The dead season is officially over — training camp has arrived, and Ryan's back with plenty to unpack. He breaks down the Packers' reported $1.1 million operating loss and explains why the real story ($132.5 million in net income, up 54.8%) tells a very different picture than the sky-is-falling narrative being pushed by Florio and others. Ryan contextualizes the expense spike with the Micah Parsons signing and the Kenny Clark write-off, pushes back on Ed Policy's repeated alarm-ringing, and comes away cautiously optimistic about the franchise's financial path forward. - Packers' operating loss vs. net income: $753M revenue, $754.1M in people expenses, but $132.5M net income once investment gains and the NFL/ESPN media deal are factored in - Why the Micah Parsons signing ($44M bonus, $136M guaranteed) and Kenny Clark's accelerated cap charge drove the 18.7% expense spike — a one-time hit, not a trend - Ed Policy's repeated financial warnings: strategic pressure on the NFL or genuine alarm? Ryan argues it's the former, and Policy's refusal to sell Lambeau naming rights backs that up - NFL Owners Meeting recap: Bob Harlan's name goes on the northeast facade at halftime of the Oct. 29 Panthers game; LaFleur, Gutekunst, and Russ Ball extensions confirmed - PUP list breakdown: Tucker Kraft, Aaron Banks, Kamal Haddon, Javan Hargrave, Luke Musgrave placed on PUP; RB Chris Brooks on NFI; plus a full rundown of PUP rules and the new 2026 reserve PUP practice window - Breaking non-Packers news: Eric Bieniemy's wife Mia shot at their Virginia home by the couple's son; Ryan covers the story with appropriate gravity We're back, baby.

Noah Schochet is the co-founder and CEO of TerraFirma, a construction technology company rethinking how infrastructure gets built. Founded by two former SpaceX engineers, TerraFirma combines robotics, remote operations, and software into a construction business that performs projects directly rather than selling technology. By vertically integrating its tools with field operations, the company aims to make construction dramatically faster, safer, and more affordable while addressing labor shortages and enabling the next generation of infrastructure. In this episode, Noah shares how his experience building Starship at SpaceX inspired TerraFirma, why he believes construction—not autonomy—is the real bottleneck to civilization-scale progress, and why robotics companies should focus more on delivering outcomes instead of products. He also explains TerraFirma's remote-operated construction model, its approach to rapid iteration, and why the future of construction still depends on people empowered by better technology.

Brandon Sedloff and Mike Cordingley explore what it takes to build durable, scalable private markets firms in an era of constant disruption. Mike leads the strategy, leadership, and advisory group at Ferguson Partners, a talent management and strategic advisory firm that works with about half of the public REITs and many of the largest private equity and real estate platforms. His work takes him inside these organizations as they navigate fundamental shifts in leadership, operating models, and business strategy. The conversation on The Distribution covers how private markets firms have reached an inflection point where the entrepreneurial, founder-led models that drove early growth now face pressure from rising costs, compressed fees, and the need to retain next-generation talent. Mike explains why founders must move beyond an investment thesis to develop a true enterprise strategy, and why the CEO's role is evolving from chief decision-maker to platform architect who distributes decision rights across the organization. They discuss: - Why succession planning has become a business imperative as founder-led firms face generational transitions - How decision architecture creates competitive advantage by pushing decisions closer to where value is created - Why AI represents a people transformation challenge, not just a technology implementation - The concept of zero-based org design and what it means to treat operating models as design choices rather than fixed structures This episode offers practical frameworks for leaders wrestling with how to scale their organizations, develop talent, and prepare for the next phase of growth in private markets. Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:00:33) - Why founders need an enterprise strategy (00:02:20) - Mike's path to management consulting (00:07:17) - The role of consultants in private markets (00:09:29) - Four big trends shaping private markets today (00:13:27) - How we got to this inflection point (00:17:49) - Navigating founder succession and talent retention (00:30:59) - Decision architecture as a competitive advantage (00:38:59) - Operating model as a design choice (00:42:28) - Distributed accountability and data access (00:46:27) - Precision talent matching (00:50:40) - AI as a people transformation, not just efficiency (00:53:17) - Closing Links: Brandon on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonsedloff/ Mike on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikecordingley/ Ferguson Partners - https://www.fergusonpartners.com/ Juniper Square - https://www.junipersquare.com/

