India has opened insurance to 100% foreign ownership. But Sun Life CEO Kevin Strain says ownership is less important than building the right business—and that the company currently works better alongside the Aditya Birla Group than alone. In this conversation from the Economic Times World Leaders Forum, Strain explains to ET’s banking editor Sangita Mehta why Sun Life’s India insurance business is growing 25% annually, where its $100-billion asset manager goes next, and how private credit and infrastructure could power its expansion. He also discusses bancassurance, AI’s inability to replace empathy, and a stark longevity challenge: 40 working years may now need to finance 40 years of retirement.Listen inYou can follow Sangita Mehta on her social media: Twitter and LinkedinCheck out other interesting episodes like - Cognizant’s Surya Gummadi on How AI Can Deliver Returns, The Future of Insurance in India | Sarbvir Singh of PB Fintech, Groww’s ₹6,600 Cr Leap - Fintech’s Big Market Test Begins , OML CEO on the Creator Economy’s Next Wave & much more.

Volkswagen is one of the world’s largest carmakers, yet has less than 2% of India’s passenger vehicle market. Its proposed partnership with JSW could mark a striking reversal: JSW may own 51% of the venture, leaving the German giant as the junior partner. Anirban Chowdhury speaks to ET’s Arijit Barman and Shally Seth Mohile about what each side gains, why JSW wants European technology alongside its Chinese partnerships, and whether the deal can accelerate Volkswagen’s painfully slow India journey. They also examine JSW’s audacious automotive ambitions—and the risk that its three ventures could eventually compete with one another.Listen inYou can follow Anirban Chowdhury on his social media: X and LinkedinCheck out other interesting episodes like - Cognizant’s Surya Gummadi on How AI Can Deliver Returns, The Future of Insurance in India | Sarbvir Singh of PB Fintech, Groww’s ₹6,600 Cr Leap - Fintech’s Big Market Test Begins , OML CEO on the Creator Economy’s Next Wave & much more.

In the latest Corner Office Conversation from The Economic Times World Leaders Forum Bain & Company Global Chairman Manny Maceda tells Anirban Chowdhury what this fragmentation means for India's shot at becoming the world's factory, why AI's payoff still eludes most companies deploying it, and whether costlier capital is quietly forcing private equity to build better businesses instead of just cheaper deals.

Keegan's path took him from jailbreaking iPods in Thunder Bay, Ontario, to building the infrastructure that powered Luma AI's viral Dream Machine launch, scaling from 500 to 9,000 H100s in six hours to process over half a million videos.They break down why the industry is wrong to shoehorn interactive AI into old request-response systems and why the future belongs to persistent, stateful, real-time experiences. Keegan explains the technical differences between LLMs and video models, why infrastructure is the biggest bottleneck for the next wave of AI, and what it takes to recruit top engineering talent.He also shares hard-won lessons on selling to developers, the Canadian AI talent landscape, and his bold, contrary views on the AI supply chain. From avatars and steerable video to coding agents generating 1,000 tokens per second, this episode is packed with frontline insights.Whether you are a founder building in AI, an infrastructure engineer, or simply curious about where human-computer interaction is headed, Keegan delivers a clear-eyed look at the future of interactive AI.–A big thanks to our sponsor, Moomoo CanadaThis is the kind of tooling that used to live on a Bloomberg terminal, but now it is on your phone, just a few taps away.

She gave me four minutes. It changed my career.Almost thirty years ago, I had a donor meeting with a man who genuinely intimidated me. My development director stopped by my desk and asked what I planned to ask him.I recited my agenda. She listened, then said, "That's fine. But what do you really want to know about him?"I said I wanted to know why he kept giving to us when he clearly didn't need us.She said, "Ask him that."He talked for twenty minutes about his mother, a scholarship, and a debt he'd been paying back for forty years. He made our largest gift that year.Four minutes at my desk. No budget. No program. No conference.That's the whole thing I want us to understand about developing the next generation of major gift fundraisers. We keep trying to hire our way out of what is really a coaching problem.If someone on your team told a story like that about you ten years from now, what would they say you did?This week on The Intentional Fundraiser Podcast, I walk through what's different about the fundraisers coming up now, the four competencies they need, five coaching moves that cost nothing, and what it quietly costs your donors when you skip all of it.Give it a listen, then share it with a manager who's carrying a team and wondering why hiring hasn't fixed it.More from Tammy ZonkerAuthor of Calling All Heroes: Combining the Best of Donor-Centered and Community-Centered Fundraising for Greater ImpactFounder of Fundraising TransformedPresident of Modern Institute for Charitable GivingBook Tammy to Keynote Your Next EventReserve your spot at the upcoming Excellence in Major Gift Fundraising SeminarSubscribe to the Scaling Major Gifts newsletterConnect with Tammy Zonker on LinkedInResources: Show notes, links, and resources mentioned in this episode.Review my show: Please review my show.

