But he's just been a swindler his entire life.”Rogan: what has Mamdani actually done that makes him a swindler?“Ummm,” Musk ponders, before stuttering into a series of words seemingly intended as an answer. “Well I guess if you say — uh, what, I mean, if you say, if you say to any audience whatever that audience wants to hear, uh, instead of, what, instead of having a consistent message, I would say that is a swindling thing to do. “Umm, and uhh, yeah,” he adds, nodding his head. “Umm…”He takes a sagacious pause.“Yeah,” he finishes.Barstool's Dave Portnoy considers closing NYC office over Zohran Mamdani's election win: 'I hate the guy' A 2020 email from Peter Thiel on why young people may turn on capitalism is circulating after Zohran Mamdani's winFrom Jamie Dimon to Bill Ackman, Wall Street's billionaires are now changing their tune and offering to help Zohran MamdaniNew York City is in for 'a really tough time' under Mamdani, says Starwood Capital's SternlichtNYC business leader fears 'lawless society' after Zohran Mamdani wins mayoral electionBillionaire grocery chain owner John CastimatidisThe anti-anti-DEI wave MMMikie Sherrill NJAbigail Spanberger VA (First woman)there will be 14 women serving simultaneously as governor (28%)Janet Mills MEMaura Healey MA (Michelle Wu runs unopposed in Boston)Kelly Ayotte NHKathy Hochul NYMary Sheffield (First woman elected mayor of Detroit)Ghazala Hashmi as VA lieutenant governor (First Muslim woman; First Muslim woman elected to statewide office in the USZohran Mamdani NYC (First Muslim and South Asian mayor)Zohran Mamdani announces all-female transition team as he prepares for New York mayoraltyLawsuits Blame ChatGPT for Suicides and Harmful DelusionsSeven complaints, filed on Thursday, claim the popular chatbot encouraged dangerous discussions and led to mental breakdowns.A CNN review of nearly 70 pages of chats between Zane Shamblin and the AI tool in the hours before his July 25 suicide, as well as excerpts from thousands more pages in the months leading up to that night, found that the chatbot repeatedly encouraged the young man as he discussed ending his life – right up to his last momentsReferring to a loaded handgun he was holding: “I'm used to the cool metal on my temple now,” Shamblin typed.“I'm with you, brother.