For generations the medical community has acted as an unwitting gatekeeper for institutional secrets ignoring physical evidence of paranormal encounters and psychological trauma caused by non human forces. True disclosure requires breaking the code of silence enforced by medical establishments to expose what emergency responders encounter on the front lines of high strangeness.In this episode former British Army Staff Sergeant and NHS paramedic Paul Ascough shares the unvarnished reality of his five decade journey into ufology. Operating as a dedicated BUFORA researcher Ascough investigates the terrifying overlap between UFO abductions and traditional supernatural folklore. He exposes how systemic military cover ups actively suppress public awareness of extra dimensional phenomena impacting everyday citizens.Discussing landmark Yorkshire UFO sightings documented through the British UFO Research Association Ascough emphasizes that these events are not isolated anomalies but part of a persistent global pattern. He examines the realm of consciousness and high strangeness explaining how unexplained entities manipulate human perception and physical space. If you are ready to hear from a credentialed frontline professional who refuses to toe the official line this interview shatters the illusion of safety and exposes the raw mechanics of the unknown.✨ Download Our FREE Throne Room Meditation✨ ➡️ https://www.truthseekah.com ➡️Join our online community at https://www.truthseekah.com ➡️ Support on Patreon! https://patreon.com/join/truthseekah✅ Get access to 40+ video lessons + Weekly LIVE calls!✅ Worldwide Online Community!✅ Courses, Monthly Webinars, Prayer, Meditation, Discussion✅ TruthSeekah's Meditation Library

Deserts, the Arctic, outer space—these extreme environments are often seen as inhospitable places at the edges of our maps. But from the 1940s through the 1960s, spurred by the diverse and unfamiliar regions the US military had navigated during World War II, the United States defense establishment took a keen interest in these places, dispatching troops to the Aleutian Islands, North Africa, the South Pacific, and beyond. To preserve the country's status as a superpower after the war, to pave runways and build bridges, engineers had to understand and then conquer dunes, permafrost, and even the surface of the moon. Sand, Snow, and Stardust: How US Military Engineers Conquered Extreme Environments (University of Chicago Press, 2025) by Dr. Gretchen Heefner explores how the US military generated a new understanding of these environments and attempted to master them, intending to cement America's planetary power. Operating in these regions depended as much on scientific and cultural knowledge as on military expertise and technology. From General George S. Patton learning the hard way that the desert is not always hot, to the challenges of constructing a scientific research base under the Arctic ice, to the sheer implausibility of modeling Martian environments on Earth, Dr. Heefner takes us on a wry expedition into the extremes and introduces us to the people who have shaped our insight into these extraordinary environments. Even decades after the first manned space flight, plans for human space exploration and extraplanetary colonization are still based on what we know about stark habitats on Earth. An entertaining survey of the relationship between environmental history and military might, Sand, Snow, and Stardust also serves as a warning about the further transformation of the planet—whether through desertification, melting ice caps, or attempts to escape it entirely. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

What if the future of American education didn't involve multi-million dollar buildings, century-old factory models, or teaching to the "mythical center" of a 30-student classroom? In this episode of An Educated Guest, host Todd Zipper sits down with Don Soifer, co-founder and CEO of the National Microschooling Center, to pull back the curtain on the fastest-growing narrative in K-12 education. From an accidental public-private partnership during the pandemic to a national movement spanning over a million and a half children, Soifer breaks down what microschools actually look like and why they are exploding in popularity across red, blue, and purple states alike.We dive deep into the unique economics and demographics of the modern microschool. Operating at a fraction of the cost of traditional public schooling—averaging $8,000 per child compared to upwards of $20,000—microschools are challenging long-held assumptions about educational productivity. Far from a playground for the privileged, data reveals a beautifully diversified landscape where 40% of pre-launch founders are Black or African American, and the vast majority of schools are intentionally designed to serve neurodivergent children, students with special needs, and those lagging behind state grade levels.Finally, Soifer explains how these nimble learning environments are preparing kids for the modern gig economy. By utilizing mastery transcripts, project-based learning, and cutting-edge AI tools, microschools are turning passive students into active learners. Tune in to discover the bureaucratic hurdles these micro-innovators face—from archaic fire codes to zoning laws—and why the micro-schooling movement might just be the most sustainable disruption to American education in a generation.