August 2026 Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks. Includes articles on the top clean-tech companies, AI infrastructure stocks, and ESG funds. By Ron Robins, MBA Transcript & Links, Episode 170, August 28, 2026 Hello, Ron Robins here. Welcome to my podcast episode 170, published on August 28, 2026, titled "August 2026 Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks." This podcast is presented by Investing for the Soul.

Remember that you can find a full transcript and links to content, including stock symbols and bonus material, on this episode's podcast page at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Also, a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts, and I don't receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. Furthermore, I will disclose any investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. I have a great crop of 12 articles for you in this podcast! Note: Sometimes companies are covered more than once. Now I've chosen 6 to quote from. Titles and links to the other 6 can be found on the webpage for this podcast edition. ------------------------------------------------------------- Nvidia vs. SanDisk: Morgan Stanley Reveals Which AI Stock Is Crowded and Which Is Heavily Under-Owned I'm beginning with an article featuring two stocks that most ethical and sustainable investors have invested in, either directly or indirectly through funds. It's titled Nvidia vs. SanDisk: Morgan Stanley Reveals Which AI Stock Is Crowded and Which Is Heavily Under-Owned. It is published on tipranks.com and is by Shalu Saraf. Here's some of what the writer says about Morgan Stanley's analysis of these two stocks. "Story Highlights Nvidia has a 2.53-point ownership gap, the widest among the large-cap tech stocks tracked by Morgan Stanley. SanDisk is 2.30 points above its S&P 500 weighting, making it the most over-owned stock in the group. Nvidia has 37.74% analyst upside, compared with 23.78% for SanDisk, with both stocks carrying Strong Buy ratings. Nvidia NVDA  Is Under-Owned Despite Its Market Size. Nvidia's institutional ownership is 2.53 percentage points below its 7.61% S&P 500 (SPX) weighting, and the gap widened by 14 basis points in the second quarter. That gives Nvidia the widest ownership gap among the large-cap tech stocks in the group. Apple AAPL follows with a 2.33% gap, while Microsoft MSFT and Amazon AMZN have gaps of 1.54% and 1.29%, respectively. SanDisk SNDK  Is the More Crowded Trade. Its institutional ownership is 2.30 percentage points above its 0.35% S&P 500 weighting, making it the most over-owned stock in Morgan Stanley's group. KLA KLAC and Western Digital WDC also rank among the most over-owned names… Morgan Stanley also found that active managers remain heavily invested in memory and storage stocks. Software stocks, including IBM IBM, Oracle ORCL, Palo Alto Networks PANW, ServiceNow NOW, and Adobe ADBE, have much lower ownership. NVDA vs. SNDK: Which Stock Do Analysts Prefer? Wall Street remains bullish on both Nvidia and SanDisk, with both stocks carrying a Strong Buy consensus. Nvidia has the higher average price target of $309.94, implying 37.74% upside. SanDisk's $2,211.76 average target points to 23.78% upside." End quotes ------------------------------------------------------------- Clean Tech Companies - Clean Edge 100 This next article is a good annual ranking of clean tech industries. Companies must include over 50% of their revenues from clean tech activities. The article is titled Clean Tech Companies - Clean Edge 100. It is from and by cleanedge.com. Here are some quotes. "The 2026 Clean Edge 100, our third annual ranking of the 100 top publicly traded clean-tech companies in clean energy, transportation, water, and the grid, finds continued global industry leadership in the U.S., Europe, and China. Eligible clean-tech companies are members of our global equity research universe of more than 800 companies and must receive at least 50% of their revenue from clean-tech activities (pure plays). Companies are ranked according to an equally weighted composite of market capitalization, revenue, and operating profit. Revenue and operating profit are adjusted by business exposure as evaluated by Clean Edge.  U.S., Europe, and China-domiciled companies lead the pack this year with 27, 26, and 22 listings respectively, followed by Brazil with seven and Korea with four, reflecting the diversity of global clean-tech activity. U.S.-domiciled firms accounted for nearly $2.5 trillion of market capitalization ($1.6 trillion from Tesla alone), followed by European Union and U.K. companies with $1.2 trillion and Chinese firms with $716 billion in cumulative market capitalization respectively." End quotes. Incidentally, the top five companies in the ranking are: Tesla, Inc. (TSLA), Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (CYATY), GE Vernova, Inc. (GEV), Schneider Electric SE (SU.PA), and ABB Ltd. (ABBN.SW). ------------------------------------------------------------- JUST: How This Ethical ETF Beats Other Large Caps This next article features an ETF that is becoming a favourite. It's titled JUST: How This Ethical ETF Beats Other Large Caps. It's published on etfdb.com and written by Nick Peters-Golden. Here are some quotes from the article. "Do you have clients looking to invest with justice in mind? Younger investors, in particular, are increasingly eager to screen out companies that don't match their ethics. While many ETFs screen out questionable companies, not all manage to deliver strong returns. However, the Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (JUST B) offers a compelling alternative… The index draws from the Russell 1000 and screens for firms that meet its methodology, assessing key areas like diversity, customer privacy, and greenhouse gas emissions… Rather than just focusing on penalizing perceived policy violators, the strategy prioritizes investing in companies doing good. Leveraging that approach, the socially responsible ETF has returned 15.2% YTD, outperforming the ETF Database Large Cap Growth Equities category average of 11.15%, as of August 7. JUST has also delivered strong long-term results, outperforming its category average across one, three, and five-year periods. Over the last five years, the fund has generated a 13% annualized return, beating the Large Cap Growth Equities category average. As advisors look to onboard more clients with particular views and standards, JUST offers a balanced solution of principals and performance."

