DR1THINGS WE MISSEDNERDY ESG STUFFL3Harris ousts CEO after investigation into conduct CARESL3Harris Technologies, the company that overhauled a Qatari plane now used as Air Force One, has replaced Christopher Kubasik as chairman and chief executive after an investigation determined he violated the defense contractor's code of conduct.Kubasik's alleged conduct didn't involve and has no impact on the Melbourne, Fla., company's financial reporting, controls, customer relationships or operational performance, L3Harris said Monday.The company didn't give details on when it received a report of the potential violation. With the aid of independent counsel, the board determined that Kubasik's removal would be in the company's best interest, L3Harris said. He will be allowed to retain and exercise some previously vested stock options but won't receive severance payments, benefits or accelerated stock-based awards.L3Harris Technologies Appoints Sam Mehta, Proven Aerospace and Defense Executive, as President and Chief Executive Officer“The Board determined that the Executive engaged in conduct that was not consistent with the values of the Company as outlined in its Code of Conduct.”Kubasik will still hold onto some of his options that can net him stock worth about $23 million, as well as more than 200,000 shares of stock in L3Harris that he already owns, valued at nearly $57 million. L3Harris has paid Kubasik compensation valued at $66.3 million during the past three years, including $25.6 million in fiscal 2025.The separation disclosure says the L3Harris board decided to reach a deal with Kubasik to get him to leave rather than trying to fire him for cause. Kubasik did not admit to any violation of the company code of conduct, and the deal expressively forbids any of the parties or their representatives from making public statements “inconsistent” with Monday's disclosure.Harvard reveals $2.2 billion SpaceX holding worth more than half its U.S. equity portfolio CARESBusting CEO Pay Curve in 2025, Musk Made Annual Salary of Average Tesla Worker Every 4.2 SecondsS&P 500 CEO pay jumps to record as Musk-inspired compensation plans spread: average S&P 500 CEO pay reached $340.1 millionUS SEC to keep hands off shareholder proposals, worrying activists CARESStaying Alive: ISS Continues Its Influence on 2026 Voting OutcomesISS recommended against fewer say-on-pay proposals than last year: 8.3% versus 9.2% in 2025.ISS supported fewer E&S proposals than in prior years, but investor votes more strongly tracked its recommendations.

I get an extra hour. You know what I do with it? I put it into that.”The executive then dug his heels even further, personally insulting the staffer for asking about work-life balance: “Go to your parents and ask them: hey, like every time I get a chance to talk to my boss, ask me if I can have more days off.

Ari Paparo and Eric Franchi sit down with Matthew Drengler, Head of Partnerships at Podscribe, to unpack the messy reality of podcast measurement. They explore attribution, incrementality, the shift from audio to video, social clips, HLS, and why advertisers still need reliable performance data.The conversation then turns to the changing ad tech landscape, including the open web, Nielsen's acquisition of DoubleVerify, measurement industry pressure, The Trade Desk's earnings, PubMatic, Viant, and advertising to AI agents. Takeaways: Video is expanding podcast audiences, but it is also creating new measurement silos across YouTube, Spotify, Apple, and other platforms. Podcast attribution can use RSS prefixes, pixels, and listener-level signals, but those approaches become harder as consumption spreads beyond traditional RSS. Promo codes and vanity URLs capture only part of podcast-driven conversions, making more sophisticated attribution important for performance advertisers. Measurement can unlock more advertiser investment, while independent measurement and trust remain major industry concerns. Ad tech is shifting toward CTV, retail media, apps, creator channels, and AI while traditional open-web and measurement businesses face increasing pressure.