High temperatures forecast in large parts of China in the next few days未来数日，我国大范围区域将迎来高温天气China's health and weather authorities issued nationwide heat health alerts on Monday as an unusually warm and humid flood season fuels widespread heat across much of the country, with temperatures forecast to exceed 40 C in some areas over the coming days.受汛期异常闷热潮湿的气候影响，国内多地大范围遭遇酷暑，国家卫健与气象主管部门于周一发布全国高温健康预警，预计未来部分地区气温将突破40摄氏度。Since the start of the annual flood season, China has experienced a markedly warm and humid weather pattern.自本年度汛期开启以来，我国整体气候呈现出显著高温高湿的特征。The national average temperature reached 17.5 C, 0.9 C above normal and the third-highest for the period since 1961, while average precipitation stood at 264.2 millimeters, 6.1 percent above normal, according to Chen Lijuan from the National Climate Center.国家气候中心专家陈丽娟介绍，全国平均气温达到17.5摄氏度，较常年同期偏高0.9℃，为1961年以来同期第三高温；全国平均降水量264.2毫米，相较常年均值多出6.1%。The National Disease Control and Prevention Administration and the China Meteorological Administration jointly issued a heat health risk alert on Monday evening, warning that conditions ranging from relatively high to extremely high health risks would affect much of China between Monday night and Tuesday night.国家疾控局与中国气象局在周一晚间联合发布高温健康风险预警，警示周一夜间至周二晚间，国内大部分区域将会面临中高乃至极高等级的高温健康隐患。The highest red-level alert was issued for parts of Hubei province, Chongqing and the Inner Mongolia autonomous region.湖北局部、重庆以及内蒙古自治区部分地区已经发布最高等级的红色高温预警。Authorities urged residents to stay indoors in cool environments, avoid outdoor activities during peak heat hours and drink enough water.官方呼吁市民尽量待在阴凉的室内环境，避开一天中的高温峰值时段外出活动，同时及时补充饮水。Vulnerable groups, including people with chronic illnesses, were advised to pay close attention to their health and seek medical assistance if necessary.相关部门建议慢性病患者等易感人群密切监测自身身体状况，身体不适时及时就医。The National Meteorological Center, on Tuesday, renewed a yellow alert for high temperatures, forecasting highs of 35 C to 36 C across large parts of the country, with temperatures in parts of southwestern Chongqing expected to exceed 40 C.国家气象中心于周二继续发布高温黄色预警，预报国内多数地区最高气温维持在35至36摄氏度，西南重镇重庆的局部区域气温将突破40℃。Chen Tao, chief forecaster at the National Meteorological Center, said that after Tropical Storm Bavi moved northward, the subtropical high-pressure system strengthened and gradually merged with continental high pressure, creating conditions for intensifying heat across areas including the Sichuan Basin and the Jianghan Plain in Hubei.国家气象中心首席预报员陈涛表示，巴威热带风暴北上过后，副热带高压不断增强，并逐步和大陆高压合体，促使四川盆地、湖北江汉平原等地的高温天气持续加剧。"The latest round of heat in southern China is expected to last four to five days, until around July 18," he said.他称，本轮华南高温天气预计将会持续四至五天，大概在7月18日前后才会缓解。Chongqing authorities have stepped up heat protection measures for residents, workers and animals.重庆各地主管部门已经加码落实针对市民、户外劳动者以及动植物的防暑保障工作。The city's housing department has ordered construction companies to suspend all outdoor work when the daily maximum temperature reaches 40 C or above to ensure workplace safety.当地住建部门规定，日最高气温达到40℃及以上时，施工企业必须全面叫停室外作业，保障务工人员的人身安全。The city has also opened 44 underground civil air defense facilities as free cooling shelters since July 5. Operating daily from 10 am to 9 pm, the shelters provide drinking water, seating and heat-relief supplies.自7月5日起，重庆开放44处人防地下空间作为免费纳凉点。纳凉点每日上午10点至晚间9点对外开放，免费提供饮用水、休息座位以及各类防暑物资。At Locajoy Theme Park's Wildlife World in Yongchuan district, animals from cooler high-altitude regions of Eurasia and the Americas have received additional protection from the heat.在重庆乐和乐都野生动物世界里，来自欧亚、美洲高海拔寒凉地区的野生动物都配套了专项防暑方案。According to Liu Xiaolin, deputy general manager of the park's Wildlife World Division, the park has installed sunshades, misting systems and pools in animal enclosures, while air conditioning is provided for indoor animals such as giant pandas.园区野生动物板块副总经理刘晓琳介绍，园区在动物展区搭建遮阳棚、喷雾降温设备以及戏水水池；大熊猫等室内饲养动物还可以享受空调降温。The scorching temperatures have also disrupted travel plans. Lan Bin, a sophomore at Chongqing University, and her mother, who traveled from Zhejiang province to visit her, abandoned their daytime sightseeing plans after encountering temperatures above 40 C.酷热的气温同样打乱了出游计划。重庆大学大二学生蓝斌的母亲专程从浙江前来探望，二人因为四十多度的高温，放弃了白天外出游览的安排。Instead, they visited museums, watched Sichuan opera and enjoyed evening meals.二人转而选择逛博物馆、观看川剧，等到傍晚气温回落再出门就餐。Lan said the most practical way to cope with Chongqing's current heat is to stay indoors with air conditioning during the day and schedule outdoor activities after sunset.蓝斌表示，应对重庆酷暑最稳妥的办法就是白天待在空调房中，日落之后再安排户外活动。In Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, the heatwave has driven electricity demand to record levels. The city's power grid load reached a historic high of 18.11 million kilowatts at noon on Tuesday, exceeding last year's peak by 62,900 kW amid an orange heat alert.湖北省会武汉的热浪使得用电负荷创下新高。在高温橙色预警生效期间，周二正午当地电网负荷飙升至1811万千瓦，刷新历史纪录，相较去年用电峰值高出6.29万千瓦。The State Grid Wuhan Power Supply Company said 24 key projects designed to strengthen electricity supplies during the summer peak season have been completed to help meet rising household demand.国网武汉供电公司介绍，24项保障夏季用电高峰的重点工程已经全部竣工，以此承接持续上涨的居民用电需求。Local authorities have also reminded residents and businesses to guard against electrical fires caused by overloaded equipment during periods of heavy power consumption.当地部门同时提醒居民和各类商户，用电高峰期谨防设备负载过载，避免引发电气火灾。precipitation /prɪˌsɪpɪˈteɪʃn/降水量，降雨量vulnerable /ˈvʌlnərəbl/容易受到高温侵害的，体质偏弱的subtropical /ˌsʌbˈtrɒpɪkl/亚热带的scorching /ˈskɔːtʃɪŋ/极度炎热的enclosure /ɪnˈkləʊʒə(r)/动物饲养圈、围栏场地overload /ˌəʊvəˈləʊd/超负荷运转

