Today, I'm talking with Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who is the world's best-sourced Apple reporter. Earlier this month, Apple hosted its annual iPhone hardware event, and this event was special, for a number of reasons. It was new Apple CEO John Ternus' first major product launch. It was also the debut of the foldable iPhone Duo. So I wanted Mark on the show to explain why this event was so important, and how John Ternus' Apple will look a lot different from Tim Cook's.

Buying your first franchise is very different from buying your second, third, or fourth. First-time franchise buyers often wrestle with fear, FOMO, passion, replacing their W-2 income, and finding the "next big thing." Experienced franchise owners tend to evaluate opportunities differently—looking harder at validation, risk, enterprise value, territory, systems, and long-term scalability. In this episode of Franchise Secrets, Erik Van Horn and Bobby Brennan break down how the franchise investor mindset changes with experience, why even successful entrepreneurs can make emotional buying decisions, and what every franchise buyer should evaluate before signing. You'll learn: • Why passion can cloud a franchise investment decision • How FOMO affects first-time buyers • Why experienced franchisees value validation • The risks of chasing emerging franchise trends • What "semi-absentee" really means • Why successful owners can become overconfident • How to think about multi-unit financial runway • What to validate before investing in a franchise Timestamps: 00:00 First-Time vs. Experienced Franchise Buyers 02:41 The Danger of Buying a Franchise Based on Passion 06:40 Are Wellness Franchises the Next Big Thing? 09:51 Why Wealthy Investors Still Make Emotional Decisions 13:48 Stop Chasing the "Next Big Franchise" 17:34 The Truth About Semi-Absentee Franchises 21:34 What First-Time Buyers Actually Want 24:00 How Experienced Franchise Owners Think Differently 26:33 How Overconfidence Leads to Bad Franchise Decisions 30:43 The Financial Reality of Multi-Unit Franchising Don't buy into the hype. Know your parameters, understand your finances, talk to franchisees, evaluate the team, and make an informed decision. Connect with Erik Van Horn:
Could freshman Kaiden Prothro become one of Georgia’s biggest offensive weapons in 2026? Buck breaks down why the 6-foot-6, 230-pound freshman receiver could create major matchup problems for SEC defenses and emerge as another dangerous target for Gunnar Stockton. Prothro arrives at Georgia after helping Bowdon win four straight state championships while setting a Georgia high school record with 63 career touchdown receptions. Now, after impressing during the spring and continuing to generate buzz in fall camp, Georgia is preparing to utilize his rare combination of size, speed, catch radius and ball skills at wide receiver. Buck explains why Prothro’s ability to win vertically, make contested catches and work the middle of the field could give Mike Bobo another unique weapon in the Bulldogs’ passing attack — and why No. 80 might be a name Georgia fans need to remember.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is the first feature film ever shot entirely with IMAX 70mm film cameras, which is apparently a very big deal, and why it's been harder than usual to get a ticket to see Matt Damon. And now that Spider-Man is moving onto IMAX screens, it may be even harder to get a ticket. Why is this 60-year-old technology suddenly the hottest thing in movies? The Verge's film and TV reporter Charles Pulliam-Moore joins senior reviewer Jennifer Pattison Tuohy to compare the standard and IMAX versions of The Odyssey and talk us through the difference between IMAX, LieMAX, and Infinity Vision.

Another episode of our Long Run Conversations with John Connolly. Ultra running has always moved in waves. One year it's barefoot shoes. Then maximal cushioning. Heat training. Carbon plates. Heat suits. Weighted vests. High-carb fuelling. Some of those ideas genuinely move the sport forward. Some quietly disappear. In this conversation we explore why we're so drawn to the next big thing, how social media and marketing influence the way we train, and why it's often the unglamorous basics that make the biggest difference over time. Along the way we chat about: Heat suits and weighted vest training Barefoot shoes, maximal cushioning and carbon plates High-carb fuelling and the rising cost of race nutrition Why elite athletes aren't always the best models to copy How to think more critically about new training ideas The difference between genuine innovation and clever marketing Why consistency still beats novelty As always, this isn't about dismissing new ideas. It's about asking better questions before changing the way you train. If you enjoy these conversations, we'd love to hear from you. Let us know what topics you'd like us to explore next.

