INCOGNI Deal: To get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan, go to https://incogni.com/disruptors Rob is joined by former UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt for a startling conversation on the current state and future prospects of the UK economy. Jeremy admits that while the UK has deep strengths in its tech and defence sectors, the country is plagued by a “double doom loop” of high taxes and national debt, which is now consuming roughly £4,000 per year from the average household just to service the interest. Jeremy also shares his belief that even the US debt situation, as highlighted by Ray Dalio, is not immune to the laws of gravity, encouraging optimism for the UK's future. For the inside track on the British and global economy, this frank discussion has it all BEST MOMENTS “Something worse than a recession is coming." “A quarter of adults are not in work."

Rob explains why something worse than a recession is imminent, citing highly credible billionaires and investors like Ray Dalio and Michael Burry, the latter of whom successfully predicted the 2008 banking crash and is now shorting major companies like Apple and Nvidia. These financial heavyweights, along with Warren Buffett are behaving in ways that signal a potential crisis, with the stock market shown to be likely overvalued and real estate, particularly in London, already seeing dramatic price drops, indicating that this historic crash could present an unprecedented opportunity for contrarian investors who are prepared to buy into the market when others are fearful. BEST MOMENTS “Something worse than a recession is coming!” "Be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy."

‘We hebben als Europa onze ziel verkocht', met de nadruk op verkocht. Dat zegt econoom Paul Schenderling. In zijn nieuwe boek Continent van de kwaliteit analyseert hij scherp wat er misgaat in onze economie én cultuur. En de oorzaak zit dieper dan koopkrachtplaatjes – veel dieper. Volgens Schenderling is er een grondige verbouwing nodig van onze economie en samenleving. Maar, zo benadrukt hij, er gloort ook hoop: een ander vooruitgangsverhaal is mogelijk. Is de ziel van Europa nog te redden? Paul Schenderling is al voor de vierde keer te gast in De Ongelooflijke. Vaste luisteraars weten: gesprekken met hem zijn altijd ontzettend inzichtgeven en interessant – ook als je normaal gesproken niet van economie houdt. David Boogerd spreekt hem uiteraard samen met vast gast theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

This urgent broadcast is a stark warning to say no to the new digital ID being pushed by UK Labour leader Keir Starmer, a program which Rob argues was never voted for and could lead to extreme population control. Rob presents five major downsides, including increased control through connecting systems like a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), ULEZ cameras, and the Online Safety Act, and warns that this could lead to the freezing of accounts, travel restrictions, fines, penalties at source, and massive data breaches, ultimately limiting freedom and financial sovereignty BEST MOMENTS "Warning! Say no to the new digital ID. Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of the UK, leader of Labour, is trying to force us all to have a digital ID." "What if they don't like anything you post on social media? Well, they don't have to arrest you. They don't have to imprison you. They can just freeze and red flag and cancel your digital ID. You are no longer a citizen. You do not have any rights."

Over een maand gaan we naar de stembus. Maar wat staat er écht op het spel? Misschien wel de democratie zelf. Schrijver en essayist Roxane van Iperen waarschuwt dat we op een kantelpunt staan. Je voelt het overal broeien: in Amerika, met de moord op activist Charlie Kirk en president Trump die zelfs comedians van de buis wil weren. Maar ook in Nederland groeit het onbehagen. Waar zit het probleem? Is het economisch, cultureel – of heeft het te maken met de grote zingevingscrisis waar Roxane over schrijft? En ja, we kijken vaak naar de fouten van populistisch rechts. Maar welke fouten heeft links eigenlijk gemaakt? Roxane van Iperen schreef er een urgent essay over: Eigen planeet eerst. Waarom onze democratie geen antwoord heeft op het grootste vraagstuk van deze tijd. David Boogerd spreekt Roxane van Iperen uiteraard samen met vast gast theoloog Stefan Paas, hoogleraar aan de VU in Amsterdam en de Theologische Universiteit Utrecht.

