What if some of the greatest investment opportunities weren't hiding in Silicon Valley or Wall Street, but inside small businesses that have been overlooked for decades?In this episode of The Conscious Capitalists, hosts Timothy Henry and Raj Sisodia sit down with Monika Mantilla, Co-Founder, President & CEO of Altura Capital (https://alturacap.com/), to explore how patient capital, purpose-driven investing, and entrepreneurial success can create extraordinary financial returns while strengthening communities. Over the past 21 years, Monika has built a proven track record investing in lower middle market businesses across low-and-moderate-income communities, demonstrating that impact and performance are not competing priorities, but mutually reinforcing ones.Monika shares why Altura Capital was intentionally built as an investment platform rather than a traditional private equity fund, allowing the firm to provide flexible capital tailored to the unique needs of growing businesses. She explains why patient investment horizons of three to seven years, combined with operational partnership and long-term thinking, consistently outperform short-term approaches. Along the way, she introduces The Altura Way, the firm's ten-pillar value creation framework that helps companies strengthen strategy, operations, leadership, governance, digital transformation, and community impact while building more resilient businesses.The conversation also explores one of the largest untapped opportunities in modern investing. Monika discusses research conducted alongside 29 of America's largest corporations that identified an estimated $590 billion in unrealized value within underserved business segments. She explains how diverse ownership, improved market access, and stronger partnerships with companies such as Walmart, Kroger, CVS, Merck, and Johnson & Johnson help unlock growth that traditional investors often overlook.But this episode reaches far beyond investing. Monika reflects on the influence of her upbringing in Bogotá, Colombia, the lasting impact of her mother, her faith-driven approach to leadership, and the philosophy that guides both her life and business: ser en el hacer—being in the doing. She also shares her unique 200-hour planning system, organizing life into fourteen categories across eight-week cycles, and explains why she considers leading Altura to be only her seventh priority after ensuring the rest of her life is aligned with her values.Listeners will gain insights into:Why the lower middle market represents one of the most overlooked opportunities in private equityWhat patient capital really means and why long-term investing creates stronger businessesHow Altura's ten-pillar value creation framework systematically scales growing companiesWhy diverse ownership and investing in underserved communities can generate above-market returnsHow market access and strategic partnerships accelerate business growthWhy values, intentional leadership, and disciplined time management are foundational to long-term successThe role conscious capitalism can play in creating both economic progress and social progressWhether you're an investor, entrepreneur, business leader, or simply interested in how capitalism can be a force for lasting value creation, this episode offers a compelling conversation about building businesses that deliver exceptional returns while expanding opportunity for more people.If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify?

No other podcast has this! https://economist.com/TOE This podcast is about dark matter — and Professor Philip Mannheim thinks it isn't missing at all, just hiding in plain sight as the rest of the visible universe. In his first-ever podcast, on ideas he's pursued since 1972, Mannheim lays out conformal gravity: a theory built on Weyl symmetry rather than Einstein's equations, which explains galaxy rotation curves without dark matter, tames the cosmological constant, and fits the accelerating universe without fine-tuning. With longtime collaborator Carl Bender, he also resolves gravity's infamous "ghost" problem using PT symmetry instead of Hermiticity — suggesting the graviton may not even exist as a particle.

Everybody seems to agree on a lot of things lately.Parity is good.The Spurs were a dynasty.Victor Wembanyama is the future.America is terrible.The more I hear these opinions repeated, the more I find myself asking a simple question:Did people actually arrive at these conclusions themselves?Or did they inherit them?

(00:00) Zolak and Bertrand start off the final hour by taking calls from listeners and giving their thoughts on the Bruins retiring Patrice Bergeron's jersey.(12:26) Zo and Beetle defend the argument for dynasties being good for sports, “Greatness is Validated”, eras with dynasties were some of the best. McKone argues that knowing the champion going into the season makes it worse for smaller non-contender franchises.(27:02) The guys talk about the ongoing Red Sox game and take calls to round out the final hour of the show.(34:38) Today's Takeaway.

