.biz/king or kingscrowd.com, offering data, insights, and tools to help navigate this dynamic market.tl;dr:The episode highlights a renewed surge in regulated investment crowdfunding, with $450 million raised early in 2025.Brian Belley of Kingscrowd shares data and trends, showing growth in both Reg A and Reg CF offerings.Reg CF's accessibility empowers everyday investors and helps democratize early-stage investment opportunities.The Newsmax Reg A+ campaign illustrates how major brands can achieve record-breaking success through pre-IPO crowdfunding.The episode closes with practical advice for founders and investors to benefit from the evolving crowdfunding landscape.The Newsmax offering stands out as a prime example of pre-IPO crowdfunding. As Brian Belley explained, “Something very unique with the Newsmax offering is this ability where it was kind of this pre-IPO offering, where the shares that were purchased were essentially then kind of uplisted. They were listed on a public exchange after the Reg A offering, and they then became tradable.” This structure enabled investors not only to back a familiar media brand but also to access liquidity by trading their shares soon after the campaign, a feature rarely seen in traditional crowdfunding.The Newsmax Reg A+ campaign showcased how a company can leverage its established audience to fuel a record-breaking raise. With a large, engaged base, Newsmax was able to reach supporters eager for both financial returns and a chance to connect with the brand's mission. After the campaign, the shares became tradable on a public exchange, and early trading saw the stock price soar, providing some investors with significant short-term gains before stabilizing. This example demonstrates how regulated crowdfunding can bridge private capital raising and public market liquidity, offering tangible rewards and flexibility to investors.Build and engage a strong community or audience before launching any campaignLeverage brand recognition and trust to attract committed investorsStructure offerings with potential paths to liquidity, such as post-raise public tradingWork with experienced platforms and broker-dealers to maximize reach and regulatory complianceCommunicate risks and rewards transparently to set realistic investor expectationsGuest ProfileBrian Belley (he/him):Vice President, Product, KingscrowdAbout Kingscrowd: Kingscrowd is a team of financiers, venture capitalists, technologists, founders, and experts on a mission to democratize private market investing.

What if your next phase of growth didn't mean chasing more leads but simply looking after the ones you already have? In today's competitive and ever-changing rental market, focusing on growth alone isn't sustainable. If you're signing up 30 new properties but losing 35, you're not growing, you're exhausting your team, making everyone work harder for the same result, and still feeling like you're getting nowhere. Retention is the smarter strategy. It helps you get more value from the relationships you've already built. It's more cost effective, more impactful, and it leads to stronger business results. Best of all? You don't need a huge budget to make it work just intention, connection, and consistency. In this episode we chat with returning guest and long time industry leader Ashleigh Goodchild. Ashleigh is the Director of SOCO Realty, leading a team that manages over 1200 properties in Perth, and brings 25+ years of experience in real estate. She's also the founder of PM Collective, co-creator of Australia's first online course for interstate investors, and Director of Property Profiling Australia. Passionate about impact, she supports DV families through Orana House and sits on the board of Find Your Feet Foundation, helping renters in need. "I just want to be clear, focusing on retention won't bring in the same numbers as a full-time BDM who's out there signing new properties every day. It's not about that kind of rapid growth. But what it does give you is a solid foundation. And without that, chasing new growth is like building on sand." - Ashleigh GoodchildWe explore:Why most real estate businesses focus on new managements and ignore their retention problemHow Ashley tracks retention now and what the numbers revealed about client losses she didn't even realise were happeningThe real cost of growth and why retention is often more profitable than acquisitionHow communication and investor check ins turn landlords into long term clientsWhy client relationships not transactions create real stability for your teamHow retention impacts staff burnout, onboarding load, and overall business healthCreative ideas to track, improve, and systemise retention even if you're a small agencyKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie: https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/coaching-call Kolmeo: https://kolmeo.com/ Sensor Global: https://sensorinsure.com/ https://sensorglobal.com/ HD&U Sales Bundle:

“We need to stop building and waiting for revenue to follow. That era is over.” — Michele Campriani, CRO, Optiva In this insightful episode of Technology Reseller News, Publisher Doug Green sits down with Michele Campriani, Chief Revenue Officer at Optiva, for a wide-ranging conversation recorded from a Tuscan villa—but focused squarely on the future of telecom. Campriani brings three decades of telecom experience and a sharp diagnosis: while infrastructure investments like 5G have improved customer experience, they haven't translated into new revenue for operators. Campriani introduces the concept of the “Segment of One”—a strategy enabled by AI and real-time data analytics that allows telcos to hyper-personalize services, pricing, and customer engagement at scale. Optiva, a long-standing billing and charging solutions provider, has re-architected its cloud-native platform to support this vision, helping both established operators and agile MVNOs capitalize on new go-to-market models. He emphasizes how MVNOs, once seen as disruptors, are now strategic allies in a hyper-competitive market. Optiva supports operators in rapidly onboarding MVNOs while also enabling MVNOs themselves with dynamic pricing and tailored services. This new agility is proving essential in markets where customer acquisition is increasingly driven by niche offerings and brand differentiation. The conversation also explores how AI can help reduce costs through emerging autonomous network models, and why operators must shift focus from pure technology investment to revenue-focused transformation. With players like Mint Mobile rewriting the playbook, Campriani says it's time for telcos to get aggressive—or risk being left behind. Learn more: https://www.optiva.com

"The reality is, this is a tech bull market," says Wedbush's Dan Ives, projecting a 15% rally across the tech sector this year. He believes Nvidia (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT), and Meta Platforms (META) will continue to dominate the Big Tech trade despite pricier valuations. As Dan argues, investors need to "look out three, four, five years" to future tech these companies will create. The giant he says will be at the center of it all: Nvidia (NVDA).======== 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 – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

After years of grassroots exploration in Newfoundland, Exploits is shifting its focus to resource-backed growth with the acquisition of four gold projects across Ontario, Quebec, and Newfoundland, totaling approximately 680,000 ounces of gold.Jessop explains why the company is prioritizing ounces in the ground at a time when gold prices are rising and investor appetite is returning to hard assets. With new option agreements in hand and a $4 million treasury, Exploits has moved quickly to assemble a portfolio of advanced-stage assets with immediate exploration upside. “We're providing immediate exposure to our shareholders for gold moving even higher,” Jessop says, outlining the rationale behind this strategic pivot.The company's Ontario flagship is the Hawkins Project, located in a Hemlo-style geological setting with a current inferred resource of 328,000 oz at 1.65 g/t Au, most of it within 200 meters of surface. Jessop describes the project as “tremendously underexplored at depth,” drawing comparisons to how Hemlo transformed from a modest deposit into a 20Moz district through deeper drilling. With $2.4M in assessment credits and $10M in prior exploration, Hawkins offers a low-cost path to potential resource expansion.In Quebec, Exploits acquired three properties—Benoist, Wilson, and Fenton—from Cartier Resources. Benoist brings a historical resource of ~240,000 oz, while Wilson and Fenton offer high-grade drill hits, visual gold, and near-term discovery potential. Located near major mining infrastructure in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, these assets provide regional diversification and optionality in one of the world's most prolific gold camps.Jessop emphasizes the company's disciplined capital strategy. Instead of diluting shareholders to chase speculative discoveries, Exploits will use a “rate-and-rank” system to prioritize drilling targets based on cost-efficiency and potential return. The first steps include securing permits, refining targets, and focusing early drilling on shallow zones that can quickly add value.The interview also covers Exploits' relationship with New Found Gold, whose 2Moz Queensway Project borders Exploits' Newfoundland claims. While not currently the focus of immediate spending, Jessop highlights the upside potential of these assets should regional consolidation occur. “New Found has always been our big brother in the area,” he says, hinting at long-term collaboration possibilities.If you're following emerging gold developers, this interview offers insight into how a small-cap explorer is adapting to current market conditions, de-risking its asset base, and positioning for potential rerating as new ounces are added.