Women Who Lead
Next Wave Leaders Part 3 | Cayce Levine, Amber Carlton, Ambre Theroux, Gabriela Huson - 062

Women Who Lead

Some of the most important leadership lessons are not learned after you have made it. They are learned while you are still building. That is the idea behind this final chapter of our Next Wave Leaders series, featuring members of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Rethink Council.  I am joined by four women in completely different markets, at completely different stages, who are all building something real: Cayce Levine, Amber Carlton, Ambre Theroux, and Gabriela Huson. Meet the Leaders Cayce Levine - Broker Advisor, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices York Simpson Underwood Realty She started in healthcare before finding real estate at 25, drawn by an income ceiling she refused to accept, and now leads her Cary and Morrisville office.  Cayce is passionate about helping her agents work smarter, not harder, and building an office culture rooted in collaboration. Amber Carlton - REALTOR® and Team Leader, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Premier Properties She got into real estate to help people achieve their dreams, and built her team, Carlton & Co, around an obsession with the client experience.  Amber is known for VIP red-carpet closings, deeply personalized client touches, and her drive to scale her business so she can buy back her own time. Ambre Theroux - REALTOR®, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Realty Professionals She left her family's electroplating business and an MBA-track corporate career behind to get licensed in just two months, landing her first client through a horse-property Facebook group.  Ambre excels at building custom client communication timelines and is passionate about making her business sustainable for the long run. Gabriela Huson - REALTOR®, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties Her path into real estate started with renovating her own fixer-upper home during COVID, and she was named Rookie of the Year after closing nine transactions in her first year.  Gabriela is passionate about intentional client communication and balancing a thriving Santa Barbara business with being a full-time mom of two. From Corporate Ceilings to Client Relationships: How They Got Into Real Estate Cayce came from healthcare, where she felt boxed in by a pay ceiling, and found in real estate an industry where effort has no cap. Ambre walked away from her family's electroplating business and an MBA track to get licensed in two months, later finding her niche serving horse property owners in Northern Connecticut. Gabriela renovated a full fixer-upper during COVID, fell in love with the process, and turned that experience into a Rookie of the Year debut. Amber originally wanted to get into interior design and staging, discovered she hated staging itself, and found her real strength in guiding clients through selections and the emotional side of a move. What They Believed Early On That They No Longer Believe Cayce assumed she was simply going to sell houses, and did not realize she was building an entire business where she would be her own marketer, accountant, and project manager. Gabriela and Ambre both used to equate being busy with being successful, and now measure their time by intention instead of activity. The Scary Decisions That Changed Their Careers Amber credits hiring a life and business coach, and later an assistant, with changing both her business and her life, even though she resisted the assistant hire at first. Gabriela talks about betting on herself financially before she ever saw a paycheck, treating her first year like building a brand from nothing. Ambre landed her first client, a horse property buyer, within her first week in the business, and said the client never would have guessed she was brand new. Cayce lives by one question whenever fear creeps in: are you more scared of thirty seconds of discomfort, or of being broke? What's Actually Working in Their Businesses Right Now Amber built a client intake system that captures birthdays, pet names, and what each client is most excited or nervous about, feeding into VIP red-carpet closings inspired by fellow Rethink alumni Joe and Leti Torres. Cayce is pushing agents to build full two-to-four-week marketing plans for every listing before it ever hits the market, and to repurpose long-form video into smaller clips across platforms instead of posting once and moving on. Ambre created custom transition timelines and templates so clients always know what happens next, replacing one long consultation with a clear, ongoing communication plan. Gabriela is being far more intentional inside her CRM, segmenting contacts by where they actually are in their journey instead of sending the same generic newsletter to everyone. Their 5-Year Vision for Leadership and Business Cayce wants to keep pouring into her agents, helping newer agents ramp up faster and more experienced agents work smarter, not harder. Ambre is focused on sustainability, building a business that still leaves room for the hobbies and presence she does not want to lose. Amber is focused on buying back her time after realizing, in an unusually honest conversation with ChatGPT, that she had not taken a night off in ten years. The Mentors Who Believed in Them First Cayce credits her husband, her sister, and the leaders who saw her potential before she saw it in herself. Ambre points to her boyfriend and her Rethink Council network for believing in a career shift her own family was initially nervous about. Gabriela credits her family, including her two young sons, who she says are already showing early signs of catching the real estate bug. Amber credits a fellow association leader who nudged her into local leadership at a point when she was seriously considering leaving the industry altogether. "A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms." — Cayce Levine Favorite Podcasts, Books, and Quotes Gabriela - Quote: "You don't have to be the smartest person in the room. You have to be willing to learn, take action, and keep showing up."  Ambre - Quote: "Do it scared." Amber - Quote: "Nothing is impossible. The word itself says, "I'm possible." — Audrey Hepburn Cayce - Quote: "A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it, it just blooms."  Resources Connect with Teresa on LinkedIn Join the Women Who Lead Series on Facebook Subscribe on YouTube Listen on Spotify Listen on Apple Podcasts