Many of the loudest objections of this plan to date rely on moral framing, invoking themes of "inequality," "corporate excess," or Musk's public persona, rather than evaluating the plan through a fiduciary lens. Many opponents of so-called "megapay" packages frequently do so under ESG framing, rather than a thorough analysis of the long-term shareowner economic value. Ironically, Tesla's prior performance awards-similarly criticized at the time-have delivered some of the most significant shareowner returns in modern corporate history. Early vote data shows that: AllianceBernstein, Texas Employees, Ohio Employees voted FOR the planTechnolibertarians cosplaying their William Gibson cyberpunk fantasiesAss quotes of the week - AN ASSHOLE CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE:“The idea that chips and ontology is what you want to short is bats--- crazy.” - Alex Karp on Michael Burry shorting his 400 P/E stock. Ontology is how he refers to what Palantir does and it's the metaphysical concept of “being”“We at Palantir are on the side of the average American who sometimes gets screwed because all the empathy goes to elite people and none of it goes to the people who are actually dying on our streets.” - Alex Karp on explaining that, if fentanyl killed 60,000 Yale grads we'd “drop a nuke” on wherever fentanyl was made in South America, without realizing he literally IS the elite - a billionaire with a high priced education and a PhD in “neoclassical social theory” who used his grandfather's inheritance to invest in startups for fun, then reconnecting with Peter Thiel who he met at a DIFFERENT post graduate program at Stanford (where nearly 100% of his board is from) and founding Palantir"China is going to win the AI race” - Jensen Huang, on the US being only “nanoseconds” ahead of China and being stopped by regulatory hurdles and “cynicism”“If they ask you a question, you've got to respond to me directly and not go up that chain of command. The chain of command starts to edit it and fine-tune it. The bureaucracy does want to control you, so you've got to kill the bureaucracy.” - Jamie Dimon, who once said he had no boss (obviously not the board) and runs JPM, on why he reads customer complaints to avoid “the bureaucracy”... he controls“It's very important we pay attention to safety here. We do want the Star Wars movie, not the Jim Cameron movie. I like Jim Cameron's movies, but, heh heh, you know what I mean.” - Elon Musk over promising the world “tens of billions” of Optimus robots, forgetting that the Star Wars droids were mostly weapons of war for the Empire“People often talk about eliminating poverty, giving everyone amazing medical care. Well, there's actually only one way to do that and that's with the Optimus robot. With humanoid robots, you can give everyone amazing medical care… A lot of people talk about eliminating poverty, but Optimus will actually eliminate poverty” - Elon Musk, who won an extra trillion dollar potential pay package, who currently has a net worth of $500bn, and forgot that the UN estimated it would cost between $35bn and $200bn per year to end poverty - Musk alone could just pay for a year of no poverty“I think we may be able to give a more - if somebody has committed a crime - a more humane form of containment of future crime. Which is if, if you, you now get a free Optimus and it's just going to follow you around and stop you from doing crime.” - Elon Musk, on the robot militarized nanny state - just before saying this, he said he shouldn't say it, and that it'll be taken out of context, but I listened to the entire AGM and there was no more context?DR: “I've lived in a failed city-state. I lived in Chicago for 30-some years. I had two colleagues who had bullets fly through their cars… Do you know how great it is to go to dinner and people talk about their children, and they talk about their future, and they do so with excitement and enthusiasm?” - Ken Griffin of Citadel describing the difference between living in Miami and Chicago without realizing that violent crime statistics in Illinois and Florida are virtually identical, and that Miami ranks 109th out of 200 and Chicago ranks 92 out of 200 for crime, also near identical, and the biggest difference is he pays almost no taxes in Florida“[Mamdani] congrats on the win. Now you have a big responsibility. If I can help NYC, just let me know what I can do.” - Bill Ackman after Mamdani won, who previously said, “New York City under Mamdani is about to become much more dangerous and economically unviable,” alluded to Mamdani as a suicide bomber, and “... an anti-capitalist Mayor will destroy jobs and cause businesses and wealthy taxpayers that have enabled NYC to balance the budget to move elsewhere. If 100 or so of the highest taxpayers in my industry chose to spend 183 days elsewhere, it could reduce NY state and city tax revenues by ~$5-10 billion or more, and that's just my industry. Think Ken Griffin leaving Chicago for Miami on steroids.”Headliniest of the WeekDR: Uber says ‘unpredictable' issues involving ‘legal proceedings or governmental investigations' took a $479 million bite out of its bottom line10K:“Our business is subject to numerous legal and regulatory risks that could have an adverse impact on our business and future prospects.”“Adverse litigation judgments or settlements resulting from legal proceedings in which we may be involved could expose us to monetary damages or limit our ability to operate our business.”“We operate in a particularly complex legal and regulatory environment”“Legal and Regulatory Risks Related to Our Business: We may continue to be blocked from or limited in providing or operating our products and offerings in certain jurisdictions, and may be required to modify our business model in those jurisdictions as a result.”MM: Meta reportedly projected 10% of 2024 sales came from scam, fraud adsWho Won the Week?DR: the anti-anti-DEI worldMM: Women, and we need them to win every week if we're going to survive as a species: Women running on affordability powered Democrats' night of victories PredictionsDR: Uber says ‘unpredictable' issues involving ‘drivers wanting money' took a $479 million bite out of its bottom lineMM: OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar, who said simultaneously that OpenAI was looking for a government backstop and then clarified by saying the company isn't seeking government backstop, she meant investors and governments will all do their part, renames herself “Sheryl Sandfriar” as an homage to Sheryl Sandberg, the other techbro dropout mommy, given that Sarah already has her own version of Lean In (Ladies Who Lunch) and completed degrees (from Oxford and Stanford), who says things like how OpenAI will be the “cornerstone of resilient democracy”

Budgets are shrinking, patience is thinner and the CMO seat is a revolving door. Keep playing the old playbook and you're next.What if the path forward isn't “more content, faster”, but a hard reset on power, process and what we even call “brand”?In this episode, Drew Neisser, Founder of CMO Huddles, drops a reality check on B2B: CMOs are operating in Antarctica—hostile, short-term, and PE-pressured and it's still the most exciting moment in marketing. We get blunt about the “do more with less” lie, why “brand” is a budget-killing word (start saying “reputation”), and how AI should first nuke your workflows and org chart before you let it ghostwrite your strategy.). This is the insider's guide to surviving the freeze and shipping work that closes.We also cover:CMO power plays: why owning Partnerships/Rev levers earns a real seat at the table.Short-termism judo: aligning with CFOs on “metrics that matter” and fixing attribution theater.What actually converts now: late-stage, face-to-face moments (small dinners > giant trade shows).Direct mail's comeback: high-impact, targeted sends that unblock stalled deals.

Welcome back to the EUVC Podcast — where we go deep with the people shaping European venture.Today, David sits down with Kristaps Ronis, Partner at ION Pacific, a global secondaries investor (HQ in LA, presence in Europe & Asia) focused on Series B+ tech and a specialty that's getting hotter by the month: structured secondaries.Kristaps runs ION Pacific's European practice and has been with the firm since inception (2015).