Microsoft Build 2026 announced an end-to-end agentic AI stack. COMPUTEX Taipei confirmed heterogeneous AI infrastructure across ARM, Marvell, Intel, Qualcomm, and NVIDIA. Alphabet raised $80 billion. Cisco Live repositioned the network as the AI platform. Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman break it all down alongside earnings from Broadcom, HPE, Palo Alto Networks, and CrowdStrike, plus the token cost conversation, the edge AI push, and what Palantir and Oracle are saying about proprietary data as the real AI moat. The handpicked topics for this week are: Microsoft Build 2026 Announced an End-to-End Agentic AI Stack: Microsoft shipped MAI-Thinking-1, its first homegrown thinking model, alongside Scout, Microsoft IQ, Project Solara, and a Majorana 2 quantum update targeting a 2029 commercial timeline with claims of a 1,000x reliability gain. Pat describes MAI-Thinking-1 as likely better than Sonnet 4.6 in blind testing and delivering close to GPT 5.5 quality at a far lower cost. Scout is Microsoft's first autopilot agent, anchoring the M365 Agent Suite with Office Pilot Agent Mode and Agent 365. Microsoft IQ serves as the context layer, integrating M365, business data, boundary IQ, and web IQ with GitHub Copilot, Foundry, and Copilot Studio. Project Solara is a new Android-based platform built for agent-first devices across transportation, retail, and hospital settings. Microsoft also added 83 Unix commands to the Windows stack. Dan frames Microsoft's real play as distribution, not frontier model development, noting that the open model ecosystem being pulled into the platform will matter more to CFOs managing token costs at scale. (The Decode) The AI Stack Goes Multi-Silicon — COMPUTEX Taipei 2026 Confirms Heterogeneous AI Infrastructure: ARM's AGI CPU is in production with Google moving its TPU head node to ARM, and adding Oracle and ByteDance as new customers. ARM also introduced a new switch, the TT100, and put the 51T CPO switch on stage. Marvell received a trillion-dollar company endorsement from Jensen Huang, adding $90 billion in market cap on the comment alone. Intel announced disaggregated inference details and Xeon 6+ Clearwater Forest, its first 18A data center processor. Vista Equity and Cambium Capital announced a NeoCloud called Vector Core Compute, with Xeon 6 handling orchestration, Salmonova RUs handling decode, and Blackwell GPUs handling pre-fill. Qualcomm's Cristiano Amon announced the Dragonfly data center brand with Snapdragon C details coming at their June investor day. The WSTS raised the 2026 semiconductor TAM forecast by 90% to $1.51 trillion, with Pat noting the market could hit a trillion dollars if memory is excluded entirely. (The Decode) NVIDIA RTX Spark and the Edge AI Push: NVIDIA coordinated with ARM and Microsoft around the RTX Spark at COMPUTEX, with the shared message being that the future of Windows is here. Signal65's Ryan Shrout asked Jensen directly why NVIDIA wants to be in the PC business, given low margins and diminishing returns. Dan frames the answer in the context of devices increasingly becoming mobile data centers, capable of running models at much greater efficiency than cloud delivery. The edge AI conversation is also directly tied to token cost economics: as intelligence delivery moves closer to the device, the cost per token drops significantly. The jury is still out on whether NVIDIA will meaningfully disrupt the PC market, but its influence over OEMs like Lenovo and Dell that depend on it for data center gives it real leverage over SKUs. (The Decode) Token Economics and Frontier Model Cost Pressure: Dan and Pat discuss a substantive shift in how enterprises are thinking about AI consumption costs. Dan argues that "token maxing," the practice of defaulting to the most powerful frontier model for every task, has now effectively peaked, as bills have come due at scale. Companies paying for tokens in volume are starting to question whether they can afford the prices that frontier models actually cost to deliver. Pat pushes back, saying the dynamic is still present, but both analysts agree that the market is moving toward a model where token selection is matched to the job, with Microsoft's MOE approach and thinking models positioned to help CFOs manage that economics story. (The Decode) Continuum Goes Public at Highest Valuation for an AI Platform: Dan notes that Continuum, the Honeywell-spawned quantum company, went public this week at what he calls the highest valuation for an AI platform to date. He flags that IonQ will likely contest that characterization. The broader context is Microsoft entering the quantum conversation with Majorana 2 at Build, a name that has largely been absent from the quantum race, while IBM has received most of the attention. (The Decode) AI CapEx Has Outgrown Cash Flow — Alphabet's $80 Billion Equity Raise: On June 1, Alphabet announced an $80 billion equity capital raise, upsized to $85 billion, structured as $40 billion ATM, $30 billion underwritten, and a $10 billion private placement with Berkshire Hathaway anchoring. Pat frames the questions over CapEx returns as entirely dependent on whether you are an AI boomer or a doomer: if the payback comes, the raise is the right move. If it does not, the math doesn't close. Dan argues the investment is existential, drawing parallels to how infrastructure-first companies