The transaction, which closed on August 3, involved Ridgeline's interests in the Swift and Black Ridge earn-in agreements, as well as its Bell Creek and Atlas projects.The sale gives Ridgeline approximately C$33 million in cash and C$3 million in marketable securities. Together, those assets exceed the company's market capitalisation of about C$24.5 million, substantially reducing its near-term financing and dilution risk. Management says the strengthened treasury will support new project staking, exploration, potential acquisitions and, possibly, shareholder returns.Ridgeline retained its flagship Selena project, a 39-square-kilometre carbonate replacement deposit target being advanced through a US$20 million earn-in agreement with South32. South32 has committed US$4 million for drilling in 2026, fully funding the programme. The project gained importance after the 2025 discovery of high-grade massive sulphide mineralisation at the Chinchilla Sulphide zone. South32 has compared the early-stage discovery with its Taylor deposit in Arizona, although Selena does not yet have a formal mineral resource estimate.The company also continues to own Big Blue and Coyote outright. Big Blue is a copper-silver-tungsten exploration project with encouraging historical and recent drill and trench results. Coyote is an undrilled Carlin-type gold target located near NGM's Black Ridge project and approximately four kilometres from the Fallon gold resource, making it a potential partnership or transaction candidate.Ridgeline additionally holds a 17.3% stake in Spartan Metals and a 1% royalty on metals from Spartan's Eagle tungsten project. The company's next challenge is converting its financial strength and exploration portfolio into further discoveries, particularly through Selena's 2026 drilling and future work at its 100%-owned Nevada properties.View Ridgeline Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ridgeline-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Leadership does not wait for permission. It starts the moment someone decides to step forward, often long before they have a title to prove it. That is the theme of this episode, the next installment of our Next Wave Leader series featuring members of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Rethink Council.  I am joined by three agents who each found real estate through an unexpected door. Who are also now shaping how their markets do business. Meet the Leaders: Holly Darcy - REALTOR®, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Beach Properties of Florida She began her career as an elementary school teacher before building her own personal training business. She later found her home in real estate as a military spouse navigating constant change.  Holly is passionate about consistency and authentic personal branding, helping clients feel like they already know her before they ever meet. Asia Adair - REALTOR®, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Drysdale Properties Her real estate journey started as a special education teacher during the pandemic. It was shaped early on by following her mother into the business at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.  Asia excels at hyperlocal video marketing and disciplined client follow-up, and lives by the principle of giving more than she expects to get. Grace Stanzel - Co-Team Leader, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Ambassador Real Estate Her path into real estate started as a high school intern on the very team she now co-leads, inspiring a career built on full-circle mentorship.  Grace excels at consistent, personal client touchpoints and is passionate about giving new agents the same hands-on start she once received. From Classrooms and Career Changes to Real Estate Leadership Holly spent years as a teacher and later ran her own fitness and nutrition business before real estate. A conversation with a mentor at a personal crossroads gave her the push to get licensed. Asia taught special education through the pandemic before getting licensed, selling her first home while still teaching, and going full time the following summer. Grace interned with her current team her senior year of high school, then finished her college degree online while building her real estate business during COVID. When They First Saw Themselves as Leaders Asia points back to leadership roles she held before real estate, from school council president to founding her high school's Gay-Straight Alliance, and says the identity of "leader" only clicked once she found success in real estate. Holly credits a local Leadership Development Council program and the moments agents and clients turn to her for advice as the clearest sign she has become a trusted voice in her market. Grace talks about the full-circle moment of becoming a mentor to interns after starting her own career the same way. The Risk That Changed Their Business Holly says joining the Rethink Council came at a burnout point in her career, and became one of the most valuable decisions she has made. Grace talks about the risk of hiring a full-time operations director, and how betting on her business paid off in growth and client service. Social Media, Video, and AI: What Is Actually Working Grace focuses on intentional, high-quality listing videos built around the seller's story rather than generic content, and finds Instagram drives her strongest engagement. Asia uses hyperlocal geotagging on video content so her market's algorithm surfaces her to the right audience, and recommends agents use AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT to audit how they show up online. Holly treats her social media as a full extension of herself, mixing polished property marketing with everyday moments, and building a one-page digital bio she sends to new contacts and referral partners. What the Rising Age of First-Time Buyers Means for Agents With the median first-time buyer age now around 40 according to the National Association of Realtors, the panel discusses how to help younger buyers understand the long-term value of getting into the market early. Holly shares her own story of buying her first home in 2010 and points to home price data over time as proof that time in the market matters more than timing it. Grace focuses on patience and education, reminding younger buyers that the process can take time and that having the right team makes all the difference. Favorite Podcasts, Books, and Quotes Holly - Book: SHIFT: How Top Real Estate Agents Tackle Tough Times by Gary Keller (an early read before getting licensed) Quote: "People always remember the way you treat them." Podcast: Aspire with Emma Grede (recommended after hearing a Gary Vee episode on soft skills) Asia - Quote: "Give more than you expect to get." (her guiding principle in business, inspired by The Go-Giver) Grace - Quote: "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right." — Henry Ford "Leadership isn't something we wait for. It's something we practice one conversation, one decision, one courageous step at a time." — Teresa Palacios Smith When you help another woman rise, we all shine. And that's how we make an impact.