The Gemara cites two conflicting statements of Rav regarding a hanging limb of an animal. In one statement, Rav rules that eating this limb incurs lashes, while in the other, he rules it does not. Rav Yosef resolves this contradiction: if the animal dies naturally, death causes legal detachment (oseh nipul), retroactively defining the hanging limb as ever min hachai (a limb from a living animal) which incurs lashes for one who eats it. Conversely, if the animal is slaughtered, slaughter does not cause legal detachment (eino oseh nipul), meaning the limb is not treated as a separate forbidden entity and the eater does not receive lashes. Rava brings a biblical source for this differentiation between death and slaughter, and the Gemara raises two difficulties against his proof but resolves them both. Rav Chisda and Rabba dispute whether the debate between Rabbi Meir and the Rabbis - regarding whether slaughter causes legal detachment for an emerged fetal limb - applies only when the fetus is alive, or even when the fetus is dead. Rav Chisda holds that when the fetus is dead, the emerged limb is definitely considered detached and carries impurity. In the course of a back-and-forth argument between the Rabbis and Rabbi Meir in the Mishna, it was mentioned that slaughtering would not remove impurity from an eight-month fetus, as it is not viable, and there is no type of eight-month fetus that can be validly slaughtered. However, a braita states that there are eight-month fetuses that can be permitted by slaughter. Rav Kahana reconciles this by differentiating between slaughtering the fetus itself and permitting the animal via its mother's slaughter (ben pekua). Rav Hoshaya inquires whether a live nine-month-old fetus can be validly slaughtered while still in utero. This question is evaluated under the views of both Rabbi Meir and the Rabbis. Rav Chananya attempts to resolve this inquiry from a braita, but his answer is ultimately rejected by Rava. The Mishna introduces a dispute regarding the laws of ben pekua and whether they apply to a fully formed, nine-month-old fetus found inside its slaughtered mother. Rabbi Meir rules that the laws of ben pekua do not apply here, and the fetus requires its own independent slaughter. Conversely, the Rabbis and Rabbi Shimon Shezuri hold that as long as the fetus is still inside the womb, it is covered by the laws of ben pekua and is permitted by the slaughter of the mother. Operating under the Rabbis' position, Rabbi Eleazar states in the name of Rabbi Oshaya that the mother's slaughter only covers the animal born from this womb regarding the laws of eating. In other halakhot, this animal is considered a distinct entity and standard animal laws apply to it. The Gemara presents two versions of what Rabbi Oshaya's statement was coming to exclude: the first version suggests it excludes the animal's fat, sciatic nerve, and blood from the mother's exemption, while the second version suggests it excludes using the animal for work or illicit cross-breeding. The first version is ultimately rejected based on other sources, leaving the second version as the preferred explanation. Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish disagree about whether the blood of a ben pekua (a nine-month fetus) is permitted as well. Rabbi Yochanan raises one difficulty against Reish Lakish's position, which the Gemara subsequently resolves. According to the position of the Rabbis, a question is asked whether one can redeem a firstborn donkey with a ben pekua. Mar Zutra and Rav Ashi disagree. A second question is asked whether a ben pekua that is still in utero can be considered a separate unit for the laws of ritual impurity. This is a dispute between Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish, and each one raises a difficulty against the other's position.

Johannes Galatsanos occupies an unusual dual perch in the quantum ecosystem. As a co-author of the inaugural MIT Quantum Index Report, he's helped map the entire quantum landscape at altitude; as co-founder and CEO of Diffraqtion, he's staked his career on one of its most under-discussed corners: quantum imaging. The company spun out of Saikat Guha's lab at the University of Maryland after more than a decade of DARPA-funded research, emerged from stealth in January 2026 with $4.2M in pre-seed funding, and is now racing toward on-sky telescope demonstrations and a 2028 satellite launch.This episode is for listeners who want a technically honest look at where the "quantum" label is doing real work in a sensor versus where it's shading into sophisticated photonics and analog computing. If you care about how quantum technologies actually reach the world — through markets, contracts, and hardware that ships — this conversation gives you a specific, concrete example to think with.What You'll LearnWhy a conventional camera can lose roughly 95% of the information a photon carries, and what quantum Fisher information theory says about recovering itHow Diffraqtion's device processes light directly in the photonic domain before converting it to electronic information — and why that matters for shot noiseThe honest answer to "is this really quantum?" — including where the technology sits between quantum information theory, photonics, and analog computingWhy a 6U CubeSat with a 10-centimeter aperture can plausibly compete with school-bus-sized observation satellites for specific tasksHow a "diffractive neural network" runs image classification at the speed of light with negligible power consumptionThe difference between Diffraqtion's hard-coded Gen 1 camera and the reprogrammable Gen 2 that can swap algorithms in orbit (canopy detection over the Amazon, ship detection over the Atlantic)Why the Habitable Worlds Observatory needs a coronagraph capability — and how you can build one by processing light rather than blocking itWhat quantum sensing needs from policy, capital, and PR to escape the shadow of quantum computingResources & LinksGuest & CompanyDiffraqtion — Company homepage; describes the technology, NASA/DARPA lineage, and the "quantum eye" framing referenced in the conversation.Johannes Galatsanos on LinkedIn — Recent activity including SmallSat Europe, the NASA Space to Soil Challenge, and GQIG Summit talks on quantum imaging.Papers & ReportsQuantum Index Report 2025 (arXiv) — The preprint of the MIT QIR, co-authored by Galatsanos.

