Dr. Ben Skutnik, PhD, CSCS*D, NSCA-CPT*D, is an Assistant Professor of Kinesiology and Human Performance Lab Director at Butler University and Head of Nutrition Coaching at Power Athlete. Dr. Ben Skutnik joins the show to separate fact from fad in aerobic training, debunking zone 2 hype and explaining why VO2 max matters but isn't everything. Expect to learn why reading scientific literature is its own skill, how uncontrolled variables quietly derail hypertrophy and menstrual-cycle training research, why treating people as fragile backfires, why anecdote in human performance often outruns the research, how "closing the loop" with clients beats chasing mechanisms, what the Norwegian 4x4 method gets right (and what most zone 2 research gets wrong about training zones), and how to actually build VO2 max with the critical power model, and much more.

Andreas Leknessund takes his first Grand Tour stage victory in Stage 7 of the Vuelta a España Stage 7 takes the race 149.7km from Vall d'Alba to Ramón Valdelinares, over the mountains with an ascent of 12,300 ft. The route starts off reasonably gently, but after 52 kilometres, the riders approach the first of the five mountain classifications of the day. With UNO-X securing a Norwegian one-two, Andreas Leknessund wins stage 7: his first Grand Tour stage victory! Team-mate Johannessen ensures that Norwegian one-two on a day doused in mourning for Norway due to the passing of King Harald, making that victory feel particularly memorable. We get into Leknessund's attack, stats between Brennan, Pogačar & Merckx, and Pete even manages to sneak in a Christmas mention in August! Ned Boulting and Pete Kennaugh break down Stage 7 of the Vuelta a España. --------------------------------------------

A seven-night Norwegian Jewel cruise review from Philadelphia to Bermuda and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Jacob shares what it was like sailing from Philadelphia's developing cruise terminal, including the unusual hotel check-in and shuttle process, as well as his first impressions of the 21-year-old Norwegian Jewel.

View This Week's Show NotesJuliet and I are officially empty nesters. Both girls are launched, the bathroom is clean every morning, and we're figuring out what the next phase looks like. It rhymes with dusk bike rides, protein shakes for dinner, and a cereal bar in Marin we somehow didn't know existed until now.We also revisited one of our longest-running household debates: women's pain tolerance. An Instagram infographic claiming childbirth equals breaking 20 bones made the rounds and reignited everything. We cover what the McGill pain scale actually says, why medical research has failed women on pain, and the full story of my eardrum, which ends with blood in the ER and a pain scale I have never quite recovered from.From there we got into our book Outplay and the data shaping every youth sports conversation right now. The number everyone cites is that 70% of kids drop out of sport by age 13. A researcher on LinkedIn tried to find the primary source and came up empty. So did researchers at the Aspen Institute. So did everyone else. We unpack what the CDC data actually shows and why citation drift doesn't mean youth sports is fine.The biggest chunk of this episode is something I wanted to make sure we gave real time to: what two years of running the Starrett System has actually taught us. Most people coming into the program weren't working a coherent physical practice at all. They might have been doing some weight training or riding a Peloton, but nobody was hitting all three legs of the longevity triangle: strength, conditioning, and mobility. Nobody was sprinting. And a lot of people believed that the moment they felt discomfort, they should stop.Watching that shift has been one of the most rewarding things we've done. Member Lily gained 5.4 pounds of lean mass in eight months. Cole said he's craving training every day for the first time. The fall cohort starts September 8th. Early bird: $200 off at starrettsystem.com.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy the "70% of kids drop out of sports by age 13" statistic cited by the American Academy of Pediatrics and major sports governing bodies may have no verifiable primary source, and what the CDC and Aspen Institute data actually showsWhy the claim that childbirth equals breaking 20 bones is a myth, and what the McGill pain scale says is actually more painfulWhy medical research has historically underserved women on pain, and how self-reporting skews the pictureWhat two years of running the Starrett System revealed about what most people were actually missing in their physical practiceWhy having a strength practice, a conditioning practice, and mobility work are three separate things, and why most people were only doing one of themWhat the "longevity triangle" is and why most wellness and longevity conferences have almost no conversation about itHow teaching people to train around injuries and physical limitations, rather than stop, has been one of the biggest shifts for Starrett System membersWhy the program's nutrition approach centers on abundance and eliminating nothing, and what happens when people who have been chronically underfueling start eating enoughKey Highlights(00:00) Welcome to RECESS / Kelly and Juliet go officially empty nest(00:31) The bathroom story and Byron Katie's towel wisdom via Gabby Reese(03:19) Life as empty nesters: bike rides at dusk, protein shakes, cereal for dessert(04:43) Listener ask: send your best recipes for two(05:18) Women vs. men pain tolerance: the debate renewed(06:44) Kelly's eardrum story(08:57) McGill pain scale and Juliet's finger(11:11) Outplay: preparing families for youth sports(13:32) Pay-to-play, private equity, and the Norwegian youth sports model(16:26) The 70% dropout stat and its missing primary source(19:12) Starrett System: origin story from the YPO conference(26:48) Starrett System: member results and the September 8th fall cohort(30:41) Cereal bar in Marin and the great Raisin Bran debate(34:07) Wrap and early bird CTA