Peste 600 de oameni au plecat deja (Ziarul Financiar)  Analiză: Vizită de consolare a liderului NATO în România? (DW) Secretarul general al NATO a venit la București să convingă România că retragerea parțială a trupelor americane nu afectează securitatea statului, fiindcă „toată Alianța va veni să salveze țara” în cazul unui atac. Liderul NATO, Mark Rutte, primit pentru prima dată în această calitate la București, a declarat că președintele american Donald Trump a păstrat „angajamentul față de Alianță” și față de „efeorturile ei comune” și că oricum intră în funcțiune de acum Santinela Estului (Eastern Sentry). După întâlnirea pe care a avut-o cu președintele Nicușor Dan, cei doi adus argumente prin care să demonstreze că plecarea militarilor americani de elită de la Baza Mihail Kogălniceanu și rămânerea aici a tehnicienilor și aviației nu afectează în niciun fel siguranța României. Atât Rutte, cât și Dan au insistat că Santinela Estului îi va înlocui cu brio pe soldații SUA. După ce 21 de drone rusești au intrat în spațiul aerian al Poloniei, în septembrie, NATO a anunțat că lansează operațiunea Santinela Estului care urmează să integreze toate capacitățile de apărare din regiunea aflată între Marea Neagră, Marea Baltică și Mediterana. Secretarul general NATO a venit în România nu doar pentru a discuta cu oficialii români despre cum evoluează Santinela Estului sau despre cumpărăturile de care are nevoie țara pentru a se apăra, cât mai cu seamă pentru a da asigurări că țara nu va fi abandonată. Mark Rutte a vrut să fie sigur că fiecare român va înțelege că NATO va apăra la o adică România și că nu doar americanii pot întări scutul defensiv la Marea Neagră și la granița de Est a Alianței. A fost un fel de vizită de consolare, după anunțul plecării celor 1000 de militari trimiși aici de SUA, consideră jurnalista DW Sabina Fati. Cine este Bogos, afaceristul din Vaslui acuzat acum de DNA că punea presiuni pentru schimbarea unui director care descoperise nereguli grave la fermele lui. Ironizat de un om din dosar că „degeaba s-a dus la Bolojan. I-a zis: «Nu mă bag»” (HotNews) Considerat unul dintre principalii jucători de pe piața avicolă din România, Fănel Bogos a fost reținut de procurori pentru 24 de ore în dosarul în care este acuzat de DNA că „a apelat la rețele de influență” pentru a schimba conducerea DSVSA Vaslui. DNA nu a făcut, încă, publice captele de acuzare și nici numele persoanelor inculpate în dosarul Bogos. Mediafax a scris ieri, citând stenograme din dosar, că Bogos a apelat la „rețele de influență” pentru a schimba conducerea DSVSA Vaslui ajungând și la premierul Ilie Bolojan. Guvernul a confirmat că premierul s-a întâlnit cu Bogos, care a însoțit un lider PNL la întrevedere, dar discuția „nu a avut niciun fel de urmări”. Versiunea guvernului e confirmată de o stenogramă din dosar, în care un apropiat râde de Bogos că a discutat cu Bolojan, care a zis că „nu se bagă”. De la un fost CAP cumpărat în 2001, medicul veterinar Fănel Bogos din Vaslui a reușit să dezvolte o afacere impresionantă, ajungând în prezent la peste 20 de ferme de păsări în Vaslui, Iași și Galați, stație de incubație și o fabrică de preparate din carne.  Pe larg, pe pagina HotNews.

Grant Thornton's top audit leader is bullish on the practice's future after a 2024 deal that sold a significant stake in the accounting and advisory firm to private equity investors led by New Mountain Capital. The audit practice has benefited from a boost in dedicated resources and also bolstered its safeguards against conflicts of interest. Those improvements stem from an operating contract between Grant Thornton's legacy audit practice and its PE-backed business, said Ron Messenger, CEO of Grant Thornton's audit business. The firm's private equity deal ushered in a new two-part legal structure that created a corporate entity to provide its tax and advisory work while audit partners run the firm's legacy assurance business. Nearly half of the largest 30 firms have cut PE deals and they all rely on what the industry calls the “alternative practice structure.” Underpinning that new operating structure is a services agreement spelling out the relationship between the two entities from governance to resources. Those agreements can't be an afterthought, Messenger said. He spoke with Bloomberg Tax reporter Amanda Iacone about how Grant Thornton's services agreement came together, how regulators informed that document, and how it will influence the quality of the firm's auditing.