So you leave 95% on the table, and the question was: how do you extract that back?"On what "quantum" really means here: Galatsanos is refreshingly candid — the device uses quantum Fisher information theory to set the physical limit and configure the hardware, but the runtime processing is closer to analog photonic computing than to gate-based quantum computing. He describes it as sitting between "quantum 1.0" and quantum sensing.On the frog's-eye analogy: Retinal ganglion cells can process shapes and trajectories faster than the brain — which is why you can catch a baseball or a falling fork before you consciously see it. Diffraqtion is trying to give satellites and robots the same kind of reflex.On the JPEG as a historical artifact: "JPEG was a little bit of a logical step… but now the thought is, forget about it — you don't even need that. The light itself already will tell you." The machine, unlike a human operator, doesn't need an image.On why quantum sensing lags in the discourse: Insight — quantum computing benefits from a single unifying narrative that every vendor can pull on. Quantum sensing has to invent its own story from scratch for each modality, which is a structural PR disadvantage more than a technical one.Related EpisodesEp. 65 — Quantum sensitivity breakthrough with Eli Levenson-Falk — On protocols that push measurements beyond conventional limits; a natural companion to the Fisher information discussion.Ep. 16 — Operating at the Quantum Limit with Dr. Dana Anderson — Infleqtion's CSO on quantum sensing alongside computing; useful context for why sensing is closer to deployment.Ep. 68 — Incubating quantum innovation with Vijoy Pandey of Outshift by Cisco — On quantum networks solving real problems today; a parallel to Diffraqtion's near-term deployment argument.Ep. 63 — A Programming Language for Quantum Simulations with Xiaodi Wu — Also from the University of...

Josh Dean describes the early days of the Lockheed Corporation and the birth of Skunk Works. After saving the company by fixing the Electra, Kelly Johnson promised a jet fighter in just six months. Operating out of a circus tent, his team produced the P-80 in 143 days. (6)1951