Season 9 of The Interior Collective Podcast is brought to you by Materio. Hi, and welcome back to The Interior Collective. I'm your host, Anastasia Casey, and I'm so glad to have a returning guest with us today. Julia Miller is the founder and creative director of Yond Interiors, a full-service residential design studio based in Minneapolis that serves clients across the country. Her work has been featured in Architectural Digest, The Wall Street Journal, RUE, Sunset, and more, and she's been recognized by House Beautiful's Next Wave and The Expert Top 40. Beyond Yond, Julia is the co-founder of Brunel, a custom furniture shop rooted in craftsmanship, and the founder of The Studio Table — a mentoring program built around the real operations of a working design firm. When Julia came back to the show, we had planned to dig into the systems and process side of her practice. But in the lead-up to this conversation, she brought up something she felt was even more foundational — and honestly, I couldn't agree more. Today we're talking about creative mindset: what it actually takes to get into the frame of mind to do your best work, how to protect that creativity throughout the lifecycle of a project, and what happens when the pressure of running a business starts to crowd out the thing that made you want to do this in the first place. This one is a little different, a little more personal, and I think it's going to resonate deeply.S2 E5: The Logistics of Distance DesignYond InteriorsBrunelStudio Table The Interior Collective: Website | YoutubeIDCO Studio: Website | InstagramKwin Made: Website | InstagramDesign Camp: Website | Instagram

Who are the biggest fantasy football breakout candidates for the 2026 season? Joe Pisapia is joined by Andrew Erickson and Tera Roberts to break down the second-year players they believe are primed for massive fantasy production. The trio discusses why Quentin Johnston could thrive in Mike McDaniel's new-look Chargers offense, why Omarion Hampton has RB1 overall upside, and why Cam Skattebo is being overlooked after an injury-shortened rookie season. They also dive into why Emeka Egbuka, Tyler Shough, and Isaiah Likely are all poised to take significant steps forward in 2026 fantasy football drafts. If you're preparing for your fantasy football draft and looking for league-winning breakout players before their ADP rises, this episode is packed with actionable insights.
