This episode marks the first official installment of our brand-new segment, The Bigfoot Inquiry — a new evidence-driven series where Brian King-Sharp and Dr. Hogan Sherrow take on the Bigfoot topics most people in the community either avoid, dismiss, or simply refuse to talk about honestly.This will most likely become a weekly segment, with Hogan and Brian digging into the claims, controversies, evidence, personalities, and long-standing debates that continue to shape the Sasquatch world.And for the first episode, there may be no bigger place to begin than with the most famous piece of Bigfoot evidence ever captured: the Patterson-Gimlin Film.For decades, the PGF has stood at the center of the Bigfoot debate. To some, it is the strongest visual evidence ever recorded of an unknown North American primate. To others, it is nothing more than a well-executed hoax. But with the release of the new documentary Capturing Bigfoot, new questions, perspectives, and claims are being brought into the conversation — some of which may challenge what we know, or at least what we think we know, about the film.So what happens when 16 years of law enforcement experience meets nearly 30 years of primate behavioral research? That's the foundation of The Bigfoot Inquiry.Hosted by former police officer Brian King-Sharp and Dr. Hogan Sherrow, PhD in Evolutionary Anthropology, this segment approaches the Sasquatch phenomenon through two very different but complementary lenses: real investigative procedure and scientific analysis. Brian brings 16 years of experience analyzing crime scenes, evaluating witness credibility, reconstructing events, and asking the uncomfortable questions that often separate assumption from evidence. Dr. Sherrow brings nearly three decades of studying primate behavioral ecology in the wild, with expertise in locomotion, habitat, social behavior, evolutionary biology, and the realities of how primates move, survive, adapt, and leave evidence behind. Together, Brian and Hogan examine Bigfoot claims with structure, skepticism, curiosity, and respect.In this debut episode, they dive into: The enduring mystery of the Patterson-Gimlin Film• Why the film still matters nearly six decades later• The arguments for and against its authenticity• The new questions raised by the Capturing Bigfoot documentary• What law enforcement-style analysis can bring to the PGF debate• What primate behavior and evolutionary anthropology can reveal• Why some evidence deserves closer scrutiny — even when it makes people uncomfortable.This is not campfire storytelling. It is not blind belief. And it is not mockery. It is structured inquiry Because if Sasquatch exists, the evidence should be able to withstand scrutiny. And if it does not — we will say that too.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

Snow Himbo of Prolepilled discusses the transnational class who are bypassing traditional political divides to implement a surveillance state powered by massive data centers, the foundations of a “digital prison.” This system aims to enforce control through CBDCs, digital IDs, and AI-driven social credit systems, leading to a state of techno-feudalism. The dialogue further explores the potential for geopolitical shifts, such as the baton of global power being handed to China and the orchestrated integration of North American nations into a single technate. Snow expresses skepticism toward alternative media figures, suggesting many are controlled opposition designed to keep the public tethered to the existing power structure. The data centers are a rally point, we also must exit their systems. Watch on BitChute / Brighteon / Rumble / Substack / YouTube *Support Geopolitics & Empire!

Samuel de Champlain (1567-1635) championed the colonization efforts of New France. He capitalized on the North American fur trade to expand French colonies, which were at that time centered on the Saint Lawrence River valley and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. He worked tirelessly to make sure the French colonies survived amid political and corporate changes of power. Champlain also left the World a prolific body of writings that provide an invaluable window into the challenging, yet fascinating, early period of a fledgling New France.