CPG's next big ideas often emerge in unexpected places. In this episode, we explore what founders across food and beverage can learn from the rapid rise of hard sodas and hard sports drinks, as alcohol brands borrow from health, wellness and functionality to connect with younger consumers. The Taste Radio team is joined by Brewbound reporter Zoe Licata to discuss why familiar flavors, better-for-you positioning and shifting consumer behaviors are fueling these fast-growing categories—and whether they're poised for long-term success or destined to become another fleeting trend. They also unpack the surprising split between Costco and Deschutes Brewery, what it reveals about the evolving role of private label and retail strategy, and why Guinness has become one of the world's hottest beer brands by winning over an entirely new generation of drinkers. Show notes: 0:20: Harry Calling. Inspired Imbibing. $40M Is A Crooked Number. Lyte Come Lately. Crafty Costco. – Zoe and John share their experiences of seeing Harry Styles perform at Wembley Stadium and discuss how drinking culture among younger consumers in the U.K. differs from that in the U.S. The conversation explores Gen Z's evolving relationship with alcohol, the pandemic's lasting impact on drinking habits, and how brands are leaning into nostalgia and familiar flavors to connect with legal-age younger consumers. They also examine why alcohol companies are borrowing cues from the better-for-you beverage category, and the marketing challenges of positioning products with wellness-inspired messaging despite alcohol's inherent health limitations. Along the way, they spotlight the surprising rise of alcoholic sports drinks modeled after electrolyte beverages and viral drinking trends like BORGs. The discussion then turns to beer, where the hosts unpack the unexpected end of Costco's long-running private-label partnership with Deschutes Brewery, producer of the retailer's popular Kirkland Signature Helles Lager and Vintage Ale. The episode concludes with a look at Guinness' remarkable resurgence, exploring how the iconic stout has become one of beer's biggest success stories by winning over younger consumers through social media, the viral "Split the G" challenge, and the growing realization that it's lighter, more sessionable, and far more approachable than many first-time drinkers expect. Brands in this episode: Simply, Fresca, Owl's Brew, Bai, Crooked Pop, Poppi, Super Lyte, Surfside, Stateside Hard Seltzer, Gatorade, Spiked Ade, Pedialyte, Electrolit, Hoist, Deschutes, Guinness, Diet Pepsi

One of the things I enjoy most about this podcast is getting the chance to speak with athletes right at the point where everything is starting to come together. The results are appearing, the confidence is growing, and you get a glimpse of where they might be headed next. That’s exactly where Elliot Jamieson finds himself. After coming through the downhill ranks, stepping onto World Championship podiums as a junior and then making the move to Enduro, Elliot has steadily been building towards becoming one of the most exciting riders in the discipline. But what stood out to me in this conversation wasn’t just the speed. It was the way he thinks about the sport. We talk about growing up in a big sporting family, the pressure that comes with early success, making the switch from downhill to Enduro, and how a difficult run of injuries helped shape the rider he is today. We also dive into confidence, preparation, bike setup, building a racing programme, and where he thinks Enduro sits as a sport right now. Elliot is thoughtful, analytical and clearly committed to the process of becoming the best rider he can be. And after the progress he showed last season, it’s hard not to feel like we’re watching one of the riders who could help define the next era of Enduro racing. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Elliot Jamieson. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can follow Elliot on Instagram @elliotjamieson_ and on YouTube here.

Artificial intelligence is the undisputed main character of 2026, showing up everywhere from the wedding industry to perfume creation. But even while AI's place in society remains contentious — in the buzzy “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” AI is a bigger antagonist than Miranda Priestly — beauty brands and retailers are rushing to adopt AI into their platforms. That includes two of beauty's major players, Sephora and Ulta. In March, Sephora announced an integration of its app within ChatGPT, while Ulta Beauty announced its own artificial intelligence integration via a partnership with Google Gemini just a month later. On this week's episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast, hosts Lexy Lebsack and Sara Spruch-Feiner are joined by senior beauty reporter Emily Jensen to discuss Sephora's and Ulta's recent investments into AI, and how agentic shopping is poised to evolve in the beauty industry. How exactly AI will shape the consumer pipeline and influencer beauty shopping in the months and years to come remains to be seen. But with Amazon (and its proprietary AI capabilities) on Sephora's and Ulta's heels as a major beauty retailer, the beauty retailers are diving right in rather than risking getting left behind.