Peste 70 de țări au fost reprezentate de-a lungul timpului, doar 52 de campioni urcând pe cea mai înaltă treaptă. Ediția europeană 2026 se va desfășura la Marsilia, transformând orașul într-o veritabilă capitală gastronomică. Vorbim despre această premieră pentru țara noastră, în RFI360, cu Chef Cezar Munteanu, președintele Asociației Bucătarilor și Cofetarilor din Turism – România (ANBCT) România a fost selectată oficial să participe la Bocuse d'Or Europe 2026, cea mai prestigioasă competiție gastronomică din lume. Este pentru prima dată când România ajunge la acest nivel al performanței gastronomice, alături de cele mai respectate națiuni culinare ale lumii, prin eforturile și viziunea Asociației Naționale a Bucătarilor și Cofetarilor din Turism (ANBCT), singura organizație recunoscută oficial de echipa SIRHA/ Bocuse d'Or. Procesul de selecție și de acceptare a unei țări invitate este extrem de riguros, evaluând în primul rând capacitatea organizației gazdă de a gestiona și pregăti o competiție de o asemenea anvergură. Tema aleasă pentru competiția națională și europeană Bocuse d'Or Europe, „Tradiția reinterpretată”, practic o provocare pentru candidati să îmbine trecutul cu viitorul gastronomic local, totul cu accent pe sustenabilitate, responsabilitate în bucătărie și promovarea produselor autohtone. Fiecare echipă participantă este formată dintr-un Chef, bucătar profesionist român, cu experiență demonstrată în competiții culinare, responsabil de concept și execuție; un Commis, tânăr bucătar născut după 24 ianuarie 2004, reprezentant al noii generații; și un Antrenor (Coach), profesionist cu rol de coordonare strategică și comunicare cu juriul, fără implicare directă în gătit. Toate cele trei roluri sunt obligatorii și rămân neschimbate pe tot parcursul competiției, de la etapa națională până la cea europeană, inclusiv și mondială.

Certurile și împăcările sunt parte naturală a oricărei relații de cuplu. Conflictul nu este ceva neapărat negativ, este sănătos și necesar. Însă, când apare conflictul, un partener vrea conexiune, în timp ce altul vrea distanță, unul vrea să vorbească, celălat se închide și mai tare. Cum să ne certăm constructiv și cum să ne împăcăm în cuplu, am aflat de la Bianca Pescaru, psiholog clinician și psihoterapeut cognitv comportamental, invitata emisiunii Sănătatea FM. "Conflictul face parte din viață, conflictul nu este ceva neapărat negativ. Și asta, în pofida convingerii pe care mulți oameni o au, care cred că conflictul este ceva negativ și ceva distructiv. Însă conflictul la nivel de verbalizare, de comunicare, fără agresivitate verbală, fără agresivitate fizică, debate-ul de opinii și de perspective este un lucru care face parte din viață. Este un lucru firesc, pentru că se întâlnesc două perspective.", spune Bianca Pescaru,  psiholog clinician, psihoterapeut cognitv comportamental, cu multiple specializări și formări în CBT, Schema Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Analiză tranzacțională și Coaching sistemic. Este absolut sănătos și necesar să existe conflicte în cuplu, deoarece sunt o oportunitate de creștere pentru noi ca ființe umane dar și pentru cuplu.  Bianca Pescaru explică de ce:  "Dacă noi n-am avea conflicte, n-am afla cum se simte celălalt, cum gândește celălalt, care este realitatea sa, cum se văd lucrurile din papucii săi, așa cum spunem noi.  Și atunci aceste diferențe de opinie sau aceste verbalizări, care fac parte din cadrul unui conflict, ne ajută să îl înțelegem pe celălalt, îl ajută și pe celălalt să ne înțeleagă pe noi și în felul acesta cuplul crește, prin  aceste conflicte noi. Noi ne repliem în urma conflictelor și mergem la următorul nivel.".   În timpul unui conflict, ar fi util să evităm negativitatea sub orice formă, să nu aducem injurii, să nu aducem jigniri, să nu etichetăm persoana cealaltă, explică Bianca Pescaru.  "De la "ești un prost, un tâmpit", tot felul de etichetări de genul ăsta, "din cauza ta, din vina ta, datorită ție, pentru că tu ai făcut sau n-ai făcut". Deci aruncarea cumva a responsabilității doar în cârca celuilalt, arătatul cu degetul și jignirile și etichetările sub diverse diverse forme. În cadrul unui conflict, din păcate, se activează, așa cum spuneam, părțile astea imature din interiorul partenerilor și atunci ajung să se certe copilul furios din interiorul unuia cu copilul furios din interiorul celuilalt. Și într-o luptă, fiecare începe să atace. Ce facem? În general, încercăm să atacăm, încercăm să ne apărăm prin forma aceasta de atac și de luptă. Lucruri care evident că nu ajută și escaladează și mai mult conflictul și îl fac pe celălalt să se enerveze, poate și mai tare, sau să se retragă sau să fugă din situația respectivă,  să intre în acea evitare de care povesteam, și asta duce la foarte multă suferință pentru pentru ambii parteneri.", mai spune psihologul. Potrivit acesteia, fiecare persoană are un stil de atașament care determină determină modul în care reacționezăm.  