Interview with Graham Downs, President & CEO, Cascadia MineralsRecording date: 12th May 2026Cascadia Minerals is making significant strides in the central Yukon following its merger with Granite Creek Copper to acquire the Carmacks copper-gold deposit. As major mining companies increasingly seek reliable assets in stable jurisdictions, Cascadia is positioning itself as a prime player with this road-accessible, high-grade project located just 10 kilometers from grid power.Unlike typical broadly disseminated porphyry systems, the Carmacks deposit features upgraded, structurally controlled zones averaging 50 meters wide at approximately 1.5% copper. The project currently boasts a resource of 651 million pounds of copper and 300,000 ounces of gold at over 1% copper equivalent. Because the deposit comes to the surface with clean granite contacts, future mining operations and wall rock characterization are expected to be notably straightforward.To unlock the project's full potential, Cascadia launched a 15,000 to 20,000-meter drill program for 2026, aiming to double the existing resource to 1.5 billion pounds of copper. Thanks to the site's excellent infrastructure, drilling costs have plummeted to $400 per meter—a stark contrast to the $500,000-plus per hole often required at remote, helicopter-accessed projects. A key focus of this year's program is Zone A, located 11 kilometers north of the main deposit. Historical drilling here revealed exceptional grades, including 22 meters of 2% copper and 2 grams per ton of gold.Agnico Eagle has recognized the project's potential, taking a 14% strategic stake to fund exploration through 2027. This partnership also includes a $12 million earn-in option for Cascadia's grassroots Stikine terrain projects. With this financial backing and a resource that is already mostly in the measured and indicated categories, Cascadia plans to bypass a Preliminary Economic Assessment. Instead, the company will leverage existing baseline environmental work to advance directly to a Pre-Feasibility Study, fast-tracking the timeline for this promising North American copper asset.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/atac-resources-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

This week we're covering Asian jumping worms — and yes, they actually jump. These invasive earthworms from East Asia are tearing through the leaf litter of North American forests at an alarming rate, turning healthy soil into something that looks like used coffee grounds and leaving nothing behind for native plants to grow in. We cover how to identify them, why the Northeast is especially vulnerable, how one worm can start an entire infestation on its own, and what you can actually do about it. Check your garden before you listen. Actually, check it after too.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Doomberg to the show. Doomberg is Head Writer For The Doomberg Team and Creator of the Doomberg Substack. The podcast explores the current geopolitical and energy landscape, focusing on the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and potential global power dynamics. Discussing the current energy market disruptions, Doomberg suggests that while the Strait of Hormuz closure is significant, the market has been surprisingly stable. He estimates the potential oil supply disruption at around 8 million barrels per day, significantly lower than some analysts’ predictions. The sophisticated oil markets have absorbed these challenges, with China potentially playing a crucial role by releasing strategic reserves and managing supply. The conversation delves into a potential grand geopolitical bargain that might be discussed in the upcoming meeting between Trump and Xi in Beijing. Doomberg speculates about a potential realignment of global interests, including a settlement of the Ukraine conflict on terms favorable to Russia, ceding Taiwan to China’s sphere of influence, and dividing Middle Eastern and Arctic territories among major powers. Regarding the US dollar and global economic shifts, Doomberg argues that we’re moving towards a multipolar or potentially Chinese-dominated unipolar world. He sees the sanctions against Russia after Crimea as the beginning of a new world order, with China and Russia challenging US global dominance. The discussion highlights the United States’ significant natural gas advantage, with the country producing 110 billion cubic feet per day and poised to become a major LNG exporter. Doomberg emphasizes the potential for North American energy dominance, particularly through clean and abundant natural gas. Looking forward, Doomberg suggests a potential multipolar world with the US focusing on its Western Hemisphere, China gaining prominence, and Russia finding its place. He remains cautiously optimistic about a potential diplomatic resolution to current global tensions, while acknowledging the complexity of geopolitical negotiations.

Is our digital legacy the final frontier of storytelling?In this episode, we sit down with Miles Spencer, a serial entrepreneur, world traveler, and the founder of Reflecta AI. Spencer, who co-created the long-running PBS series Money Hunt, has dedicated his career to the power of narrative. Now, he is using artificial intelligence to bridge the gap between physical archives—like shoe boxes of old photos and letters—and a dynamic, conversational digital legacy that allows families to preserve the voices and stories of their loved ones.Beyond technology, Spencer shares insights from his global travels, including following the footsteps of T.E. Lawrence through the Middle East and mentoring entrepreneurs in Cuba. We explore the strategic importance of "gateway cities" like Havana and Damascus, the surprising similarities between cultures we often view as different, and how human decency often overrides geopolitical tensions.In this episode, we discuss:The DNA of Storytelling: How being the 23rd of 24 children in a family of Pennsylvania storytellers shaped Spencer's worldview.Reflecta AI: Creating "AI for humanity" through spontaneous and dynamic digital legacies.The Jurassic Park of Islands: Observations from mentoring technologists in Cuba during a brief window of diplomatic opening.A "Halftime" View of Syria: Experiences in Damascus between conflicts and the strategic realities of location versus resources.The Homogeneity Trap: Why the relative similarity of North American culture can make the diversity of the rest of the world feel more remote than it actually is.Send us Fan Mail Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