"You see corporate procurement of clean energy, predominantly renewable energy, but there's fleet investments, there are efficiency improvements in buildings and on campuses underway….but it was a little different than what we'd seen in recent years. It wasn't just solar and wind. There was an interest in 24/7 reliable clean energy in particular by the tech industries, which won't surprise you, but things like nuclear, geothermal, other integrated technologies like solar and storage…So that's kind of an interesting set of dynamics because it's really diversifying the players in the corporate for procurement space" Lisa Jacobson on Electric Ladies Podcast With the war Trump started in Iran causing gas prices to soar, we wanted to understand where the energy sector really is today, despite economic and geopolitical pressures. Luckily, the new 2026 Energy Factbook just came out with the answers. Listen to Lisa Jacobson, President of the Business Council for Sustainable Energy (BCSE) talk about the findings in the new energy report they did with Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) again in this fascinating discussion with Electric Ladies host Joan Michelson. You'll hear about: How AI is affecting energy markets and sources -- beyond just data centers. How the energy supply chain is at risk, not just the energy sources themselves. How reliable the grid is today and what's being done to strengthen it, including increasing transmission, efficiency, and resiliency in the face of $800 billion in climate events last year. Why she said AI is "inertia breaking" in a good way, forcing breakthroughs that are long overdue. Plus, insightful career advice, such as… "Reach out, reach out, reach out…We're an expanding sector and so much new innovation, new technology, new focus on us…it's a good time to be in the energy sector …So I think a lot of it's still relationships and putting yourself out there. I think that is key. And certainly I would say to anybody who's listening, don't hesitate to reach out to me.… (and) Be generous with your time."

On this week's show we countdown 10 Underrated TV Shows You Should Be Watching from an article at Screen Rant. and we do a deep dive into the Next Big Thing in Home Automation. Plus we read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Netflix making key change in how it releases TV seasons New Apple TV and HomePod Mini Remain 'Ready' to Launch Samsung Has Reportedly Restarted Work On OLED-Busting 'QNED' TV Tech Denon expands its multi-room speaker lineup Other: Full AWALL MicroLED Sports Bar with 108" Jumbotron! The Next Big Thing In Home Automation We have had a running gag that whatever the year, it was the "Year" of Home Automation. Today, we can say confidently that home automation is mainstream and with Matter hitting it's stride, it's easier than ever to automate your house regardless of which ecosystem you prefer. That got us wondering, what is the next big thing in home automation. Unless you have been living under a rock you have to believe it's AI. The market will shift toward truly proactive, AI-driven intelligent homes that anticipate needs rather than just respond to commands. This builds on several maturing trends we saw at CES as well as recent developments. The smart home is moving beyond basic connectivity (like voice commands or app control) into homes that "learn" your habits, predict routines, and act autonomously—while staying off the cloud for privacy and speed. This may be the end of "human programming" for automations, replaced by AI housekeepers or butlers that handle lighting, temperature, security, cleaning, and energy without constant input. Key drivers and elements include: Advanced AI and predictive automation — AI now powers mood-adaptive lighting, weather-aware thermostats from companies like Ecobee, security cameras that reduce false alarms via better object recognition, and robotic vacuums and lawn mowers that handle tasks proactively. Homes adjust ambiance, clean up pet messes autonomously, and optimize energy based on your patterns and external factors. Matter standard reaching maturity — After years of buildup, Matter is now "real". It enables seamless cross-brand compatibility, local control, and faster adoption of advanced features like energy management. This eliminates much of the old "Do you support Homekit, Google, or Echo" question, making unified ecosystems practical without protocol envy. Enhanced presence sensing and conversational AI — mmWave sensors and improved occupancy detection enable privacy-focused automation where lights and security adjust based on who's home without requiring cameras everywhere. Voice assistants evolve into more natural, butler-like interactions for complex control. Rise of innovative, affordable brands and robots — Beyond big names, companies like Aqara, SwitchBot, Ecobee, and others deliver creative, budget-friendly sensors, locks, and full systems. Robotic cleaners and other helpers are smarter and more autonomous. Overall, 2026 feels like the year smart homes stop being a collection of gadgets and become an invisible, adaptive companion—focused on convenience, energy savings, security, and wellness without the hassle of constant tweaking. If you're building or upgrading, prioritize Matter-compatible devices with strong local AI capabilities via Home Assistant, SmartThings, or other local hubs for future-proofing.