În general, ne caracterizează foarte mult modul în care noi relaționăm și modul în care ne comportăm. Și, evident, tot acest stil de atașament ne conduce foarte mult și reacțiile în cadrul unui conflict sau post-conflict.  Există trei stiluri de atașament. Explică Bianca Pescaru:  1. Stilul de atașament anxios- oamenii care au acest stil de atașament sunt persoanele care într-adevăr sunt mai comunicative, sunt mai vorbărețe și care, în cadrul unui conflict sau post-conflict, simt nevoia de de ventilare, simt nevoia să vorbească. Anxietatea din interior nu-i face să poată să stea liniștiți, nu-și gestionează bine propriul tumult emoțional. Și atunci acest coping de a vorbi despre..., îi ajută foarte mult să se liniștească. 2. Stilul de atașament evitant- persoanele care au acest stil de atașament sunt persoanele care de obicei sunt mai introverte, necomunicative, care vorbesc mai puțin, care evită foarte mult confruntarea, evită foarte mult comunicarea și mai ales în cadrul conflictului sau post-conflict sunt persoanele care se retrag, simt nevoia să se retragă, simt nevoia să fugă de interacțiunea cu celălalt, fug de propriile emoții, se duc în tot felul de ieșiri, de activități care să îi țină departe de a intra în contact cu acest tumult emoțional. 3. Stilul de atașament securizant- pe care foarte puține persoane, ca și număr, îl au într-un mod natural, așa, din parcursul lor prin viață, să zic. Studiile ne arată că majoritatea oamenilor, tocmai datorită acestui istoric de viață, au stiluri de atașament anxios sau evitant . În schimb, foarte multe persoane care merg în terapie și care fac un proces terapeutic complet ajung să își dezvolte și să schimbe acest stil de atașament într-unul securizant, care este modul de comportament adult din punct de vedere psihologic, de comunicare, de gândire, de a simți și de a se comporta.", mai spune psihoterapeutul Bianca Pescaru, care continuă:  "În istoria noastră de copii, cu toții am avut povești care n-au fost neapărat ceea ce ar fi trebuit să fie. Cu toții am suferit când am fost copii, am fost răniți în acel mediu în care am trăit, am trăit niște evenimente adverse și lucrurile acestea și-au pus amprenta într-un mod definitoriu asupra noastră ca ființe umane. Și, în funcție de istoriile de viață pe care noi le-am trăit, fiecare dintre noi am proiectat în psihicul nostru un IMAGO, spunem noi, specialiștii, adică un șablon al familiarului pentru creierul nostru. Și fiecare dintre noi avem acest IMAGO vis-a-vis de un partener. Ce căutăm noi la un partener de cuplu și când ajungem să ne îndrăgostim, practic, noi găsim acest IMAGO, găsim în partenerul nostru acest șablon care conține, evident, foarte multe informații, majoritatea sunt în mintea noastră inconștientă. Și, ce se întâmplă în relațiile de cuplu în general, asta este lucrul care se întâmplă cel mai adesea într-un mod inconștient, evident, proiectăm în partenerul nostru lucrurile neîmplinite, nevoile neîmplinite pe care le-am avut în istoria noastră de copii, deci așteptările. Avem niște așteptări, evident nerealiste. Și avem aceste așteptări ca partenerul nostru să fie părintele ideal pe care nu l-am avut în propria noastră copilărie.", explică psiholog Bianca Pescaru.  Partenerul nostru nu este părintele nostru, punctează psihologul. "Deci noi, în mod sănătos, suntem niște adulți care ar trebui să știm să avem grijă de propriile noastre nevoi, în primul rând noi, și apoi să avem niște pretenții de la partenerul nostru. Însă, adesea, relaționăm în relația de cuplu cu părțile imature din ființa noastră. Noi avem mai multe subidentități, avem părțile astea de copil interior, părțile copilului care am fost cândva. Și atunci, ne simțim într-un mod familiar, așa cum ne-am simțit în copilărie, în anumite momente, la anumite triggere,  la anumite situații și, evident, începe această dinamică care este nesănătoasă și imatură. Pe de altă parte, partenerul nostru de cuplu este și el o persoană care nu este o persoană perfectă, este o persoană care are propriile istorii de viață și propriile răni, propriile umbre, așa cum spunem noi în psihologie, drept urmare, nu poate să ne satisfacă tot timpul dorințele. În cadrul cuplului"., mai spune Bianca Pescaru.