Host: Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles Guest(s): Ken Roberts Published: May 14, 2026 Length: 58:39 Presented by: Global Training Center Summary In this episode of Simply Trade, Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles welcome back trade data expert Ken Roberts of WorldCity for a timely look at the numbers shaping U.S. imports, exports, and global trade strategy. With trade policy, tariffs, supply chain shifts, AI demand, and geopolitical uncertainty all moving at once, Ken helps break down what the latest data is really showing. The conversation covers major changes in U.S. trade flows, including shifts involving China, Mexico, Taiwan, Vietnam, Switzerland, Ireland, and Canada. Ken explains why certain categories, like gold, computers, AI-related hardware, pharmaceuticals, oil, beef, and vehicles, are seeing dramatic swings. He also highlights how front-loading ahead of tariffs, changing sourcing strategies, and evolving global demand are showing up in the numbers. This episode matters because trade data is more than statistics. It is a window into where companies are sourcing, where markets are moving, and how business leaders should think about risk, opportunity, and long-term strategy in a changing global economy. Main Topic / Discussion This episode focuses on current U.S. trade trends and what recent import and export data reveals about the changing global economy. Ken Roberts explains how trade volumes, deficits, product categories, and partner-country rankings are shifting in response to tariffs, AI infrastructure demand, energy markets, pharmaceutical movements, and geopolitical uncertainty. A major theme is the continued reshaping of supply chains away from traditional patterns. China remains a major trade partner, but Ken points to significant declines in certain China-related trade flows, while countries like Mexico, Vietnam, and Taiwan are gaining importance. Taiwan's growth is tied heavily to computer hardware and AI-related infrastructure, while Mexico continues to play a major role in cross-border trade and manufacturing. The conversation also explores the difference between merchandise trade and services trade, why trade deficits matter, and how U.S. ports, airports, and border crossings are affected by changes in commodity flows. Ken also shares thoughts on the future of USMCA, export market opportunities, and why trade professionals should pay close attention to the data before making assumptions. Key Takeaways • U.S. trade patterns are shifting quickly as tariffs, AI demand, and geopolitical pressures reshape global supply chains. • Mexico remains a critical U.S. trade partner, while Taiwan and Vietnam are gaining importance in specific import categories. • AI infrastructure demand is driving major increases in computer hardware and related imports from Taiwan. • Gold, pharmaceuticals, oil, beef, vehicles, and computer equipment are all showing notable movement in the latest trade data. • China's role in U.S. trade is changing, with some product categories moving to other countries and new questions emerging around rules of origin. • USMCA remains an important area to watch as companies evaluate sourcing, manufacturing, and North American trade strategy. • Trade data can help businesses identify risks, spot market opportunities, and make more informed decisions about sourcing and exports.

The North American continent is vast and often unforgiving, containing countless remote regions where visitors can all too easily come to harm. One such place lies deep within the American state of New Mexico, in a sprawling belt of wilderness situated between two immense national forests. It is a lonely and isolated landscape, harsh in both climate and terrain, where numerous people have disappeared under mysterious circumstances over the years. Many were never seen again, their souls long gone by now, but far from forgotten.

The challenges to recruiting enough men for service in the Royal Navy and the Army and Militia were formidable.  It is revealed that the War of 1812 was really one war too many for Britain.   The necessity to supply seamen for the new North American Lake service meant that the Royal Navy did not have enough men to staff the newly produced ships.  The Mediterranean command and the North American commands were both screaming or more ships.  The Army had its challenges as well.  Losses exceeded new recruits from standard methods every year, but 1807.  Special efforts were required.The Militia had its own challenges, needing to put down the Luddite Riots 1811-1813.

In this special EMS One-Stop update, Rob Lawrence is joined by returning guest Dr. Alex Isakov to break down the rapidly developing Andes Hantavirus outbreak linked to the expedition cruise ship MV Hondius.