This time they gave it some shape: four categories, all starting with F — fun, fashion, feel good, and forensics.Inside: a TikTok dance so hard Andrea can't get through it in her garage, a Keds mystery nobody will take credit for, the exact line that might change how you get dressed tomorrow, frictionless home organization systems, and the shopping-app scandal they can't stop talking about.In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(02:21) The four categories: fun, fashion, feeling good, forensics(04:58) For fun: the Puerto Rico dance trend that's harder than it looks(08:27) For fun: bringing back magazine subscriptions(13:59) For fashion: the pull-on pants midsummer check-in (and how to manage the wrinkles)(17:40) For fashion: the great Keds mystery — and are Keds actually making a comeback?(24:11) Dolce Vita sale sandals, personal style, and why saving your "good" clothes for later doesn't work(31:26) Dress for the day you wanna have(32:14) For feeling good: frictionless home organization and direct storage(41:06) For forensics: the TikToker who quit breastfeeding — and why neither host thinks she needs to apologize(48:37) For forensics: the Phia scandal — cookie stuffing, and affiliate fraud(55:27) What Lauren and Andrea are each figuring out this weekKEY TAKEAWAYNot everything comes down to having a five-year plan, sometimes all it takes is a frictionless junk drawer, letting go of that “should” that never really made sense, or even wearing the good underwear on a random Tuesday!

The Ticking Time Bomb in Your Health Plan Fiduciary duty means acting in the plan's best interest, but many employers don't realize their company and their health plan are legally separate entities. Responsibility for claims rests with designated plan fiduciaries, not executives, brokers, or TPAs, a fact that often catches plan sponsors off guard. There are conflicting incentives among brokers, TPAs, and stop-loss carriers. This means no one is financially motivated to make tough claim decisions, leaving employers exposed. The solution is full transparency, clearly identify fiduciaries, document vendor selection processes, and cap incentive-based compensation to prevent abuse. Know who your fiduciaries are, have a repeatable process, and ensure all compensation models are defensible to avoid costly legal and financial fallout.

How much can we actually trust AI to stay inside the lines? Nitasha Tiku (The Washington Post) on the OpenAI models that went rogue — and why this isn't necessarily a sign of the end times… just sloppy security. Reed Albergotti (Semafor) on the company that wants to help anyone make software to power robots. Do we even have to talk about what that means for the future of human labor? Finally, Taylor Lorenz (User Mag) on Phoebe Gates' AI shopping startup Phia. Is it too early to call it nepo slop?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lauren is joined by Puck's very own Malique Morris to run through a full slate of fashion headlines: the Spanx sell-off, the “cookie stuffing” scandal engulfing Phia, Victoria Beckham Beauty's leap past $100 million in revenue, Reformation's $1 billion I.P.O., and plenty more.

To listen to this and other bonus episodes, buy a paid subscription to my newsletter at https://www.usermag.co or support my work on Patreon: http://patreon.com/taylorlorenz.Affiliate marketing is one of the biggest industries on the internet, and according to researcher Ben Edelman, one of Silicon Valley's hottest AI startups may have been abusing it.In this bonus episode of Power User I sat down with Edelman to break down what's happening with Phia, the shopping startup co-founded by Phoebe Gates that has raised over $43 million from famed Silicon Valley investors like Kleiner Perkins Sheryl Sandberg, along with a slew of celebrities including Sydney Sweeney, Khloe Kardashian and Hailey Bieber. We break down allegations that Phia's browser extension secretly inserted affiliate tracking codes, how this compares to the Honey controversy, why retailers could have lost millions, and what this means for the future of AI-powered shopping.

This week, the AI clown car somehow shifted into another gear. Apple is suing OpenAI over alleged trade-secret theft, newspapers accuse ChatGPT of training on stolen journalism while asking a judge to sanction the company, Anthropic is out here marketing AI with what looks like a feature-length anxiety attack, and Meta managed to launch—and kill—a creepy AI photo feature in less time than it takes to binge The Bear. Meanwhile, AI Appreciation Day wants you to thank the machines, but we'd rather thank the people still creating actual art while the rest of Silicon Valley burns cash convincing us the next chatbot is definitely different this time.Outside the AI bubble, the rest of the tech industry isn't exactly inspiring confidence. Volkswagen is cutting back on its lineup, New York paused new AI data centers before the electrical grid hits its limit, Europe and the UK are getting serious about keeping kids off social media, and publishers are finally realizing maybe feeding Google's AI isn't the best business move after all. Add in surveillance companies sulking over lost police contracts, lawsuits claiming Meta let algorithms decide who gets fired, smart glasses disqualifying cyclists, and a new pile of orbital junk threatening the satellites we depend on, and it's another reminder that "move fast and break things" eventually leaves you ankle-deep in broken glass.Of course, we still made time for the important stuff: Project Hail Mary, Black Bag, the return of Middle-earth with The Hunt for Gollum and rumors that OpenAI's "revolutionary” gadget might just be a smart speaker with delusions of grandeur. Throw in digital piano repairs, anti-data-center lawn signs, AI trying to sell solar panels, too much stuff at Downtown Disney, and you get another week where reality out-satirizes satire itself. As always, never build your house in someone else's backyard, and maybe don't let the chatbot build it either.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