SHOW 11-3-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1895 TRINIDAD THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT VENEZUELA. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Middle East Disorder, Gaza Ceasefire, and Lessons from War Reporting. Bill Roggio and Husain Haqqani address the persistent disorder in the Middle East, noting that the Gaza ceasefire ("hudna") is only a pause. Ambassador Haqqani critiques the flawed concept of pursuing a "war to end all wars," suggesting the world is a situation to endure, not solve permanently. Bill Roggio compares the current stabilization efforts to the failed attempts in Afghanistan following the Taliban's ouster, noting that key players like Hamas remain undefeated or unwilling to disarm. Both experts stress the difficulty of verifying initial reports of mass violence, urging patience and skepticism regarding premature assumptions about perpetrators or motivations. 915-930 Middle East Disorder, Gaza Ceasefire, and Lessons from War Reporting.

Both experts stress the difficulty of verifying initial reports of mass violence, urging patience and skepticism regarding premature assumptions about perpetrators or motivations. 930-945 Post-Ceasefire Gaza Hostages and Hezbollah Regeneration in Lebanon. David Daoud and Bill Roggio discuss how following the Gaza ceasefire, the process of returning remains of slain hostages remains delayed, which Daoud suggests Hamas uses as leverage to prevent Israel from resuming conflict and entrenching a "post-war mentality." Experts note that Hezbollah is actively regenerating its military capabilities in Lebanon, bypassing disarmament efforts. Despite continuous, targeted Israeli strikes against Hezbollah personnel, there is minimal international condemnation because the organization maintains overwhelming Shiite support and the Lebanese government fails to enforce disarmament. Plans for an international security force in Gaza remain vague. 945-1000 Post-Ceasefire Gaza Hostages and Hezbollah Regeneration in Lebanon.

Malcolm Hoenlein discusses the New York City mayoral election, focusing on the populist rise of candidate Zelldin Maamoun, whose anti-Israel stance and lack of economic knowledge threaten the city's large Israeli-founded tech sector. He reveals that a World Health Organization official admitted that promoting "famine" in Gaza was a deliberate communications and political pressure strategy, despite adequate food supply. Hoenlein confirms that Hezbollah is rearming and refashioning ordnance in Lebanon, forcing Israel's hand. University leaders have begun acknowledging that campus unrest was largely foreign-driven, specifically citing Iran. Indonesia is noted as a potential key player in future Abraham Accords. 1015-1030 NYC Election, Famine Propaganda, and Foreign Influence on Campus.

Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa discuss the unprecedented US military buildup at the former Roosevelt Roads Naval Base in Puerto Rico, interpreted as preparations for action against Venezuela. Peña Esclusa clarifies that the true Venezuelan opposition, led by María Corina Machado (who won 93% of the primary vote), supports US action against the Maduro drug cartel. Araújo asserts that this is viewed regionally as a "crusade against organized crime," not an invasion, and would be welcomed by people tired of instability. This credible threat is already pressuring Venezuelan military officials to negotiate Maduro's exiIT. 1045-1100 US Military Buildup Near Venezuela and Opposition Support for Action.

This credible threat is already pressuring Venezuelan military officials to negotiate Maduro's exiIT.THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Russia's New Glide Bombs and Ukraine's Battlefield Crisis at Kurakhove. John Hardie and Bill Roggio discuss how Russia has introduced new, longer-range guided glide bombs (like the UMPK and Grom-E1) that utilize cheap kits or purpose-built designs, offering a cost-effective, more survivable standoff weapon to attack critical infrastructure deep inside Ukraine. Meanwhile, the situation in the key logistics hub of Kurakhove is deteriorating, with Russian infantry infiltrating the city, disrupting crucial drone and mortar positions, and threatening to encircle remaining Ukrainian forces. Russia continues to maintain maximalist peace demands, including a ban on Ukraine joining NATO and demilitarization, resulting in the cancellation of proposed peace talks. 1115-1130 Russia's New Glide Bombs and Ukraine's Battlefield Crisis at Kurakhove.

Russia continues to maintain maximalist peace demands, including a ban on Ukraine joining NATO and demilitarization, resulting in the cancellation of proposed peace talks. 1130-1145 Supreme Court, Trade Tariffs, and the Stagnant Order. Alan Tonelson discusses a Supreme Court case challenging the president's tariff powers (the "Liberation Day tariffs"), which he expects the administration to win. Tonelson cites historical deference to presidential foreign policy power and the president's authority to use other well-established tariffing measures, calling arguments against his powers "legally ignorant." The conversation also explores Michael Beckley's theory of a "stagnant order" among superpowers, leading them to act parasitically or defensively. Tonelson disagrees with the stagnation premise for the US, anticipating a major productivity boom thanks to artificial intelligence. 1145-1200 Supreme Court, Trade Tariffs, and the Stagnant Order.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 AI Revolution, Cloud Growth, and the Virtual Cell. Brandon Weichert reports on how AI is driving massive growth in cloud computing, exemplified by Amazon's surging shares and AWS growth, reaching paces "we haven't seen since 2022." Weichert dismisses fears of an "AI crash" as fear-mongering rooted in ignorance and past market bubbles, arguing that AI is sparking new sectors and enhancing productivity across industries. He details the cutting-edge application of AI in creating a "virtual cell"—computer models that simulate cell functions to speed up drug discovery, understand disease mechanisms, and inform scientific investigation. 1215-1230 Iran's Contradictory Nuclear Signals and Proxy Support. Jonathan Schanzer and Bill Roggio discuss how Iran is sending contradictory messages regarding its nuclear enrichment program and negotiations, with President Pezeshkian ("the dove") threatening to restart enrichment. Schanzer explains that "reformists" like Pezeshkian serve as a calculated front to signal openness while building leverage for future talks. Iran appears willing to risk future strikes, believing it can absorb them. However, Iran's ability to significantly rebuild its air defenses is complicated by the risk of UN snapback sanctions potentially deterring Russia and China from supplying advanced systems. Sanctions relief remains a key factor in Iran's proxy support. 1230-1245 UNIFIL's Failure, Hezbollah's Rebuilding, and Syria's Fragmented Future. Edmund Fitton-Brown, Ahmad Sharawi, and Bill Roggio label the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) a "spectacular failure" that allowed Hezbollah's military buildup near the Israeli border. Despite the ceasefire terms requiring demilitarization south of the Litani River, the Lebanese government is stalling. Hezbollah is actively rebuilding its infrastructure, forcing Israel to conduct targeted enforcement actions. They also discuss Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, who is seeking international legitimacy, sanctions relief, and partners to counter ISIS, even as his state remains domestically fragmented by regional demands for separation or autonomy. 1245-100 AM UNIFIL's Failure, Hezbollah's Rebuilding, and Syria's Fragmented Future.