In about five weeks, adland will take over a small resort city in the south of France for a weeklong industry bonanza. The 2026 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is on the horizon, slated for the last full week of June and rest assured, the medical marketing community will be there in force.  Nearly one month ago, the juries for Health & Wellness Lions and the Pharma Lions were announced, featuring a few North American-based creatives, including Chris Charles, executive creative director of Real Chemistry subsidiary 21Grams. You might remember Chris and his team for their Gold Pharma Lions-winning work on behalf of Biogen for Friedreich's Back, a darkly humorous campaign focused on the often terminal, rare condition Friedreich's ataxia. For this week's episode, Chris joins executive editor Jack O'Brien for a conversation about the early stages of the sizable task undertaken by the Cannes pharma jury and what trends he's keeping an eye on as they analyze the nominated work.  He also reflects on the success of Frederich's Back and why Cannes is important to pharma marketers. For our Trends segment, we're talking about the frustrating, mixed public health messaging surrounding the hantavirus cruise ship outbreak.

Jonathan Conricus has returned from a short North American speaking tour and joined me on Sunday evening to take a close look at where things stand with America and Iran. It is challenging to keep up and even more difficult to decode the often-conflicting messages issued by the main protagonists: the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran. We get into the possible responses that may come from the parties and the implications for the region and the world. Who is running Iran these days and making decisions? Unclear but we have a pretty good idea. Will Iran act on its threats to impose taxes on all maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz? How about their latest initiative - to tax all data passing through internet cables that are laid at the bottom of the Persian Gulf? Or - maybe they will sever the cables and disrupt global commerce? So many possibilities and we get into them all. Why is Iran attacking the UAE so consistently and hard? And why is the UAE not responding? Oh - and we also spend a bit of time marveling at the tendency of western media to accept the “spin” coming out of Iran, pretty. much unquestioningly.This pod was recorded on Sunday night, but it is current as of 10 am EST on Tuesday. At the end of the episode I include a short clip of Conricus speaking on Monday to media. He addresses America's rejection of the Iranian response to the most recent U.S. proposal to…..formalize the ceasefire? End the war? This became public after we recorded on Sunday night.

Next month, the FIFA World Cup returns to North American soil, marking a transformative moment for the sport of soccer on this continent. But to understand the current state of the US Men's National Team as they prepare to host the world, one must first examine their complex and often turbulent relationship with their greatest rival: Mexico. In this episode, we welcome back soccer journalist, historian and Episode 270 guest Hal Phillips, author of the definitive new book, "Sibling Rivalry: How Mexico and the US Built the Most Contentious, Co-Dependent Feud in World Soccer." Phillips' work frames the rivalry with El Tri not just as a series of games, but as a "co-dependent feud" that has fundamentally shaped the national identities of both countries. We trace the narrative arc from the Americans' 1934 World Cup qualifier success in Rome through the grueling 46-year "dark age" where the US failed to secure a single victory against their neighbors. Phillips takes us through the pivotal shifts of the 1990s and the birth of the "Dos a Cero" era, explaining how the professionalization of the American game turned a lopsided regional dominance into an ever-escalating athletic confrontation of equals. Beyond the tactics on the pitch, we discuss the deeper cultural and geopolitical baggage that makes this rivalry unique. From the personal stories of dual-national stars caught between two flags to the economic realities of the "Border War," Phillips explains why this rivalry was the necessary forge for American soccer's survival. As this year's World Cup beckons, we explore whether these two "siblings" are finally ready to step out of each other's shadows and challenge the global elite. + + +    SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY BUY THE BOOK:  "Sibling Rivalry: How Mexico and the US Built the Most Contentious, Co-Dependent Feud in World Soccer": https://amzn.to/3PxRbjK SPONSOR THANKS:  Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/