We had no idea that this was were Jung would take us, but here we are again, at the two major brinks of most parapolitical research the richest Funders and MKUltra, beyond which lies nothing but the hadal zone. We are nonetheless so happy that you have come this far with us and that you pushed us to do it. We did a lot this year together, Lebensborn, Mesmer, The Männerbund, Slave breeding, Renaissance cryptography and Rune Magic in Atlantis the list goes on. Thanks for all your comment and appreciation, this 99th episode, the longest to date and perhaps the most eye opening. If you eventually find you self agreeing after struggling through it all, we ask that you leave us more comments, that you share the episode on the internet and tell others in person and then in return we will promise you a third season. The music tonight is a lot of medieval dungeon synth from Fief aka Out of Season, dark religious industrial ambience from the many talented creators over at the Cryo Chamber label, two tracks from Ellen Sundberg paraphrasing Kjell Höglund one of the greatest Swedish prog and folk troubadours, and finally samples from the Babylon Berlin soundtrack.Cover art walk-through:I think this might be one of my best so far. The background is a painting of the famous motif "the fall of icarus" the original is from Hendrick Goltzius during the Northern renaissance late 1500s. I could not find out if he also did this version with the black sun or if that is latter paraphrase. Then we have three colorized portraits of an old Jung, a young Himmler and a midlife Dulles. Dulles is smoking a pipe to which I added some colorful smoke effects trying to make it look like he is chasing the Völkisch dragon. A dragon being slained by St George painted by Gustav Adolf Cloß for his book Vier Vorträge über Wappen in 1937. It is an example of the NSDAP's attempt to symbolically fuse the supposed pagan Aryan religion with christian motifs, a theme which will be heavily dealt with in this episode. Under Jung is a Norwegian propaganda poster from 1943 when the Waffen SS began to be portrayed as mythical soldiers of the past either as Vikings (as in this case) or Goths or Teutons. I will read almost in full a speech transcript when Himmler lays out this Jungian historico-relativist tale. Finally Sebbe managed to connect this story to the arch protagonist of the entire podcast and thus his plaza is depicted in the middle, as it stands on 22 acres between 48th Street and 51st Street in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City, you can guess who for now dear listener. We want to again give a thousand thanks to all of you hundreds of patreons and thousands of subscribing listeners who have made this possible over the last three years! We would never have learned so much without you. No AI writing, research, editing, music, recording or cover art is a lot of work after all.

On Christmas Eve 1989, Norway received a massive Christmas present. After years of failed drilling attempts, Norway announced they had discovered one of the largest oil reserves on Earth. This remarkable find would immediately transform Norway from a quiet, industrial, and fishing-based economy into one of the world's ten largest exporters of fossil fuels.  Unlike other countries with massive natural resources, Norway adopted a long-term strategy to invest its oil revenue.