En ESTO NO TIENE NOMBRE, analizamos la detención de Alexander Ramón Peña Henríquez tras un video viral donde ofrece dinero por una menor de edad. Conversamos con el abogado Waldo Paulino sobre el delito cometido, incluso sin la existencia de una víctima física.

El chileno Carlos Peña, abogado, filósofo, sociólogo, docente y escritor, se ha convertido en una de las voces intelectuales más destacadas de su país. Cada semana analiza con independencia la actualidad con su columna en la prensa mientras que en sus libros propone reflexiones sobre política, economía, filosofía o procesos sociales. Su último trabajo se titula “Humanidades. Lo visible y lo invisible”. En ese texto, que acaba de publicarse en octubre, Peña “defiende la relevancia de las Humanidades en un entorno donde la información es abundante pero la reflexión escasea.” ¿Qué lugar tienen hoy estas reflexiones en el contexto político de América Latina? ¿Pueden transformarse estas amenazas al pensamiento en un peligro para la democracia?

Anthony Saccaro compares the 2001 bubble to now, looking at P/E ratios, capex spending, and borrowing. He thinks investors should respond to these conditions based on their age and goals, with people close to retirement pulling chips off the table and people with longer-term horizons staying in tech. He thinks it's “amazing” that the Fed cut rates and explains why he doesn't think they needed to cut at all. Anthony also expects the real estate market to become busier in the near future.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Send us a textIn this week's episode, we get into the Fed's 25 basis point rate cut, Powell's chaotic press conference before diving into Meta's creative data center financing which is a lesson on project financing and lease accounting, and finally the growing blur between public and private credit. The Fed's October meeting delivered the expected 25 bps cut but Powell's tone afterward left markets rattled. While announcing a pause in quantitative tightening, he hinted that December isn't a done deal, sparking confusion and volatility. Jen breaks down the mechanics behind QT, the Fed's balance sheet strategy, and why even subtle changes in how they handle T-bill reinvestments could ripple across the yield curve.Then we shift to earnings season and Meta's fascinating case study in project finance. Their $30 billion Hyperion data center project with Blue Owl blends corporate finance, lease accounting, and private credit innovation, raising questions about off-balance-sheet leverage, credit spreads, and who really wins in these structures. We wrap with thoughts on how every firm on Wall Street is morphing into everything else—private credit arms at hedge funds, PE firms doing lending, and why that might both dilute and amplify systemic risk. All that, plus Halloween costumes, pumpkin parades, and the realities of parenting in chaos. For 20% off Deleteme, use the code TWSS or click the link HERE!

In this episode, the founder of Practical Founders, Greg Head, shares the most powerful insights from over 165 podcast interviews and working with 40+ bootstrapped SaaS founders in his peer groups. Greg breaks down the common but less obvious traits he sees in practical founders who are quietly building valuable software companies without big VC funding. Greg shares how frugality and managed risk-taking coexist to create compounding steady growth, creating massive long-term value fpr practical founders. And independence and doing it your way are not just luxuries but real superpowers that fuel growth. These patterns have emerged across hundreds of founders he's worked with, representing over $10 billion in founder equity value created. For SaaS founders skeptical of VC templates and PE playbooks Greg shares what all practical founders do to grow from $1M to $10M ARR without betting it all. Are you wired like a Practical Founder? Key Takeaways Frugal yet bold – Practical founders are unusually frugal in life but make well-timed bold bets inside their companies. Managed risk – They avoid betting the whole company, instead making small bets that can compound into larger wins. Compounding focus – Long-term, steady 20–30% growth creates exponential outcomes in SaaS over 10–15 years. Independence premium – Protecting their ability to do it their way is treated as a strategic advantage. Optionality matters – Practical founders value flexibility to sell, go long, or change direction without outside control. This Interview Is Perfect For Founders building SaaS without VC funding CEOs who value control and sustainable growth Entrepreneurs exploring long-term leverage vs. quick wins Anyone who wants to understand the practical founder mindset Quote from Greg Head, founder of Practical Founders "The simple math of a $1 million ARR recurring revenue business that grows at 30% a year, will become very valuable if it keeps growing. ? Not crazy growth, a reasonable pace. This is the fundamental principle of recurring revenue businesses, that it's a compounding machine.  "If you grow at 30% for nine years, you'll have a $10 million business. And if you do that for another nine years, you will have a $100 million business. That's probably worth a billion dollars by that time. That sounds simple and not everybody gets there, of course, but practical founders think in this way. Steady, healthy compounding.  "We know that in the long run, the 10 years, the 20 years, compounding makes the difference. It's a healthier approach. We actually like this approach, generally speaking. We understand the math and yes, we're doing it. Most people don't really sign up for this kind of thing."