You probably *think* you're eating enough. But are you?In today's episode, Dr. Erin Ayala talks with performance dietitian and eating‑disorder specialist Rebecca McConville about Low Energy Availability (LEA) and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED‑S) — and how even athletes (especially female athletes!) who think they're fueling enough might not be for the amount of activity they're doing.Rebecca breaks down the science behind LEA/RED‑S, shares practical strategies for athletes and coaches to identify and prevent under‑fueling, and explains how to create sustainable, performance‑enhancing nutrition plans.Key takeaways:LEA/RED‑S is actually a continuum of under‑fueling that can affect athletes of any size, not just “thin” competitors.Early warning signs include subtle changes in mood, sleep, menstrual cycles, bone health, and performance plateaus.Use the “energy bank” analogy (deposits vs. withdrawals) to understand deficits.Practical fueling hacks: portable “snacker boxes,” energy‑dense smoothies, and scheduled micro‑meals for busy women.A year‑long recovery roadmap (baseline assessment → acute intervention → long‑term monitoring) helps sustain health and performance.Rebecca McConville is a performance dietitian, eating‑disorder specialist, and author of Finding Your Sweet Spot. She helps athletes recognize, diagnose, and treat LEA/RED‑S through evidence‑based nutrition and holistic coaching.Links & ResourcesRebecca's website & email: AskMe@BeccaMcConville.comRead the book: Finding Your Sweet SpotFollow her on Instagram: @rebeccaeddietitian Join Feisty at the Grand Traverse in Duluth, MN on October 3rd!

Brian Greenway: April Wine In 1977, guitarist Brian Greenway joined April Wine in time for the band's rise to international fame with the 1978 album, “First Glance,” and its classic single, “Roller.” From there, the hits kept coming with radio mainstays “I Like to Rock,” “Sign of the Gypsy Queen,” “Just Between You and Me” and “Enough is Enough,” among others. He joins us from the road where April Wine is supporting fellow Canadian rock legends, Triumph, on a hit-packed North American tour, and kindly indulges us as we ask about the vintage songs (plus an obscure one), the band's legacy and whether or not new music is on the list.

 Recording date: 4th May 2026Olive Resource Capital reported strong performance in April 2026, delivering double-digit returns that significantly outpaced traditional mining indices, which posted flat to modest gains. The outperformance was driven primarily by stock-specific gains rather than broader commodity trends, highlighting the fund's emphasis on targeted investment selection.The firm has simultaneously adopted a more defensive posture, increasing cash holdings to over $3 million—more than half of its liquid assets—following the monetisation of its Aurion Resources position after a takeover by Agnico Eagle, along with selective trimming of other holdings. Despite this, the portfolio remains approximately 85% invested, reflecting a balanced approach between caution and opportunity.A key concern shaping strategy is the perceived underpricing of geopolitical risks tied to the Iran-Strait of Hormuz situation. While oil prices remain elevated, management believes equity markets are overly optimistic about a quick resolution and are failing to account for potential prolonged supply disruptions, particularly affecting Asia-Pacific economies. As a result, the fund has reduced exposure to that region and shifted focus toward North American assets, which are viewed as more resilient due to stronger domestic energy infrastructure.The fund also identified a shift in market dynamics from momentum-driven gains to a more selective, catalyst-driven environment. In this new phase, meaningful stock performance depends on significant corporate developments rather than general sector tailwinds.Looking ahead, Olive Resource Capital is positioning around several anticipated catalysts, including economic assessments, resource updates, and active drilling programs across multiple portfolio companies. This strategy aims to generate returns through company-specific developments while maintaining flexibility to navigate potential volatility.Overall, the fund combines strong recent performance with prudent risk management, adapting to both changing market conditions and evolving geopolitical uncertainties.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The Tragically Hip On Shuffle - Live Stream: Looking For A Place To HappenA Halifax 2015 live cut, a 40-person Off Ramp show in 1991, and a panel that pulls the deep American Hipstory out of "Fully Completely."Episode OverviewThis week on The Tragically Hip On Shuffle, host jD spins 'Looking For A Place To Happen' - track two from the 1992 Chris Tsangarides-produced "Fully Completely." It is the sequencer's burden to live between 'Courage' and 'At The Hundredth Meridian,' and the panel is here to figure out what it's hauling.The roundtable is a North American one this time. Dave from Montreal joins jD alongside two lifelong friends and bandmates, Greg from Tacoma and Chris from Seattle, who have been playing music together since 1981 and watching The Tragically Hip every chance they got. Greg's first Hip show was a 40-person night at The Off Ramp in 1991, opening for The Sundays, where Gord opened 'Looking For A Place To Happen' with a frogman-for-the-cops story instead of a killer-whale-tank one. Chris saw The Hip up close at the Under The Rail and watched Gord catch a flying beer mid-line without missing a beat.The conversation runs deep. The panel reads the song as a great Canadian travelogue working on multiple levels at once - the Jacques Cartier exterior, the interior landscape of a songwriter and a touring band looking for places to happen, and the foreshadowing of what would later become Gord's most public work around indigenous rights. There is talk of bootleg pre-shows, the legendary monologues that never made the record, the 'plaintive plaintive whale' outro that lives only in old recordings, and the beautiful curse of being the eleventh-best song on a record this good.The opener question this week was favourite last song on a Hip album. Dave goes with 'Emperor Penguin' from "Phantom Power" - heard on Saint Laurent at midnight after grabbing a tape from Sam The Record Man, and only ever heard live once, in Quebec City on the We Are The Same tour. Chris picks 'The Wherewithal' from "Live Between Us," recorded at Cobo Arena in Detroit, where he could throw a rock and hit Windsor as a kid. Greg represents the Northwest with 'Goodnight Josephine' from "In Between Evolution," recorded in his rainy hometown.Songs come up for a reason.Quick Facts: Looking For A Place To HappenAlbum: "Fully Completely" (1992)Track: 2 of 12Producer: Chris TsangaridesFirst live performance: February 4, 1991Last live performance: October 15, 2015TTHTop40 Countdown ranking: #35 (of 169 tracks)Live version featured on the stream: Halifax, 2015 (Fully And Completely tour)PanelistsDave from Montreal A Tragically Hip fan since the band came calling on much music.