Set in northern Norway near the town of Lakselev, the creepypasta follows a recent transplant exploring the dense forest of Isengleskogen who encounters a beautiful, woman effortlessly gliding through the snow without leaving any footprints. As he pursues her deeper into the wilderness, he quickly becomes lost as his own tracks mysteriously vanish—a disorientation reminiscent of Norwegian folklore surrounding huldre or utburd trickery—while the woman's pristine appearance violently decays before his eyes into a blue, skeletal, frostbitten corpse. Frantically fleeing from this supernatural entity as the sun sets over the freezing woods, the narrator falls into a hypnotic trance induced by her icy gaze and the numbing cold, only escaping when he finally stumbles back upon the edge of town, forever haunted by the malevolent spirit in the snow.

Martine Vik Magnussen was a 23-year-old Norwegian student living in London, with a bright future ahead of her.After a night out with friends, Martine disappeared. What followed would become one of London's most high-profile murder investigations, involving a suspect who fled the country and a family who have spent years searching for answers. This is the story of Martine, the investigation into her death, and the extraordinary circumstances that have surrounded the case ever since.I release episodes of the UK True Crime podcast every Tuesday and Friday, so please do join me on Tuesday for the next episode.Find out more about me, Adam Lloyd, & UK True Crimehttps://uktruecrime.comSupport me at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrimeBuy Me a Coffeehttps://buymeacoffee.com/uktruecrimepodcastWatch my YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@Adam-uktruecrime/videosJoin UK True Crime Facebook Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrime Hosted on Acast.

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast, we've got two guys who might seem miles apart musically, but who are fans of each other's work nonetheless. It's Sondre Lerche and William Basinski. Lerche is the Norwegian pop master who's released a ton of amazing records over the past couple of decades. He's flirted with jazzy sounds and more straightforward chamber pop, and he's also spent time doing soundtrack work. His career took an interesting turn recently with a starring role in the stage musical Moulin Rouge!, which kept him away from his own music-making for a while. But he returns now with Acrobats, a gorgeously rendered album on which he tries to reconcile falling in love with life in what feels like a cruel world. (Don't worry, you can still sing along.) Check out the song “Little Kids” from Acrobats right here. You know what you probably won't be singing along to? William Basinski's breakthrough ambient masterpiece The Disintegration Loops. If you're not familiar, The Disintegration Loops came about when Basinski began recording the sound of some of his older works, which were on magnetic tape, decaying. Looped over the course of about five hours, the sounds are mesmerizing and occasionally scary. They were finished on September 11, 2001, and became inextricably linked with the terror attacks of that day. They've since been reissued several times, and now the loops are even being performed live by symphony orchestras, a topic that's touched on here. There's a lot more to Basinski's career than I can touch on in one paragraph, but check out The Disintegration Loops if you never have—it's an experience. So why are these two guys chatting, one a pop maker and the other making floating soundscapes? Well it turns out that Lerche is a fan of Basinski's, and he even referenced The Disintegration Loops in a 2022 song called “Avatars of Love.” The two have since met and become friends, as you'll hear in this chat. They talk about Lerche's time in the musical, about Basinski's music being performed by actual humans, and of course about how the world is a fucked-up place. It is!

Four hundred years ago, the last of Britain's native beavers were hunted to extinction. But in 2009, scientists began a grand experiment to bring the furry, buck-toothed rodents back. They relocated a pair of Norwegian beavers to a remote rainforest in Scotland, hoping they'd become the Adam and Eve of a new line of British beavers. Today on The Sunday Story, NPR's Lauren Frayer travels from the wilds of Scotland to a tube station in London, to explore how these animals – beloved by some humans and loathed by others – are transforming the British landscape.Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

