We're traveling back in time to the Cortina 1956 Winter Olympics to hear all about the bobsled (or bobsleigh) competition. These Games saw some big changes: New rules about weight and new types of sleds. Cortina 1956 was the first Olympics for Italian Eugenio Monti, whose results put him on the road to becoming a local hero and one of the best bobsled drivers of all time. Bobsled also featured some sibling rivalry, royalty and the last American medal before a decades-long dry spell. Weather impacted the bobsledders in a bad way. Did Mother Nature have something against the Swiss? Come along on a wild ride through the icy bobsled track of Cortina. Thank you to our ongoing contributors and patrons!

MSE host Bill Powers interviews gold-stock fund manager Larry Lepard of Equity Management Associates (ema2.com) about the sharp junior-miner selloff, which he attributes to a strong jobs report and renewed rate-hike fears, and why he still expects higher gold and silver prices amid unavoidable monetary debasement. Lepard compares today's environment to 1970s-style inflation waves, argues new Fed chair Kevin Warsh may be more dovish than expected, and says a future monetary reset could drive gold toward $10,000/oz+ and silver far higher, boosting silver equities. He outlines his preferred “sweet spot” of emerging, growing producers, discusses jurisdiction risks, portfolio management and profit-taking, and shares favorite stock picks. 00:00 Intro 00:17 Market Selloff 02:19 Inflation Waves and Fed Outlook 03:22 Monetary Reset and Metal Targets 04:26 Warsh Pivot and Rate Cuts 06:52 Fund Flows and Commodity Shift 09:26 Where Value Hides in Miners 14:18 Favorite Producers and Jurisdictions 17:27 Silver Price Upside and Taking Profits 20:44 Avino Silver 12-Bagger 21:47 Volatility and Taking Profits 23:08 When Mining Bets Fail 24:41 Refining the Investing Process 26:05 Tokenized Equities Debate 27:02 Monetary Debasement Thesis 29:36 Favorite Gold & Silver Stocks 33:27 How to Follow Larry Larry's contact info and Twitter handle: https://twitter.com/LawrenceLepard Larry's Newsletter Sign-up: http://eepurl.com/gOf1dT Larry's Quarterly Fund Letter: https://ema2.com/quarterly-reports/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

Luckily for you, we spend hours each day going through the latest in AI to cut the fluff from the real. So on today's ‘AI Working Wednesdays' series, we break down 3 of Google's biggest AI updates you can use today: Google Omni, Gemini 3.5 Flash and Antigravity 2.0. What's new and how do they work?

For Mental Health Awareness Month, we welcome back Jenny Sichel to talk about her experiences with being an elite athlete while managing Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Jenny is a coxswain who competed with both able-bodied and para rowing crews. We talked with her about being misdiagnosed for years, the work that went into taking control of her condition, and how it affected her as an elite athlete. You can learn more about OCD at the International OCD Foundation: iocdf.org. Find Jenny on LinkedIn, Insta, and Facebook. Also on the program: The Interntional Ski & Snowboard Federation had plenty of thoughts about how the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics went. Plus, the Milano Cortina Organizing Committee may have more budgetary issues with the ice hockey arena. LA 2028 announced its Cultural Olympiad. We try to find the actual news within its press release. French Alps 2030 chose a venue in the Netherlands to host the speed skating events. Guess how far away that is from everything else. The International Olympic Committee Executive Board met recently, and President Kirsty Coventry is getting the organization "Fit for the Future." We delve into all the ways you could see change at upcoming Games, whether the Youth Olympic Games will return, and if anyone at the IOC knows how a sport gets onto the Olympic program. In news from Team Keep the Flame Alive, we hear from: Fencers Miles Chamley-Watson, Lee Kiefer, Maia Chamberlain, Alexander Massialas and Kat Holmes Former luger Maura Grogan Former figure skater Gracie Gold Filmmaker George Hirthler - to get tickets to "The Games in Black & White," visit TaraAtlanta's website.