SCHEDULE FOR THE JBS, 7-9-2026.1930  BRAZIL ARGENTINA WORLD CUP.Anatol Lieven discusses the impact of the Ukraine war on Russian consumers and potential peace terms. He suggests Russia might settle if it abandons Donbass demands, provided the West bars Ukrainian NATOmembership. Currently, the Russian military is advancing slowly while enduring huge casualties and economic suffering. (1)ZAnatol Lieven explores a potential peace compromise and the risks of escalation. He notes that while Ukraine can make Russia suffer via drone strikes on energy infrastructure, aerial bombardment alone will not force a surrender. A single miscalculation could lead to a direct clash between Russia and NATO. (2) Mary Anastasia O'Grady reports on the earthquake tragedy in Venezuela and the incompetence of the Rodriguezregime. She details how officials like Diosdado Cabello hinder rescue efforts to hide illicit activities. Meanwhile, the opposition leader María Corina Machado is being blocked from returning to the country. (3) Mariam Wahba reports on the brutal persecution of Christians under the Chinese Communist Party's"sinicization" policy. This effort involves rewriting the Bible and mandating state-sanctioned clergy to ensure religion serves the state. Despite this, the underground church continues to grow, posing a challenge to CCPauthority. (4) Josh Dean introduces Kelly Johnson, the brilliant engineer behind the P-38 fighter. Born to hardworking Swedishparents, Johnson overcame poverty to become a legend in aviation. His industrious nature and early mastery of aeronautics led him to Lockheed, where he would transform the industry during WWII. (5) Josh Dean describes the early days of the Lockheed Corporation and the birth of Skunk Works. After saving the company by fixing the Electra, Kelly Johnson promised a jet fighter in just six months. Operating out of a circus tent, his team produced the P-80 in 143 days. (6) Josh Dean explains the Skunk Works method through the development of the F-104 Starfighter. Johnsondemanded total control and minimal oversight from the Air Force, focusing on speed and climb. His test pilots, including Tony LeVier, formed an intimate, trusted team that operated like "cowboys". (7) Josh Dean details the CIA-led U-2 program, designed for high-altitude reconnaissance over the Soviet Union. To achieve 70,000 feet, Johnson created a lightweight glider-like plane. This required the invention of specialized pressure suits for pilots, providing nearly 75% of intelligence gathered during the Cold War. (8) Josh Dean explores the Area 51 mysteries and the Gary Powers incident. Many UFO sightings were actually spy planes like the U-2, tested in secret. Despite the shootdown of Powers in 1960, Johnson had already begun developing the Mach 3.2 Blackbird to maintain an intelligence advantage. (9) Josh Dean recounts Kelly Johnson's creation of the world's first drone for reconnaissance and his failed pitch for an A-12 bomber. He clashed with Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, who ordered the destruction of A-12tools. The segment also highlights Johnson's personal life on his California ranch. (10) Josh Dean highlights Kelly Johnson's struggle with anxiety and health, alongside the emergence of stealth technology. Under his successor Ben Rich, Skunk Works developed the F-117 Nighthawk. Utilizing facets to scatter radar, this "hopeless diamond" proved that an invisible plane was mathematically possible. (11) Josh Dean summarizes Kelly Johnson's 14 rules, emphasizing simplicity and speed. These principles required small teams and minimal paperwork to innovate effectively. Before passing away in 1990, Johnson witnessed a final emotional flyover of his iconic Blackbird, marking the end of a legendary aviation era. (12) Thomas Savage warns that the US national debt is reaching dangerous levels relative to GDP. He explains that rising interest costs are now exceeding national defense spending, which threatens to stifle the productive economy and lead to a decreased standard of living for the average American taxpayer. (13) Thomas Savage argues for stringent budget reforms and spending cuts to address the fiscal crisis. He notes that while many elected officials recognize the problem, the priority of political reelection prevents them from making unpopular decisions, leaving the country in a cycle of unsustainable federal spending. (14) Cliff May explores the historical link between socialism and Islamism, tracing partnerships from early Bolsheviksto the Iranian Revolution. These alliances often end in violence and purges of leftists, as seen when Ayatollah Khomeini executed communist leaders. He warns that these ideologies generally favor oppressive one-party states. (15) Veronique de Rugy uses a 700-year-old Siena fresco to discuss the virtues of good governance. The artwork illustrates that a flourishing society requires the rule of law and justice. She cautions that modern industrial policies and government cronyism represent the same arbitrary governance the fresco warns against. (16) Note: the source had mid-sentence phrases bolded; I've stripped those and kept bolding to proper nouns per house style. Also corrected Tony LeVier (capital V).

A single battery cell can shut down an entire storage plant.It's one of the many operational realities that make battery storage fundamentally different from solar, and one of the reasons software, analytics, and automation are becoming just as important as the batteries themselves.Ty Fenton, Director of Data Analytics at FlexGen, joins Nico Johnson to explore what really happens after a battery project is commissioned. From managing thousands of individual cells to processing enormous volumes of operational data, Ty explains why operating battery storage requires a completely different mindset than operating solar. They also explore how AI data centers are creating new demands for battery storage and why operators are rethinking the role batteries will play in supporting the next generation of digital infrastructure.Expect to learn:

This week, we examine the dangerously transformative power of media intake by tackling David Cronenberg's VIDEODROME. Operating on a studio's budget for the first time in his career, the visionary filmmaker known for boundary-pushing body horror unleashed a wildly intuitive vision of a sinister broadcast -- known as Videodrome -- which causes intense hallucinations and compulsions in anyone who views it. The film used uncomfortable visualizations and psychosexually violent scenarios to create a nightmarish portrait of media manipulation and control. What's perhaps most frightening about the film is how eerily similar it is to our current state of technological codependency.To unpack this film's fascinating details, we're joined by Josh Willenbrink of Restoration Games who last joined us to discuss and promote their upcoming releases and Justin Donnahoo, a youth pastor, Batman enthusiast, and co-host of the Moviga podcast. Together, we dive into the striking ways this film forecasted where we might one day find ourselves and we discuss the vital necessity of preserving our humanity amidst an ocean of algorithms.It's a hearty and thought-provoking episode this week that we really hope you enjoy.3:42 - Two Questions with Justin Donnahoo15:34 - Catching Up on Games with Josh WillenbrinkPatron Only Segment: WHATCHA25:47 - VIDEODROMESee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