How media helps to shape the conversation around innovation and social good to create global impact. This week my guests are: - Pierre-Yves Lanneau Saint Léger, CEO of Forbes Luxembourg and Silicon Luxembourg - Jess Bauldry, Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Luxembourg - Genna Elvin, co-founder of Tadaweb and President of Pulse, Luxembourg's largest startup association. - Anne Goeres, founder of Philantree Why Forbes Came to Luxembourg For Pierre-Yves Lanneau Saint Léger, the arrival of Forbes in Luxembourg was a recognition that our success stories deserve a global stage. Forbes embodies the values of celebrating entrepreneurship and Luxembourg is now part of the global Forbes family (49 editions). Pierre-Yves also highlights the continuing importance of Silicon Luxembourg, launched 13 years ago as a blog and now a vibrant community of 40,000 followers. “If you create your startup, you are in Silicon; when you sell your startup, you are in Forbes,” he quipped, neatly capturing the lifecycle of highly successful entrepreneurship. Storytelling and Connection Jess Bauldry knows that in Luxembourg, connections and jobs are often fostered through in-person engagement, especially in the startup sector. “So many business deals and jobs here are still made through face-to-face encounters, not just applications.” Storytelling is business necessity. Nonetheless, Jess and her team at Forbes and Silicon Luxembourg are highly attuned to spotlighting innovators who may not be the loudest in the room but are making transformative contributions without the self-promotion. She feels it is their job to shine a spotlight on people like this, rather than the ‘same faces' constantly. Building a Startup Nation Genna Elvin has become the pin-up girl for entrepreneurial tech success in Luxembourg. From modest beginnings in Brussels to developing Tadaweb in Luxembourg, the team has grown from nothing to 150 employees, raised €40 million in capital and expanded internationally with offices in Luxembourg, Paris, London and the United States. Recognised as one of Forbes' Top 100 Female Founders in Europe, Genna now also leads Pulse, Luxembourg's largest startup association. Elvin recalled being told a decade ago that Luxembourg could never attract top talent. “That's not true,” she insisted. Instead, her company recruit globally, offering newcomers an instant community and support system. From an in-person welcome to apartments on arrival, to thoughtful gestures like helping employees navigate supermarkets, Tadaweb put people first. “At a human level, you need to get the base right if you want to execute at a high level,” she said, referencing Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Her perspective also touched on Luxembourg's risk-averse culture, often cited as a barrier to innovation. While family-run businesses might make caution understandable, Genna knows that progress requires calculated risks. Philanthropy: Love for humanity Anne Goeres, who previously ran Luxembourg's children's cancer foundation, has now founded Philantree, an organisation designed to help businesses and families channel their wealth into meaningful impact. Goerges explained that while terms like charity, foundation or non-profit differ in structure, their essence is the same: love of humanity. “It always starts with a group of people committed to a cause,” she said, noting that even the largest organisations begin with small acts of compassion. Today, she sees a shift toward long-term partnerships rather than one-off donations. “Companies want to integrate philanthropy into their culture, aligning their values with those of their employees,” she said. This approach not only deepens impact but also helps unite generations around shared purpose. ESG: Beyond Box-Ticking Of course, philanthropy and sustainability are not immune to scepticism. Regulations can sometimes feel bureaucratic, and companies risk treating ESG commitments as box-ticking exercises. Yet Pierre-Yves and Bauldry agree that in today's job market, values-driven business is non-negotiable. Millennials and Gen Z want purposeful careers. Without them, companies will lose talent, and no amount of AI can replace that. That is why Forbes Luxembourg continues to highlight stories that blend profit with purpose. From entrepreneurs innovating in health and space tech to executives shaping green finance, the magazine seeks to showcase leaders who both earn and spend wisely, with an eye toward long-term wellbeing. The