A new Rabobank report reveals within the next 10 years, New Zealand agriculture will begin its largest-ever inter-generational transfer of wealth. More than half of farm and orchard owners will reach the age of 65 in the next decade, but only a third have a formal succession plan. It's estimated $150 billion worth of farming assets will change hands. Rabobank CEO Todd Charteris told Mike Hosking the challenge is farms are getting better, but there are fewer farm owners, so the capital requirements are big. He says we need to continue to explore different ownership models. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Henrik Zeberg joins Maggie Lake to issue a bold and urgent warning: the global economy has already hit the iceberg, and a massive crash may be just months away. But first, he says, markets could soar in a final liquidity-fueled rally, creating one last chance to prepare before everything changes. Henrik lays out his thesis for why we're nearing the end of this business cycle, why central bank and fiscal stimulus might backfire, and why the next crisis could end the U.S. dollar's dominance in a global monetary reset. Key topics: Why Henrik says the housing market has already frozen, and what that means How $4.5 trillion in global liquidity is fueling a dangerous blow-off top What could trigger a deflationary bust followed by a stagflation crisis Will the U.S. dollar lose its global reserve status? The long-term opportunity Henrik sees in AI, tech, and innovation Make sure your portfolio is built to survive any economic icebergs.

Krista's work has helped thousands move through life's biggest transitions with more grace, self-trust, and soul.

Together, we explore: The real meaning of Saturn Return, and why it's not here to ruin your life How to move from stuck to soul-led, no matter your age or season Why saying no is an act of self-worth, and how Krista uses her “5 no's” practice How to reconnect with your soul's voice over ego What to do when you're burnt out, out of alignment, or afraid to change How to release friendships with love, and invite new aligned relationships in The difference between purpose and career, and how to build a purpose-driven life Why you don't need to find your soul, just quiet the noise enough to hear her You'll leave this episode with practical tools, spiritual insights, and the gentle reminder that you are worthy of a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. Highlights from the Episode: “Your Saturn Return is your cosmic wake-up call…a moment to either settle or become brave enough to create a life you actually love.” “You don't need to search for your soul because she is never lost, it's more about learning to listen again.” “It takes a lot of energy to hold yourself back from being the real you.” “Purpose isn't found, it's built.” Because we loved Almost 30: A Definitive Guide to a Life You Love for the Next Decade and Beyond *so* much- we want to gift the book to TWO of our community members- leave a review for Slightly Spiritual on Apple Podcasts, let us know through a DM on Instagram- and we'll choose two winners at random on July 1st!

I'm joined by Krista Williams, co-host of the wildly successful Almost 30 podcast and co-author of the brand-new book Almost 30: A Definitive Guide to a Life You Love for the Next Decade and Beyond. Krista and her co-host Lindsey Simcik created the guide they wished they had during the confusing, transformative transition from their late 20s into their 30s—a time full of cosmic shake-ups, friendship shifts, body image reckoning, and purpose redefinition. This conversation goes deep into the heart of that transition. Krista opens up about how her relationship with her body has evolved after years of being steeped in diet culture and how turning 30 brought her a completely new lens on friendship, self-worth, and intuitive living. We talk about what it means to truly feel safe in your body, how to let go of relationships with compassion, and why growing older can be a deeply spiritual initiation—if you let it be. We explore: The emotional shifts that come with turning 30 Letting go of friendships that no longer align—and the grief that comes with it How to attract relationships that reflect your growth Healing from diet culture and embracing a softer, intuitive approach to wellness Rebuilding a sense of safety in your body after years of disconnection Self-worth, control, and learning to trust your body again Creating identity outside of old stories, labels, or roles Why the Saturn Return is more than an astrology trend—it's a spiritual doorway Whether you're navigating a friendship breakup, trying to heal your relationship with food, or simply wondering who you're becoming—this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

Lex interviews Josh Reeves, co-founder of Gusto, a company specializing in payroll, HR, and benefits solutions for small businesses. Josh shares his journey from academia to entrepreneurship, highlighting the challenges and strategies involved in building Gusto. The discussion covers the evolution of technology from Web 2.0, the importance of understanding customer needs, and maintaining strong unit economics. Josh emphasizes Gusto's mission to simplify payroll and HR tasks for small businesses, aiming to improve their survival rates and overall efficiency. The episode underscores the significance of product quality and customer satisfaction in navigating industry competition. Notable discussion points: 1.