An indoor family entertainment concept that started in Aurora is quietly on track to become a billion dollar enterprise, and most Colorado investors have not heard the story yet. Lava Island opened its first park in 2018 and now operates 11 locations across the country, with every single new park cash flowing positive in its first month. Chris Lopez sits down with Dan Price, managing partner at Amplify Capital, to break down the Lava Island investment opportunity. Dan came to this deal after a 9-figure exit in insurance services and is now the single largest investor in the offering, calling it a once in a couple decades opportunity. The conversation covers what makes Lava Island structurally different from Urban Air, Sky Zone, and Boondocks. The 2 to 12 age focus, the absence of arcades and go-karts, and a staffing model that runs on roughly 40 people versus 120+ at competitors all combine into a simpler, lower liability, higher margin business. Dan gets specific on the numbers behind the Lava Island investment opportunity. The original Aurora location did 6 million in top line revenue on 10 dollar hourly passes. Each new build costs around 4.5 million. The reinvestment fund is modeled at a 6.8x MOIC with target exit in late 2029 or early 2030. The cash flow fund delivered a 16.44 percent annualized distribution in May and is projected to hit the mid 30s by the end of next year. Accelerated depreciation gave 2025 investors 1.17 dollars in deduction losses per dollar invested. For offering details and data room access on the Lava Island investment opportunity, reach out through ampcap.co. In This Episode We Cover: Why no arcades, no go-karts, and a 2 to 12 age focus is the competitive moat How Lava Island scaled from 1 location to 11 in roughly 2 years The vertically integrated construction model with hand-painted murals at every park Why every new location has been cash flow positive month one The 6.8x MOIC reinvestment fund vs the cash flow fund paying monthly distributions How accelerated depreciation wiped out gains for 2025 investors Why Dan believes this is a once in a couple decades opportunity This is the most aggressive offering Lava Island will run before terms tighten in future raises.

Lowell Baron and Brandon Sedloff trace the evolution of Brookfield's real estate business from a small balance sheet investor into a global platform managing roughly $300 billion in assets. Baron shares how he joined what was then called Brascan in 2005 with fewer than twenty people on the real estate team, initially working on a modest credit fund while the firm owned just a stake in an office company. He explains how the decision to avoid overheated deals in 2006 and 2007 positioned Brookfield to capitalize on opportunities after the global financial crisis, eventually launching the consortium model in 2009 that became the foundation for committed funds starting in 2012. They discuss: - Why Brookfield built operating platforms with 30,000 employees instead of relying on third-party operators - How the firm expanded methodically across property types and geographies, including a ten-year process to enter India - The bifurcation in office markets and why Class A space in major cities now faces supply constraints - How diversifying across housing sub-sectors from student housing to senior living reduces risk while improving returns - The role of AI in creating operational efficiencies and unlocking predictive insights from Brookfield's proprietary data This episode on The Distribution offers insight into how scale, operational depth, and patient capital can coexist in a single platform when grown deliberately over decades.

Brett Suma, President and COO of Bot Auto, joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss Bot Auto's playbook for autonomously driving one billion autonomous miles in four years.On April 29th by completing its first humanless run from Houston to Dallas. To achieve long-term growth and commercial success, Bot Auto is rejecting the standard driver-as-a-service intermediary model used by its competitors. Instead, the company is building direct relationships with shippers and designing a utility grid of capacity focused on solving network sequencing, lane selection, and utilization.As the company focuses on capital-efficient deployment, Bot Auto plans to sidestep raising large funding rounds to purchase depreciating operations assets. Instead, the company will rely on traditional financing methods, established banking relationships, and an experienced sales force to scale its tractor and trailer counts. With a comprehensive five-year financial roadmap in place, Bot Auto is positioning itself to scale organically based on market demand, setting a disciplined target of one billion autonomous miles within the next four years.Episode Chapters0:00 Why Bot Auto4:56 April 29th Humanless Houston to Dallas Run9:52 Economics of Humanless Miles14:36 Building a Trucking Business17:17 Capacity as a Utility Grid, Not Truck Counts24:19 Bot Auto's Business Model29:34 CapEx and Financing Trucks32:15 Hidden Risk of Operating a Mixed Fleet41:49 Staying Disciplined as Bot Auto Grows44:24 One Billion Autonomous Miles in Four Years47:36 AUTNMY AI--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, Indices and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

Seth and Luke lay out the biggest X-factors for the Astros the rest of the season, their concern that the Rockets are running it back, and some funny context given to the Dre vs Finnegan fight we all know and love.

Seth and Luke compare the current Jaguars running it back to the 2018 Jaguars trying to do the same, and compare that to the Rockets. Is running it back the right move for the Rockets?

Patrick Dunne, author of "Boards", joins host Alberto Lidji on the Do One Better Podcast for a timely conversation on how boards can become more effective, more agile and more valuable. Drawing on the third edition of his book "Boards", Patrick explores how governance is changing in a world shaped by AI, faster decision making, dynamic strategy, rising uncertainty and more complex risk. He looks at the growing role of AI in boardrooms, from summarising papers and tracking regulatory change to supporting better decisions, while also considering where human judgement remains essential. Patrick also discusses the increasing importance of subcommittees, the value of bringing domain experts and next generation voices into governance, and why advisory boards may not always be the best way to access external insight. He reflects on trustee remuneration, generational diversity and the need for boards to move beyond traditional meeting formats. A highly practical episode for board members, chairs, chief executives, trustees, philanthropists and social entrepreneurs who want to strengthen governance and make better decisions. Patrick's executive experience includes 26 years in a variety of investment and management roles with 3i Group plc where, until 2012, he was Communications Director, a member of its Operating committee and Chairman of its Operational Risk forum.  Visit our Knowledge Hub at Lidji.org for information on 350+ case studies and interviews with remarkable leaders in philanthropy, sustainability and social entrepreneurship.   