Transcript:No: Det var en strålende sommerdag i Geirangerfjord.En: It was a brilliant summer day in Geirangerfjord.No: Solen skinte over det dype, blå fjordvannet, og de høye, grønne fjellene omringet området som vakre, vaktende kjemper.En: The sun shone over the deep, blue fjord water, and the high, green mountains surrounded the area like beautiful, watchful giants.No: Sindre, en ung historiker med stor interesse for vikinghistorie, hadde oppdaget noe spesielt – en gammel skattkart.En: Sindre, a young historian with a great interest in Viking history, had discovered something special – an old treasure map.No: Kartet var funnet i en støvete bok på det lokale biblioteket.En: The map was found in a dusty book at the local library.No: Det hevdet å føre til en skjult vikinggjenstand, et sted i de mystiske omgivelsene av Geirangerfjord.En: It claimed to lead to a hidden Viking artifact, somewhere in the mysterious surroundings of Geirangerfjord.No: Men det var også tvil.En: But there were also doubts.No: Kartet var gammelt og slitt, og det var vanskelig å lese de kryptiske symbolene.En: The map was old and worn, and it was difficult to read the cryptic symbols.No: Astrid, Sindres venn, var med ham den dagen.En: Astrid, Sindre's friend, was with him that day.No: Hun var eventyrlysten, men også skeptisk til ideen om skjulte vikinggjenstander.En: She was adventurous, but also skeptical about the idea of hidden Viking artifacts.No: "Er du sikker på dette, Sindre?En: "Are you sure about this, Sindre?"No: " spurte Astrid, mens de satte seg ned i gresset ved fjordkanten.En: asked Astrid, as they sat down in the grass by the edge of the fjord.No: "Hva om dette bare er en gammel spøk eller en misforståelse?En: "What if this is just an old joke or a misunderstanding?"No: "Men Sindre nølte ikke.En: But Sindre didn't hesitate.No: "Jeg føler det i meg, Astrid.En: "I feel it in me, Astrid.No: Dette er ekte.En: This is real.No: Jeg må prøve," svarte han bestemt.En: I have to try," he replied determinedly.No: Han studerte kartet nøye og begynte å tyde de første ledetrådene.En: He studied the map closely and began to decipher the first clues.No: De ledet dem langs de vindende stiene ved fjorden.En: They led them along the winding paths by the fjord.No: På veien utfordret terrenget dem.En: Along the way, the terrain challenged them.No: Steinene var sleipe, og stiene bratte, men sindres dedikasjon smittet over på Astrid.En: The stones were slippery, and the paths steep, but Sindre's dedication rubbed off on Astrid.No: Hennes tvil begynte å forsvinne, litt etter litt, erstattet av en voksende nysgjerrighet for det ukjente.En: Her doubts began to disappear, little by little, replaced by a growing curiosity for the unknown.No: Etter noen timers klatring, stoppet de ved en kant av fjellet med pustende utsikt.En: After a few hours of climbing, they stopped at a cliff edge with a breathtaking view.No: Her sto tiden stille.En: Here, time stood still.No: Kartet viste en grotte, ikke langt unna.En: The map pointed to a cave, not far away.No: Sindre pekte mot en nesten usynlig åpning i fjellet, delvis skjult av fallende vann fra en liten foss.En: Sindre pointed to an almost invisible opening in the mountain, partially hidden by falling water from a small waterfall.No: De krøp inn, følelsen av eventyr kokte i blodet deres.En: They crawled in, the feeling of adventure boiling in their blood.No: Etter en kort stund i mørket, snublet de over et rom mettet med historie.En: After a short time in the darkness, they stumbled upon a room brimming with history.No: På steingulvet lå fragmenter av gamle gjenstander, skrammel og merkelige inskripsjoner.En: On the stone floor lay fragments of old items, scraps, and strange inscriptions.No: Dette var uten tvil et gammelt vikingverksted, et arnested for fortidens historier.En: This was undoubtedly an old Viking workshop, a breeding ground for stories of the past.No: Selv om de ikke fant den ultimate artegjenstanden kartet lovet, var Sindre oppstemt.En: Although they didn't find the ultimate artifact the map promised, Sindre was elated.No: Dette var et bevis på historie, dypt gjemt under de norske fjellene.En: This was evidence of history, deeply hidden under the Norwegian mountains.No: "Jeg kan ikke tro det," mumlet Astrid mens hun så seg rundt i ærefrykt.En: "I can't believe it," muttered Astrid as she looked around in awe.No: "Du hadde rett, Sindre.En: "You were right, Sindre."No: "Sindre smilte bredt.En: Sindre smiled widely.No: Oppdagelsen ga ham en nyvunnen tillit til egne evner som historiker.En: The discovery gave him newfound confidence in his abilities as a historian.No: Og Astrid, hun merket en gnist av eventyr i seg selv som hun ikke tidligere hadde gjenkjent.En: And Astrid, she noticed a spark of adventure in herself that she hadn't recognized before.No: De forlot grotten med ny verdsettelse for Norges dype, historiske røtter.En: They left the cave with a new appreciation for Norway's deep historical roots.No: Selv om letingen ikke hadde gitt den varslede skatten, hadde de funnet noe enda mer verdifullt – et vindu inn til fortiden og et eventyr å huske for alltid.En: Even though the search hadn't yielded the promised treasure, they had found something even more valuable – a window into the past and an adventure to remember forever.