Product Sequencing and the Power of a Payroll-Centric Ecosystem: Starting with payroll, Gusto built a sticky, horizontal product with strong retention. From there, they expanded into benefits, time tracking, and more—adding products based on customer pull and reinforcing their ecosystem. 3. Organizational Evolution: From Founder-Led to Functional and Matrixed: Gusto grew from 3 co-founders to 2,600+ employees by evolving from a hands-on team to a matrix structure. Reeves emphasized hiring leaders suited to each stage and giving small, focused teams autonomy to drive new product development.

In this inspiring episode of the TCAS Podcast, host Jason Rigby sits down with Troy Plota to explore his incredible journey—from being kicked out of his home at 17 to building a multi-million-dollar digital empire. Troy shares pivotal moments in his career, his transition from traditional photography to AI-driven innovation, and how a negative experience with Apple fueled the creation of Plotaverse. The conversation dives deep into the role of AI in art, its risks and opportunities, and how Plotaverse is revolutionizing the creative landscape by putting artists first. Key Moments & Topics Troy's Origin Story (00:01 - 03:24) Troy reflects on his early life as a “surf rat” in Florida, where his passion for photography began despite his father's skepticism about it as a career. At 17, he left home with just a camera, kickstarting a lifelong journey as a fashion, advertising, and celebrity photographer. A pivotal move to Miami and later Atlanta set the stage for his big break in the industry. Key Quote: “I just picked up my camera and I've never had another job ever since.” Breaking into the Big Leagues (01:22 - 03:24) Troy recounts how he landed his first major opportunity by organizing portfolios for a modeling agency in Atlanta, leading to paid shoots and exposure to high-profile clients. His work gained traction, eventually landing him features in GQ and a groundbreaking digital billboard in Times Square—the first shot with a digital camera. Jason's Insight: “You came in and started serving right off the bat… creating a ton of value.” AI and the Future of Creativity (04:12 - 06:02) Troy embraces AI as a “miracle” for creators, drawing parallels to the shift from film to digital photography. He argues that AI enhances rather than diminishes human creativity, offering tools to bring stills to life and create films that were once impossible. Currently collaborating with Ellen von Unwerth, Troy sees AI as a way to stay ahead of the curve. Key Quote: “If you don't embrace this, you're going to be left behind.” The Apple Betrayal and Plotaverse's Birth (06:55 - 09:42) Troy shares a challenging moment when Apple promoted his Plotograph app for the iPhone X launch, only to lowball him with an offer and fail to deliver promised exposure after a $6 million giveaway. A competitor replicated his app, raking in hundreds of millions, but Troy turned the setback into motivation, building Plotaverse—a social platform for artists. Positive Outcome: Plotaverse became the world's first all-AI social platform, fueled by Troy's resilience and vision. Jason's Take: “This is age-old—making a profit off an artist… there's always this boogeyman behind them.” Plotaverse: Empowering Artists (10:16 - 15:18) Troy introduces Plotaverse as a customizable, artist-first platform where creators control their portfolios without algorithmic interference. Features include pixel-shifting patents to authenticate work, multiple collections for diverse styles, and upcoming monetization tools. Unlike Instagram's 7.5% creator payout, Plotaverse reinvests a significant portion of ad revenue back into artists. Key Quote: “I've designed the profile pages to be like your website… you dictate what goes first.” Unexpected Uses of Plotaverse (12:14 - 13:34) Troy shares surprising stories of Plotaverse's impact, from helping people in hospitals combat depression to powering visuals at electronic music shows. Highlight: “People would say, ‘I was in bed for months and literally addicted to your app… it saved my life.'” Debunking AI Misconceptions (15:39 - 18:34) Addressing fears that AI makes art “too easy,” Troy emphasizes the skill of prompting and the collaborative nature of AI creation. He's working to make AI tools more affordable and accessible, including open-source models. Jason's Insight: “Even the prompt… that should be monetized.” The Next Decade of Art (20:11 - 23:19) Troy predicts that AI will democratize filmmaking, enabling creators to produce feature films from their ideas without Hollywood budgets. Dynamic digital displays will transform static art into moving, mood-setting pieces for homes and galleries. Vision: “Things don't have to be stationary anymore… it's a combination of augmented reality and screens.” Data Visualization and Beyond (23:19 - 25:51) Jason highlights innovative uses of digital art, like oceanographic data visualizations, and Troy agrees that Plotaverse can amplify such work. The platform supports photographers, videographers, and data artists alike, fostering a global, organic creative community. Troy's Take: “Art has always been about what it makes you feel… now it can move.” Getting Started with Plotaverse (26:25 - 29:26) Troy encourages new users to download the app, explore crisp, uncompressed imagery, and follow inspiring artists. Pro features unlock after 50 posts or comments, making tools accessible globally. A desktop version is in development, integrating top AI tools like Runway, Pika, and Stable Diffusion, with an Nvidia partnership for offline models. Call to Action: “Go on, find some artists you love, and get inspired.” How to Connect Download Plotaverse: Available on iOS and Android Follow Troy: @troyplota on X, @Troyplota on Plotaverse Learn More: plotaverse.com, troyplota.com Plotagraph Pro: plotagraphpro.com