have always spent ahead of monetization, and notes that Google's equity is being used as a capital engine that may be more efficient than the debt markets right now. Both analysts flag the downstream implications for Broadcom, MediaTek, and Marvell given the TPU connection. (The Decode) The Network Becomes the AI Platform: Cisco Live 2026: Cisco launched Silicon One P200, the Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA and Spectrum X, AgenticOps, MCP-native automation, Cisco IQ, LiveProtect, and folded Astrix Security and Galileo into Splunk under one control plane. Pat identifies Cisco Cloud Control as the biggest announcement of the entire show, pulling together Catalyst, Meraki, Nexus, Firewall, and WebEx under agentic ops that run natively through MCP, with code running directly on smart switches that have x86 processors. Pat also credits Cisco for establishing Silicon One as a credible chip alternative for hyperscalers capable of taking on Tomahawk and Jericho. Dan frames the long-term opportunity as campus and branch enablement when industrial AI and robotics deployments accelerate, arguing that the numerator of AI's economic impact has barely started, as edge deployment spending has not yet begun. (The Decode) The Flip: Did Microsoft Build 2026 Effectively End the OpenAI Partnership? Pat argues the divorce decree has been filed. MAI-Thinking-1 was built with zero distillation from third-party models offering clean enterprise data lineage, with Maia 200 in production plus Anthropic chip supply, which signals vendor hedging. OpenAI is going all-in on AWS, which means you cannot be married to two people, and the full Build stack covering model, OS containment via MXC, agents via Scout and Agent 365, and context via Microsoft IQ removes every architectural dependency on OpenAI. Dan counters that Microsoft is hedging rather than leaving and predicts the partnership will run through the decade. Enterprise Copilot customers are explicitly showing in data that they demand GPT 5.5, internal benchmarks have not been independently validated, and Microsoft stands to make meaningful money from the OpenAI IPO. (The Flip) Broadcom Q2 FY26 Earnings: Broadcom posted revenue of $22.19 billion, a narrow miss depending on which consensus data set is used, with EPS of $2.44 beating estimates and AI semis at $10.8 billion. Hock Tan declined to raise the $100 billion full-year AI chip target, and the stock dropped 13% in premarket trading. Q3 guide came in at $29.4 billion. Pat calls the miss a timing issue driven by Google's multi-sourcing across Marvell, MediaTek, and Broadcom rather than a fundamental problem. Dan flags that Hock Tan opened the earnings call by accidentally reading from the 2025 print, calling it "not the best moment." Sell-side re-ratings held in the 500s across Jefferies, Mizuho, and Deutsche Bank despite the drop, with Futurum Equities having it at 600. (Bulls and Bears) Hewlett Packard Enterprise Q2 FY26 Earnings: HPE delivered revenue of $10.68 billion, up 40% year over year, and EPS of $0.79, up 100%. Juniper integration and AI servers both outperformed, and all FY26 guides were raised. The stock jumped 19% after hours before settling into a roughly 15% gain, with HPE up 68% over the last month. Pat frames HPE as a value play rather than a volume play, methodically targeting enterprise and sovereign cloud deals where it can maintain profitability, rather than competing for massive NeoCloud volume. Antonio Neri was clear on the call that the profitability pull-forward is a one-shot deal. Pat and Dan will both be at HPE Discover the week after next to interview Neri and the C-suite. (Bulls and Bears) Palo Alto Networks Q3 FY26 Earnings: Palo Alto posted revenue of $3.0 billion, up 31% year over year, beating the $2.94 billion estimate, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.85, beating the $0.79 to $0.81 range. NGS ARR reached $8.1 billion, up 60% year over year, including $1.6 billion from CyberArk and Chronosphere. RPO hit $18.4 billion, up 36%. Both FY26 revenue and EPS guides were raised. Adjusted FCF margin came in at 38.5% TTM, up 430 basis points. The stock jumped 11% immediately after hours, then drifted lower. Pat points to 2,200 platformized customers and 120% net retention as the most important metrics. Dan notes the SaaSpocalypse thesis continues to be wrong. (Bulls and Bears) CrowdStrike Q1 FY27 Earnings and the Proprietary Data Moat Argument: CrowdStrike posted revenue of $1.39 billion with EPS of $1.10 and ARR of $5.51 billion. Net new ARR of $255.8 million set a Q1 record, up 32% year over year. FY27 net new ARR guide was raised by $52 million to a $1.29 billion midpoint, and FY27 revenue was raised to $5.915 to $5.959 billion. A 4-for-1 stock split was announced effective July 2nd. The stock dropped 11% despite the beat after a 64% year-to-date run into earnings. Dan uses the results to make a broader argument against the software disruption thesis, referencing Palantir CEO Alex Karp daring customers to build without him using Anthropic or OpenAI, and Larry Ellison's argument that the real AI value unlock sits in proprietary enterprise data that is not accessible to frontier models. Enterprises with governed, secure, proprietary data will continue to need platforms like CrowdStrike regardless of what frontier models can do. (Bulls and Bears) Six Five Summit is coming.