Future: Voices That Matter As Luxembourg prepares to unveil its Forbes Under 30 list, the challenge is not just to identify the loudest voices but to find and elevate those who deliver true, lasting impact. There is still time to apply or nominate someone! “Some founders don't have time for self-promotion,” Bauldry admitted. “Our job is to find them, investigate, and shine a light on their work.” This inclusive approach reflects the broader Luxembourg ecosystem: diverse, international, ambitious, yet grounded in a sense of community. https://philantree.lu/ https://www.tadaweb.com/ https://www.gennaelvin.com/ https://www.forbes.lu/ https://www.siliconluxembourg.lu/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/pylsl/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jess-bauldry/?originalSubdomain=lu https://www.forbes.lu/under-30/
Thank you to the folks at Sustain (https://sustainoss.org/) for providing the hosting account for CHAOSSCast! CHAOSScast – Episode 119 In this episode of CHAOSScast, we have a special episode from our friends at Sustain. Host Richard Littauer from Sustain is joined by guests Ben Nickolls and Andrew Nesbitt to discuss the ecosyste.ms project. They explore how ecosyste.ms collects and analyzes metadata from various open-source projects to create a comprehensive database that can help improve funding allocation. The discussion covers the importance of funding the most critical open-source projects, the existing gaps in funding, and the partnership between ecosyste.ms and Open Source Collective to create funding algorithms that support entire ecosystems. They also talk about the challenges of maintaining data, reaching out to project maintainers, and the broader implications for the open-source community. Hit the download button now! [00:03:16] Andrew and Ben explain ecosyste.ms, what it does, and how it compares to Libraries.io. [00:06:17] Ecosyste.ms tracks metadata, not the packages themselves, and enriches data via dependency graphs, committers, issues, SBOMs, and more. [00:08:12] Andrew talks about finding 1,890 Git hosts and how many critical projects live outside GitHub. [00:09:55] There's a conversation on metadata uses and SBOM parsing. [00:14:07] Richard inquires about the ecosystem.ms funds on their website which Andrew explains it's a collaboration between Open Collective and ecosyste.ms. that algorithmically distributes funds to the most used, not most popular packages. [00:17:03] Ben shares how this is different from previous projects and brings up a past project, “Back Your Stack” and explains how ecosyste.ms is doing two things differently. [00:20:17] Ben explains how it supports payouts to other platforms and encourages maintainers to adopt funding YAML files for automation. Andrew touches on efficient outreach, payout management, and API usage (GraphQL). [00:26:54] Ben elaborates on how companies can fund ecosyste.ms (like Django) instead of curating their own lists and being inspired by Sentry's work with the Open Source Pledge. [00:30:50] Andrew speaks about scaling and developer engagement and emphasizes their focus is on high-impact sustainability. [00:34:06] Richard asks, “Why does it matter?” Ben explains that most current funding goes to popular, not most used projects and ecosyste.ms aims to fix the gap with data backed funding, and he suggests use of open standards like 360Giving and Open Contracting Data. [00:37:04] Andrew shares his thoughts on funding the right projects by improving 1% of OSS, you uplift the quality of millions of dependent projects with healthier infrastructure, faster security updates, and more resilient software. [00:39:53] Find out where you can follow ecosyste.ms and the blog on the web. Quotes: [00:12:36] “I call them interesting forks. If a fork is referenced by a package, it'll get indexed.” [00:23:25] We've built a service that now moves like $25 million a year between OSS maintainers on OSC.” [00:34:41] “We don't have enough information to make collective decisions about which projects, communities, maintainers, should receive more funding.” [00:35:41] “The NSF POSE Program has distributed hundreds of millions of dollars of funding to open source communities alone.” [00:37:05] “If you have ten, twenty thousand really critical open source projects, that actually isn't unachievable to make those projects sustainable.” Spotlight: [00:40:53] Ben's spotlight is Jellyfin. [00:41:38]** **Andrew's spotlight is zizmor. [00:43:39] Richard's spotlight is The LaTeX Project.