Here are Five Trends Shaping Home Theater Experiences in 2025: 1. Immersive Audio Systems: Dolby Atmos and DTS:X continue to dominate, with more homes adopting multi-dimensional sound setups. Ceiling speakers and soundbars with upward-firing drivers are increasingly popular, creating a cinema-like audio bubble. 2. 8K Resolution Adoption: While 4K remains standard, 8K TVs and projectors are gaining traction as prices drop and content becomes more available. Upscaling tech also enhances older media, making the jump to 8K more appealing. 3. Smart Integration: Home theaters are syncing up with smart home ecosystems—think voice-controlled lighting, motorized screens, and AI-driven content recommendations. Systems like Google Home or Alexa are seamlessly tied to AV receivers and streaming devices. 4. Modular and Compact Designs: Space-saving solutions are on the rise. All-in-one projectors with built-in streaming, or modular furniture with hidden speakers, cater to smaller living spaces without sacrificing quality. 5. Gaming-Centric Features: With next-gen consoles and PCs pushing boundaries, low-latency displays (120Hz+ refresh rates) and variable refresh rate (VRR) support are must-haves. Home theaters are doubling as gaming hubs, blending entertainment modes. Will AI Drive Home Automation into the Next Decade? One of the biggest advancements in home automation technology in recent years is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning into smart home systems. This has taken home automation beyond simple remote control and scheduling to a level where devices can learn from user habits, adapt to preferences, and make intelligent decisions autonomously. Those who are fans of AI point to smart thermostats like the Nest or Ecobee and claim that these devices don't just follow a preset schedule anymore—they analyze your temperature preferences, daily routines, and even local weather patterns to optimize heating and cooling. Over time, they adjust themselves to save energy while keeping you comfortable, often without any manual input. But this isn't really asking Ai to do much. Once you set a thermostat with your preferences it just needs to determine whether you are home or away and go into the appropriate mode. There is nothing revolutionary or even AI about it. However, AI-powered hubs like Amazon's Alexa, Google Home, or Apple's HomeKit have gotten smarter with natural language processing and interoperability. They c an now coordinate multiple devices—lights, locks, cameras, appliances—through a single voice command or trigger complex routines based on contextual cues like, “I'm home” could unlock the door, turn on lights, and start the coffee maker. The latest advancements also include predictive behavior, where systems anticipate needs—like dimming lights when it's movie time or locking doors when you leave—based on historical data. What's making this possible is the combination of faster processors, cheaper sensors, and cloud computing, alongside AI models that can crunch data in real time. Add in 5G and Matter (the new universal smart home standard), and you've got faster, more reliable communication between devices, even across different brands. But a real game-changer is edge AI—processing data locally on devices rather than in the cloud. This boosts speed, privacy, and reliability, even if your internet drops. Picture a security camera that instantly recognizes a package delivery and unlocks the door for the courier, all without checking with the cloud first. So what do you think will drive home automation in the future?