Michael Assraf is building Flamingo, an open-source and AI-powered operating system for managed service providers. After exiting Vicarious in May 2024, he spent seven months on market research before writing a single line of code—conducting 15+ MSP interviews, mapping their complete tool stack economics, and testing distribution channels with a free community product. The research revealed a structural margin crisis: MSPs operate on 10-15% margins with 30% of revenue flowing to vendor payouts and 25-30% to technician labor. Meanwhile, private equity consolidation drives customer pricing down while legacy vendors raise prices. Michael closed a $2.2 million pre-seed in February 2025, built OpenMSP as a lead-gen vehicle that generated 1,000+ waitlist signups, and launched Open Frame with 70% of capital still in the bank. In this launch-day conversation, he breaks down why the $380 billion MSP market remains massively underinvested, how Facebook ads outperformed LinkedIn 5:1, and why he's giving away the core product while charging for hosted deployment. Topics Discussed: The seven-month research phase: 15+ MSP interviews, mapping 19 tool categories with pricing data, evaluating open source project maturity through commit frequency and VC backing MSP margin compression mechanics: 30% vendor payouts, 25-30% labor costs, 10-15% net margins being crushed by PE-driven consolidation and vendor price increases Building OpenMSP as distribution validation: four months before alpha, generated 1,000 waitlist signups and 200 Slack members while testing paid acquisition channels Why Facebook delivered 40%+ of leads at $6-8 CPL while outbound completely failed with IT-busy MSPs aged 25-50 in central US markets Launching with 70% of $2.2M pre-seed still in bank by solving for distribution and product-market fit before scaling headcount Open Frame's architecture: unified control plane over open source tools (RMM, SSO, zero trust) with dual AI agents—one for end users, one for technicians Offering both self-hosted (free, GitHub) and commercial SaaS (per-seat pricing starting January 2026) to build trust in an underserved market The MSP category opportunity: $380B market, 12% annual growth, 30-40K US MSPs, minimal VC-backed innovation against 20-year-old incumbents GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Build lead-gen infrastructure before you have a product to sell: Four months before launching Open Frame, Michael shipped OpenMSP—a free tool that analyzes MSP tech stacks and suggests open source replacements. It wasn't a waitlist landing page; it delivered standalone value while capturing intent data. This generated 1,000 qualified signups and 200 Slack community members while simultaneously validating paid acquisition channels. By launch, he knew Facebook cost $6-8 per lead while outbound failed completely. Most founders build product first, then scramble for distribution. Michael inverted the sequence. Fire fast on sales hires in early stage, or don't hire them at all: Michael fired three VP Sales at Vicarious before learning the lesson: "The moment to bring salespeople is not when you are able to sell your product, is when someone else is able to sell your product." The critical test isn't whether the founder can close deals—founders sell vision and relationship. The test is whether a marketing person, SDR, or non-sales hire can generate revenue. Only then do salespeople accelerate an already-working motion. Hiring VP Sales at $50K ARR because the board wants "someone to own revenue" burns 12+ months and $200K+ learning this. Spend 6-12 months researching before building in unfamiliar markets: Michael conducted 15+ MSP interviews, mapped all 19 tool categories they use with pricing, evaluated open source alternatives by analyzing GitHub commit frequency and pull requests, identified which projects had VC backing for long-term viability, and tested multiple marketing channels before alpha deployment. This allowed him to launch with product-market fit indicators already validated and 70% of his $2.2M still in the bank. The alternative—build fast, iterate with customers—works when you deeply understand the market. When you don't, research is cheaper than pivots. Target categories where lack of innovation creates adoption momentum: MSPs represent 30-40K companies in the US alone, part of a $380B global market growing 12% annually. Yet VCs historically avoided the space assuming low ACV and high churn. The dominant platforms—ConnectWise, Datto, Asea—have existed 20+ years with minimal AI adoption or architectural modernization. Michael specifically chose MSPs because "in cyber security you would never get traction that we're getting right now unless you're spending millions of dollars." In crowded categories, distribution cost kills you. In starved categories, any credible innovation gets attention. Architect your product so adoption mechanically improves customer unit economics: Open Frame attacks both sides of MSP margin compression simultaneously. The open source tool suite eliminates the 30% of revenue paid to commercial vendors. The dual AI agent system (end-user self-service + technician orchestration) reduces the 25-30% spent on labor. Michael didn't find a problem and then figure out monetization—he reverse-engineered a solution where product adoption directly expands customer margins. When your product makes customers structurally more profitable, adoption isn't a marketing problem. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.