The war in Iran has radically changed the way that oil and gas moves around the globe. Since the war began, North American energy exports – such as petroleum and liquefied natural gas – have increased. Now, there is pressure on Canada to meet the increased demand. The Globe's energy reporter, Emma Graney, is on the show to explain how some Canadian companies are changing course to try to meet that demand, what's getting in the way for other Canadian companies to do the same and what all this means for a transition away from fossil fuels.

The dominant structural shift addressed is the move of platform vendors away from competing on feature sets toward controlling the governance and billing layer that underpins managed services. This is evident in moves by Microsoft, AWS, and Kaseya, specifically with Microsoft's new licensing tier combining per-seat fees with consumption-based AI add-ons, AWS redefining managed services around agents, and Kaseya introducing action-based pricing for IT management. Analysts noted that these developments collectively place a consumption meter on previously flat-rate services, reconfiguring how MSPs and IT providers will be billed and held accountable. Primary evidence for this shift includes data from Omdia's channel media report and tracked M&A activity within the MSP sector. The report counted 169 MSP acquisitions in 2025, mirroring prior years' activity, yet identified that one acquirer—Evergreen Services Group—accounted for 47 deals, illustrating a concentration in acquisition strategies. Notably, 69% of publicly announced deals involved private equity, with the remainder pursued by independent operators. The North American channel media landscape saw significant contraction, with titles dropping from 29 to 18, despite stability in the global outlet count—attributed to both industry consolidation and AI-driven changes in content discovery. Supporting developments include growing use of AI in content production, leading to declining traffic for B2B publications as audiences increasingly access information through automated tools rather than direct visits. The rise of engagement-focused business models and shifts in acquisition criteria—such as Evergreen targeting founder-led MSPs—underscore evolving buyer strategies. Additionally, platform vendors are restructuring their product and pricing models around agent-driven and action-based billing, while shifting their external positioning to emphasize AI, intelligence, and cyber resilience. Operationally, MSPs and IT leaders face increased pricing and margin variability driven by emerging consumption-based licensing and AI service models. The historical per-user, per-month bundle is at risk as vendors experiment with new billing constructs, exposing providers to cost unpredictability and complicating client contracts. Providers lacking internal engineering or acquisition frameworks may be especially exposed, while consolidation and vendor dependency raise governance and accountability stakes. MSPs pursuing higher margin services, such as compliance or cyber resilience offerings, must prepare for new cost structures and intensifying pressure from both customers and vendors regarding efficiency, pricing, and service outcomes.Supported by:  Zero Networks Moovila   Upcoming event:  The Pivotal Point of IT: Building Services for the AI-First Era Date: May 13 at 1p.m. EDT Register: https://go.acronis.com/davesobelaiera

Eggs also contain key omega-3 fatty acids, and yolks are particularly rich in phospholipids, which constitute nearly 30% of total egg lipids and are essential for neurotransmitter receptor function.