Ross Bell is back on the Platform. He is the founder and head coach of Armor Fitness and the man behind VIKN Performance chalk, the official chalk of the Twin Cities Kettlebell Open for as long as we run this thing. We are shield brothers, and this one is a good one.We get into what Ross is building: Grip of the Gods, an all-comers charity kettlebell competition benefiting Team RWB (enriching veterans' lives through fitness). It came out of losing a friend right before Christmas and wanting to get in front of veteran suicide instead of scrambling to react to it. Lift anything, claim any clan, 25 bucks a lift, and it goes to the cause. In person August 22 at Breakthrough Fitness in Grand Ledge, Michigan, or virtual from anywhere with your set filmed during the submission window.Ross is anchoring the day with a stupid-for-good world-record attempt: a two-hour long cycle set, with sponsors pledging dollars per rep straight to the vets. We nerd out on how you even train for two hours under the bell (burst-duration sets under Ken Blackburn and the IKFF, gloved snatch work, Bulgarian bag and mace, the Norwegian cycling protocol), why grip is the most underrated quality in the sport, how to train your skin like the organ it is, and what actually separates high-quality chalk from the shitty stuff.

Johannes Klæbo is a Norwegian cross-country skier, an 11-time Olympic gold medalist, and the most decorated Winter Olympian in history. Johannes caught the world's attention with his signature sprinting on skis, sweeping his events and winning the most gold medals ever at a single Winter Olympics. But it wasn't always so; this conversation explores how he got from the middle of the pack at age 14 to the top of Olympic history. We get into Norway's philosophy of raising top athletes, the training mishap that turned into his uphill technique, his 32-hour training week, and his competitive spirit that never switches off. He also tells me the one thing he changed before the Olympics, and it has nothing to do with training. At only 29 Johannes is already one of the greatest Olympians of all time, and it was an honor to have this conversation with him. Enjoy.