Kevin Werbach speaks with long-time responsible AI leader Rumman Chowdhury the current environment, in which substantive standards and oversight efforts for AI are taking shape amid a larger anti-regulation wave. Chowdhury distinguishes sharply between frontier labs, where the posture is largely "AI at all costs," and the non-tech enterprises she works with, who are wrestling with how to scale governance bodies that originally reviewed single AI implementations to hundreds of systems, third-party procurement questions, and agentic workloads. She describes the current evaluations market as immature on nearly every dimension, and explains why generic benchmarks rarely translate to enterprise contexts like insurance or auto manufacturing. The conversation then turns to AI's impact on work and education. Her concern is that companies pursuing short-term efficiency by cutting entry-level hiring will face what MIT researchers Caosun and Aral call the "augmentation trap," in which workers' cognitive skills atrophy while new workers never develop them. She offers "discernment" as her 2026 word of the year, discribing the skill -- more than just critical thinking -- we must cultivate and defend. Her new podcast and forthcoming book, Thinking About Thinking, argues that our notion of intelligence was built for an Industrial Revolution workforce we are now automating away. Dr. Rumman Chowdhury is the founder of Humane Intelligence PBC, building modular, tool-agnostic AI evaluation infrastructure for enterprise and real-world contexts. She co-founded the nonprofit Humane Intelligence in 2022 and served as its CEO until 2025. She previously was Director of the Machine Learning Ethics, Transparency, and Accountability team at Twitter, founder of the algorithmic audit platform Parity, and Global Lead of Responsible AI at Accenture, where she built one of the first enterprise-level bias detection tools. She has served as U.S. Science Envoy for AI and as a Responsible AI Fellow at Harvard's Berkman Klein Center, and holds a doctorate in political science from the University of California, San Diego.

Why are women still dramatically underrepresented in leadership positions despite earning the majority of college degrees and making up half the workforce? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Gloria Feldt, visionary leadership strategist, bestselling author, and co-founder of Take The Lead. Drawing on decades of experience, including serving as national president of Planned Parenthood and building leadership development programs for women, Gloria explains why the issue is not a lack of ambition but a deeper challenge around women's relationship with power and money. This episode is a must-listen for women leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want to expand their impact, influence, and ability to create meaningful change.   What You Will Learn: How Gloria Felt's early life experiences shaped her passion for gender equality and leadership. What the real barriers to gender parity in leadership are and why ambition is not the issue. How women can redefine power as a creative force rather than something oppressive. Why women's relationship with money and power plays a critical role in leadership advancement. How strong networks and relationships create opportunities, funding, and career growth. What leadership power tools women can use to move into positions of influence. Why thinking bigger about business and impact can help accelerate women into leadership roles.   FAQ: Why has gender parity in leadership still not been achieved? Despite women making up roughly half of the workforce and earning the majority of college degrees, systemic cultural conditioning and structural barriers still limit women's access to leadership roles. Gloria Felt explains that the issue is not ambition but the way power and leadership have historically been defined and rewarded.   What does Gloria Felt mean by redefining power? Gloria teaches that power should not be viewed as "power over others," but as energy that can be used to create, build, and improve lives. When women shift their mindset to see power as a positive and generative force, they become more willing to pursue leadership roles.   How can women build businesses that create larger impact? Gloria encourages women to think bigger when starting businesses and to design companies that create meaningful impact in people's lives. Building organizations that solve large problems attracts investment, attention, and opportunities for scale. Connect with Gloria FeldtTake the Lead Women Connect with Anjel B.