Patrick K. O'Donnell, guest author, recounts how, in 1863, Richard Blazer emerged as an unlikely Union hero, leading "Blazer's Scouts," also known as the Legion of Honor. A former barge driver who was often disheveled on the parade ground, Blazer possessed a unique talent for "hunting people." His unit functioned as the first modern hunter-killer team in the U.S. Army, specifically tasked with neutralizing Confederate partisans in the rugged mountains of West Virginia. Blazer integrated veterans from the Jesse Scouts and utilized their specialized tradecraft, including riding in enemy uniforms to conduct deep reconnaissance. Their primary targets were the Thurman brothers, ruthless bushwhackers who led the Thurman Rangers in attacks against Union supply lines and the vital B&O Railroad. This conflict was exceptionally brutal; the Thurmans were known for executing prisoners, which meant Blazer's men often fought with the knowledge they would not survive capture. Operating under General Averell, the scouts acted as the "eyes" of the army, conducting battlefield reconnaissance and leading raids against Confederate supply routes. Blazer's success was built on sophisticated "detective work," where he interviewed slaves, children, and civilians to build a mosaic of Confederate hiding spots. This segment highlights how the Union transitioned from standard infantry tactics to specialized counter-insurgency operations to protect the buffer zone of the newly formed state of West Virginia.

Have you ever felt like you were walking through quicksand every single day in your business? Like you were taking three steps forward and two steps back no matter how hard you worked? That was Tim Calise's life for years, and it might be yours right now too. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I brought in Tim Calise for our AI Masterclass Workshop during our Happy Hustle Club meeting, and I sat down to soak up everything he's learned about scaling with artificial intelligence. Tim's path has been anything but a straight line. He started a late night snack delivery business in college, recruiting his fraternity brothers to help him hustle. From there he launched a hedge fund in his early twenties and had to give it all back right before the 2008 crash. He got into fitness and technology after that, joining Alex and Layla Hormozi at Gym Launch, where his team took the company from zero to 35 million dollars in revenue in under a year and a half, then added two more businesses worth over 50 million a year on top of that. Eventually he moved to Nashville, met his current business partner, the guy who actually created the technology behind Apple Pay, and now runs a house of brands company that spans compliance, auditability, and moving money around the world. Tim is a husband of 18 years, a father of three, and he's built a team of about 160 people around the globe that operates 24 hours a day. His company will do around 5 billion dollars in turnover this year, and they've been in business for less than 18 months. I wanted Tim on this stage because he's not talking theory. He's talking about what he is literally doing right now to run a company at this scale without burning himself out or losing time with his family. That's the whole point of the Happy Hustle. Build something big without sacrificing the people and the life that matter most. Here's what stuck with me most from his talk. AI is not just a better tool, it's a fifth form of leverage. Tim broke down the four types of leverage that have driven wealth for the past 200 years: labor, capital, code, and content. Each one takes time, money, or both to build. AI is different. It's permissionless, you don't need to ask anyone, and once you deploy it, it keeps working for you. Capacity outpacing sales is a good problem to have. Most businesses bleed money because they build out people and systems before the revenue shows up. Tim's team flipped that. They have more opportunity than people right now, and AI is what lets them architect for the future they already know is coming. His team built an agent that hunts for clients around the clock. It crawls the internet looking for nuanced signals, like specific plugins on a website, that flag a great fit client. It scores leads automatically and populates their CRM without a human touching it. One of those messages landed a call with a company doing a billion and a half dollars a year in revenue, and Tim's team didn't even know the message went out until the reply came in. The real win isn't the revenue, it's his time back. Tim was honest about the years he spent fighting an uphill battle in business, never having the right tools. Now he says his marriage is in the best spot it's ever been, and he can spend time with his kids on his own schedule instead of whatever time was left over. Humans still run the show. Even with agents doing the heavy lifting, Tim's principle is simple. The agent does the work, humans stay informed and empowered, and every exception gets handled at the people level. AI replaces busy work, not judgment. If you're building something and you feel like you're stuck in that same quicksand Tim described, this conversation is going to hit different.

The Founding of OpenAI. Guest Author: Keach Hagey. In this opening segment, Keach Hagey discusses the January 2016 founding of OpenAI as a nonprofit research lab. Key figures included co-founder Greg Brockman and chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, a renowned researcher whose recruitment from Google signaled the lab's potential. Backed by a billion-dollar commitment from Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Jessica Livingston, the project was designed as a safe, non-commercial counterweight to Google's DeepMind. Operating initially out of Brockman's apartment, the team aimed to achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) for the benefit of humanity. The technical foundation relied heavily on GPUs—hardware originally designed for video games—which proved essential for training the deep learning neural networks necessary for their research. This era was characterized by an ambitious, "pirate" spirit funded through YC Research to explore radical ideas outside the profit motive. 1JANUARY 1931