Ann was in her late eighties when her adult granddaughter asked, “Grandma, what was the very best time in your life? Ann was one of 10 kids born to Norwegian immigrants who arrived at Ellis Island and settled on the North Dakota prairie. She came from tough stock and was raised in the kind of circumstances where you either made do — or you did without.She and her husband briefly moved to Seattle during World War 2. At that time, Ann was a real-life Rosie the Riveter, working as a riveter in a big city factory to support the war.She was also a cook for cowboys on the open range on a large ranch. Her husband Olaf helped manage the ranch, and Ann hauled water and cooked hearty meals over an open fire with a baby on her hip.  Not one to stay home and bake cookies, Ann was an office manager in their small hometown when they returned to raise their daughters — an astonishing feat for a woman and mother in the 1950s. Romans 14:8 says, “If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.” And as for the very best time in Ann's life? “Well,” Ann replied, “I think the very best time in my life was my early 40s, when I learned I could have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.”Travel. Adventure. Daring feats on the dusty prairie and the factory floor. Ann was a woman who had truly lived — and her best adventure of all was taking her relationship with the Lord to the next level. Live as if living for the Lord, and whether you live or die, you'll know you have eternity in heaven to look forward to by God's grace. That's living in a Jesus state of mind.Let's pray. Lord, thank you for men and women who inspire us to live our lives for you. May we grow and thrive in their light — reaching for you as we learn by their example. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Send us Fan MailToday's guest is a very dear friend of mine, Mattias Thedens, who is a renowned fiddler in the Norwegian folk scene and most known for his place as the frontman of folk rock band Gangar. In this episode, Mattias and I talk about the new album Dreng and the joys of touring before getting into a deeper conversation about tradition and how to handle criticism as a new artist.Oslo-based Gangar bring a fresh take on Nordic roots music. The five-piece ensemble — Mattias Truell Thedens (Hardanger fiddle), Oskar Goedvriend Lindberget (saxophone), Richard Max (guitar), Jonas Thrana Jensen (bass), and Henrik Dullum (drums) — digs rare traditional tunes out of Norway's folk archives and rearranges them through rock, folk-metal, and jazz improvisation. The Hardanger fiddle, once banned in churches as "the devil's instrument" and now Norway's national instrument, gives the band its distinctive sound. Since their first concert in 2021 they've become one of Norway's most in-demand musical exports, playing Rudolstadt (DE), Sziget (HU), Celtic Connections (Scotland), and Port Fairy Folk Festival (Australia). Debut EP "Tre Danser" (2022, Heilo Records) was followed by debut album "Stubb" (2023). Second full-length "Dreng" was recorded in 2024 and released April 2026 on Heilo / Sounds Like Gold.Support the showThe Nordic Sound is supported by its patrons over on Patreon.com/jamesonfosterBarMonicaEmberGeorgeBetsCarrieGenLeighMikeCindyClaytonDrakeEricJamieJuliaMaryMichaelMichaelSeanSimonTonyYou too can support the project at patreon.com/nordicsound

"It's like when my daughter plays dress-up. They're playing with identities — the most extreme version of the thing they're trying to inhabit." Brian sits down with Dr. Hannah Spier, the Norwegian psychiatrist behind the Psychobabble Substack, on what her field does to men and what it hands out to women. Also: why she argues much of the autism and late ADHD now diagnosed in women is poor socialization nobody will name, the diagnosis as a story of redemption, psychiatrists as the gatekeepers who stopped saying no, and what her own maternity leave taught her about the literature on women's wellbeing. "That is when you have a breakthrough — when you get your male client to start crying. That's when you're really going someplace. But men find it quite provoking to sit face to face and chat. Men heal by doing." Support the show: feedthebadger.com/support Send us a message: feedthebadger.com/justthetip Join the community: badgernation.online

What if everything we thought we knew about the ancient world was incomplete?In 1947, Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl set out to answer a question that challenged the foundations of archaeology. Sailing more than 4,300 miles across the Pacific Ocean on a simple balsa wood raft called Kon-Tiki, he attempted to prove that ancient civilizations may have been capable of extraordinary transoceanic voyages long before modern navigation—or even Christopher Columbus.But did his daring expedition actually rewrite history... or simply prove that the impossible was possible?In this captivating episode of Truth Be Told, host Tony Sweet takes you on a journey across one of the greatest mysteries of the ancient world. We'll uncover the fascinating story behind the Kon-Tiki expedition, explore the legends of Viracocha, examine the mystery of the sweet potato that somehow crossed the Pacific centuries before European exploration, and dive into the latest archaeological and genetic discoveries that continue to fuel debate among historians.Together, we'll separate fact from speculation as we explore questions surrounding ancient navigation, lost civilizations, Polynesian explorers, Atlantis, Mu, and whether forgotten chapters of human history may still be waiting beneath the waves.Was Thor Heyerdahl chasing an impossible dream... or uncovering clues to one of humanity's greatest forgotten mysteries?Join us as we follow the evidence, challenge assumptions, and ask the questions that continue to captivate explorers, archaeologists, and mystery seekers around the world. Because sometimes... The greatest mysteries aren't found in the stars... they're hidden in our own past.