In this must-watch episode of Holistic Investments, host Constantin Kogan sits down with crypto veteran David J. Namdar, CEO of BNB Network Company! With over 10 years in the game, David shares his wild journey: from pitching Bitcoin to Millennium hedge fund in 2013 (and getting rejected for lacking shorts!), co-founding Galaxy Digital with Mike Novogratz during the 2017 bull run, launching the 2nd Bitcoin ETF attempt (right after the Winklevoss twins), and now leading the charge in digital asset treasuries as CEO of BNB Network Company (NASDAQ: BNC).Why BNB?

Backed by CZ's Easy Labs (largest investor) and Tangem Capital, CA Industries holds the biggest BNB treasury on the planet. Learn how this MicroStrategy-inspired strategy (but for BNB) could 10x your exposure without direct access to Binance in the US. David predicts BNB surpassing XRP by end of 2025 – and why tokenized stocks, 24/7 markets, and AI agents will supercharge BNB Chain over Ethereum.Key Highlights:

Rob gets real and open about the impact of Labour's proposed tax policies on landlords and the housing market in the UK, arguing that their approach, which includes taxing landlords and introducing a national property tax, is detrimental to both property owners and renters, exacerbating the existing housing shortage. As one of the UK's most prominent property developers, he gets candid about the need for government support and incentives for landlords to help lower rents and stimulate housing development, critiquing the government's handling of immigration and social housing, and highlighting the disparity between asylum seekers receiving guaranteed rent and long-standing UK residents having to be placed on waiting lists BEST MOMENTS "Labour are causing the house price crash. Labour hate landlords. They are taxing them to death." "High rents are not caused by landlords being greedy. High rents are caused by the soaring costs of energy and water and the soaring inflation and taxation." "If Labour were smart, they would go, hey, landlords, here's a little bit of tax relief."

Psychologists Off The Clock: A Psychology Podcast About The Science And Practice Of Living Well
Why do some groups spark energy and creativity while others feel draining and tense? Taking on this topic, we sit down with Colin Fisher, the author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups. We dig into what really sets groups apart from one-on-one partnerships, how social norms and psychological safety shape the way groups function, and why synergy can feel so unpredictable yet incredibly powerful.Colin shares stories and research from his book, busting some common myths about group dynamics, the risks of trying to “sort” people into roles, and how relaunching a team can reset unhealthy patterns. From jazz improvisation to Nobel Prize-winning teams, this conversation is packed with insights and practical takeaways for anyone who wants to get the most out of working and living with others.Listen and Learn: What makes a group different from a one-on-one relationship, and why does that difference matter?Why relying on “sorting hat” thinking like personality tests or rigid categories can limit group success and fuel unhelpful divisionsWhy we often overlook the power of groupsCan you spot the invisible norms shaping your group before they push you toward extreme or unhealthy behaviors?How can bringing in new perspectives or encouraging psychological safety keep your group balanced and open-minded?What is psychological safety?How can groups achieve that magical sense of synergy?Creating high-performing teamsRelaunching groups to reset unhealthy patterns and improve team dynamicsResources:Colin's Book: The Collective Edge: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780593715345 Colins Website: https://colinmfisher.com/ Colin's Substack: https://colinmfisher.substack.com/Connect with Colin on Social Media: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colinmfisher?originalSubdomain=ukhttps://www.instagram.com/trumpetfisher/ Undoing Project by Michael Lewis: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780393354775 Work, Parent, Thrive by Yael Schonbrun: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781611809657 Social Intelligence Test: https://socialintelligence.labinthewild.org/mite/About Colin FisherSince his days as a professional jazz trumpet player, Colin Fisher has been fascinated by group dynamics.

The film production began in 2018, and much has changed since then. It is now 2025, and this story is far from over.https://www.youtube.com/@UCz6UbVKfqutH-N7WXnC5Ykg https://www.kyivofmine.com/#theprojectKyiv of Mine is fast paced, beautifully filmed, humorous, fun, insightful, heartbreaking, moving, hopeful. The very antithesis in fact of a doom-laden and worthy wartime documentary. This is a work that is extraordinarily uplifting. My friend Operator Starsky says the film is “Made with so much love. The film series will make you laugh and cry.” ----------LINKS:https://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Total-War-Abduction-Disinformation/dp/1785909487https://x.com/IoWBobSeelyhttps://www.rusi.org/people/seelyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Seelyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-seely-mbe-10304468/?originalSubdomain=ukhttps://kclpure.kcl.ac.uk/portal/en/persons/bob-seely----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.