OpenAI's Codex is the best AI system on the planet.
Until a few months ago, open source AI was kinda a hobby project. Now, it's tearing corporate boardrooms apart. Why? Over the past 6ish months, the gap between frontier closed AI and open sourced AI has shrunk to pretty much nothing. And with the surge of always on agents driving open models, their development and release schedule is on pace with the frontier labs. So if your team isn't paying attention to -- and running test cases through -- open AI models, there's a good chance you'll either be overpaying or playing catch up soon. We walk you through the 101 and what you need to know when it comes to open source AI in this Start Here Series special.

What good is AI if you can't trust it? Everyone's racing to do more, build more, ship more agents. But if you're scanning an AI output and say it looks good enough, that isn't actually good enough. Especially when it comes to your company's finances. If you're a CFO, a finance leader, or running an SMB where one wrong number sends everything sideways, having trust in your AI is paramount.On today's show, we're getting into why the model alone won't save you, where finance pros should actually be spending their time now, and why most companies are thinking about AI risk backwards.

The U.S. Center for SafeSport was created in 2017 by the U.S. Congress in the wake of the Larry Nasser scandal to address abuse and misconduct in American Olympic and Paralympic sports. On this episode, we talk with Benita Fitzgerald Mosley, who became the organization's new chief executive officer in February 2026. Benita is an Olympic champion herself, winning gold in 1984 in the 100 meter hurdles. She's also a mother of children who have their own competitive athletic journeys. These experiences combine to give her insight as to how to lead an organization whose mission is to protect young athletes. Our conversation, which took place during her first week on the job, gets into the differences of the inappropriate behavior she saw during her time as an athlete, the measures the U.S. Center for SafeSport is taking today, and her hopes for what the center can achieve in the future. Also on this episode, Alison reviews her experience at Stars on Ice, which includes insight on how influential Alysa Liu has become in our culture. Plus, there are rumors that the International Olympic Committee has said game over to esports and has thoughts about the sports programs for French Alps 2030 and Brisbane 2032. 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the Montreal 1976 Summer Olympics. All year long, cultural institutions and the Olympic Park will have events to celebrate these Games. The fun will culminate in a big 50th anniversary celebration on August 1. Find out what's going on here: https://montrealolympique.ca/en/ The best event will be The Great Nadia Gathering in honor of the impact Nadia Comaneci had on baby names. If you're a Nadia of a certain age (born 1976-1978), this contest is for you: https://montrealolympique.ca/en/events/the-great-nadia-gathering-contest/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit http://flamealivepod.com.

After 400 episodes, the conversation shifts toward what Modern Craftsman should become next.

In this powerful and heart-opening episode of Dr. Lotte: Science with Soul, I sit down with Michele Andina, RN, PhD, healer, psychic medium, and co-creator of Global Lightworkers United. Michele shares her extraordinary journey from early spiritual awareness and communication with spirit, to becoming a nurse, medical anthropologist, and global humanitarian working in over 26 countries. Together, they explore the intersection of science, spirituality, and service - and what it truly means to live as a Lightworker in today's world. This conversation dives into intuitive awakening, sacred community, the future of spiritual leadership, and how we can come together to create a more conscious and compassionate world.

Info hunting and juggling sound familiar? It's the downfall of almost any business leader. Where is that email from Emily? Why can't I find last quarter's budget in Drive? Oh, and Keenen needs an answer back on that research project. Oh shoot, I swear Caleb confirmed the expenses in one of these Slack channels. You're off an information rabbit hole and by the time you find that Slack message, you already forgot what Emily's email said. Hit home? Well, as AI models expand to Coworking and Scheduled agents, we have a new best friend that doesn't really have a name. (Until we randomly named it. Lolz) Scheduled Agentic Context Carry.

While we still have Winter Olympics and Paralympics on the brain, we take a look at what's going on with Utah 2034 with Catherine Raney-Norman, Utah 2034's vice president development and athlete relations. Catherine is a 4x Olympic speed skater who transitioned into development work after retiring from competition. Given that Utah 2034 can't go after sponsorship deals until after LA28, it has created an innovative funding program called Podium 34. For the first time in Olympic history, private donors are stepping up to help fund the Games. Catherine talks about the program and how it's changing Games funding for the future. To learn more about Podium 34, visit: http://utah2034.org/podium34/ In LA28 news, Santa Monica is making plans to host a Nations Village during the Games. Also, if your event tickets take you to a venue at USC, you may want to build in some travel time.