This week we had the privilege of hosting Leif Johan Sevland, President and CEO of the Offshore Northern Seas Foundation (ONS), for a Special Edition. Leif is a Norwegian business leader and former politician with a distinguished career spanning public service and the energy sector. Prior to joining ONS, Leif served as the Mayor of Stavanger from 2005 to 2011. The ONS 2026 Conference is fast approaching, taking place from August 24–27 in Stavanger, Norway. The conference is held biennially and attracts 70,000+ global industry leaders representing over 1,100 companies and 35+ countries. We were honored to host Leif to preview this year's conference, its major themes, and the trends shaping Norway's, Europe's and the world's energy landscape. In our conversation, Leif shared a preview of what attendees can expect at ONS 2026 and how this year's conference theme, Courage, is intended to challenge industry leaders to move beyond discussion and embrace decisive action in addressing the world's evolving energy needs. We explore Norway's unique position as both a leading oil and gas producer and an energy innovator, discussing how energy security, affordability, technological innovation, and shifting geopolitical dynamics are reshaping energy markets, investment priorities, and policy around the world. We examine Europe's evolving innovation ecosystem, the accelerating adoption of AI and its growing impact on power demand, renewed interest in nuclear energy, and the convergence of energy, defense, and industrial technologies. Leif emphasizes the importance of open dialogue, global collaboration, and developing the next generation of industry leaders, and shares how ONS brings together policymakers, operators, investors, entrepreneurs, and innovators to exchange ideas and help shape the future of energy. The Veriten team will be at ONS, participating in a few panels, and connecting with good friends and with some of our partner and portfolio companies that will also be in attendance. Mike Bradley started off the discussion by noting that two key market themes remained in place: lower oil prices and stronger equity markets. The 10-year Treasury yield remained range-bound, showing little directional movement. On the equity market front, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up ~500 to 600 points on the day, with gains driven primarily by Amgen, Caterpillar, and Goldman Sachs. On the oil market front, downward pressure on crude prices continued, with WTI falling by approximately $1/bbl to around $75/bbl. The decline was driven largely by market optimism that the temporary pause in U.S. military strikes on Iran would remain in place. He noted, however, that oil prices appear increasingly oversold from a technical perspective, having declined roughly $10 to $15/bbl over the past one to two weeks. As a result, crude prices could rebound sharply should the current military pause end or geopolitical tensions re-escalate. He concluded by highlighting key takeaways from Saudi Aramco's 2Q earnings call, noting that management delivered a decidedly bullish message on the outlook for global oil markets. According to Aramco, oil markets are far tighter than many indicators/prices suggest. Aramco noted that global markets lost ~11mmbpd of supply because of the conflict and shipping disruptions; strategic reserve releases and inventory drawdowns have masked the true extent of the shortage; inventory data understates physical market tightness; global inventories have been heavily depleted and must now be rebuilt over several years; and it would take around 18 months and roughly 2.1mmbpd of incremental demand just to restore inventories to pre-conflict levels if conditions normalize immediately. We were fortunate to also have Veriten Venture Partner Karl Liapunov join and share his insights throughout the discussion. Karl is the founder of Starting Cold and is the U.S. Ecosystem Partner at Startuplab, where he previously served as Head of Energy & Climate Tech in Oslo.

"Imagine finishing your work week on Friday, flying to Nepal, summiting Mount Everest — and being back at your desk by the following Monday. Håkon and Hanne Hyttedalen are Norwegian consultants. They work full-time in corporate Oslo. And they have also won ultra trail races, run the UTMB around Mont Blanc, completed a 160-kilometer mountain race in a blizzard with a 77% DNF rate — and this May, they stood on the summit of the highest point on Earth. Together. As a married couple. Today we're getting into exactly how they do it — how they train two hours a day without burning out, what it feels like to nearly not make it off a mountain, and whether any of this is actually accessible to the rest of us.