Growth is slowing in Europe and losing momentum in the US, while Germany is on track to overtake the Netherlands in installed chargers during 2026.UK SUPPLIERS PULL FIXED DEALS AS GAS SPIKESUK energy suppliers slashed available fixed tariffs from 38 to 17 in a matter of days as wholesale gas prices spiked roughly 75% following disruption to Middle Eastern gas infrastructure, with the cheapest typical annual dual-fuel fixed deal rising from £1,509 to £1,640. EV-specific tariffs were also affected, with EDF pausing some EV tariffs and E.ON briefly freezing one, threatening the cost advantage of off-peak home charging for EV drivers.NEXTSTAR SWITCHES ON CANADA'S FIRST EV CELL PLANTNextStar Energy, a Stellantis and LG Energy Solution joint venture, has opened Canada's first commercial-scale EV battery cell plant in Windsor, Ontario, having already produced over one million cells since production began in November 2025. Beyond supplying Stellantis brands, NextStar aims to expand into stationary energy storage for municipal and provincial grids.STELLANTIS PLANS £50M ELLESMERE PORT VAN LINEStellantis will invest £50 million at Ellesmere Port to add an assembly line for electric Vauxhall Vivaro vans and other midsize zero-emission commercial vehicles from next year, building on the site's existing all-electric output. However, Stellantis warns the plant may not be commercially viable under the UK's ZEV mandate for vans, which carries an £18,000 fine per non-compliant vehicle at a 24% electric sales threshold that the industry is currently only half-meeting.MET SEIZES 52 ILLEGAL E-BIKES AND MOPEDSThe Metropolitan Police seized 52 illegal electric bikes and mopeds across London over two days, using targeted checkpoints in high-pedestrian-risk areas including Harlesden and Cambridge Circus. Officers also made arrests for dangerous driving, weapons possession, and outstanding prison recall warrants, linking illegal e-bikes to phone snatches and broader street crime.MEXICO AUTO PLANTS PIVOT TO HIGHER-VALUE EVSMexico's auto sector is shifting focus from volume to higher-value output between 2025 and 2027, with GM concentrating Cadillac OPTIQ production at Ramos Arizpe and BMW committing its San Luis Potosí plant to build the iX3 — its first Neue Klasse EV — from 2027. Both manufacturers have maintained their Mexican strategies despite ongoing uncertainty from US tariffs and trade policy under President Trump.FARLEY POURS COLD WATER ON ELECTRIC UTESFord CEO Jim Farley says current BEV technology is poorly suited to mainstream ute and pickup buyers who tow heavy loads, calling a large-battery BEV "a really bad tow-er," and Ford has already shelved the F-150 Lightning following weak demand and a $19.5 billion EV writedown. Farley backs extended-range EVs as the near-term bridge solution for work-capable vehicles, while dismissing solid-state batteries and fuel cells as not yet on Ford's product horizon.

Wednesday's 9am hour of Mac & Cube got underway with the realization that the SEC has basically become the Big 12; then, the guys wonder who's the next Indiana - the team that'll have massive success and come out of nowhere; later, we ask if having all these unknowns about all these teams is making College Football better; and finally, is it more important to have better QB play or defensive play? "McElroy & Cubelic In The Morning" airs 7am-10am weekdays on WJOX-94.5!!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We've been saying it all year, "Parity is King!" We just the saw highest number of fourth-quarter lead changes ever witnessed in a single NFL postseason. We learned a ton. Matt Stafford is a gunslinger. Carolina should sign Bryce Young to a Sam Darnold like contract. Ben Johnson's rivalry with Matt LeFleur and Green Bay is good for the game. Josh Allen's tush is pushier than Jalen Hurts. The 49ers are dead in the water without George Kittle. Drake Maye and Company got their stinker out of the way--and crushed Justin Herbert's soul in the process. Dave Dameshek and former NFL lineman Geoff Schwartz review the game-tape and let you know what you need as the playoffs continue on Football America!