This week on Healing is Hilarious, Rachel explores a surprising pattern hiding beneath the week's biggest headlines: what if culture doesn't change through one massive revolution, but through a thousand tiny no's?From Meta reversing course after public backlash to the EU challenging addictive social media design, an Emmy nomination for a creator-led show, questions of trust in the AI startup world, and the internet's obsession with explaining celebrity breakups, this week's stories all point to the same idea:Power is shifting.Not because someone at the top decided to change the rules - but because ordinary people are starting to push back, set boundaries, demand trust, and stop waiting for permission.Because sometimes the headline isn't the story. Sometimes it's a mirror.In this episode:Why Meta's reversal says more about us than it does about MetaWhat the EU's fight against infinite scroll reveals about our attentionWhy Subway Takes' Emmy nomination marks a turning point for new mediaWhat the Phia controversy teaches us about trust in the age of AIWhy we rush to diagnose celebrity relationships - and what that says about usCulture doesn't usually change because someone powerful says yes. It changes because enough ordinary people finally say no.

Affiliate fraud investigator Ben Edelman joins Tye for an emergency episode breaking down the "Phia fiasco" that's rattling the affiliate marketing industry. Edelman, who's spent over 20 years catching affiliate fraud and has collaborated with Tye on forensic cases throughout his career, walks through what makes this case different from the usual stand-down violations that have hit shopping plugins like Honey and Microsoft Edge in the past.

-According to multiple reports, the AI-powered shopping plugin Phia used a tactic known as cookie stuffing to attach its affiliate code to sales it didn't actually drive. -Across Europe, kids now spend four to six hours per day on social media, and almost 60 percent of them had experienced "socio-emotional development and susceptibility to mental health issues. -While we can acknowledge the impact that AI has made on society and industries so far, shouldn't we embrace the human experience instead of celebrating this AI slop of an excuse for a special day?

Phia, the shopping startup founded by Bill Gates' daughter, Phoebe, and her friend, Sophia Kianni, is under fire for a practice known as “cookie stuffing,” which helped the product receive commissions and credit for sales it did not actually generate, per a Bloomberg investigation. Also, Lyzr, a startup that builds AI agents for enterprises, used its own AI agent to raise a $100 million round — proof, evidently, that the product actually works. Plus, the new startup raised $300 million co-led by ARCH Venture Partners, Spark Capital, and Khosla Ventures. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Good Intentions, Unintended Consequences The No Surprises Act backfired, while it successfully eliminated surprise patient bills, Practices and Systems now game the Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) process to get paid more than the original charges, sometimes double. The good news for patients, not so much as these costs are shifting to premiums, health plans are paying dramatically more, with claims over $1 million nearly doubling and industry arbitration win rates dropping below 10%. Hotspots of abuse exist, Nevada leads, and in Tennessee just 147 practices filed 36,000 disputes. Private equity-owned practices leading the way in turning arbitration into a business strategy. In an extension of the "No Surprises" we don't expect Congress to fix it. Medical facilities are often the largest employers in representatives' districts, creating a powerful conflict of interest. Solution include aggressive negotiation. Winning requires disciplined people-driven approaches during the 30-day negotiation window, identifying ineligible claims, and calling out bad actors.

Het WK voetbal is losgebarsten. Bij Athvance Capital weten ze als geen ander hoe je van sport een echte beleving maakt, met entertainment, digitalisering en interactie met fans.Deze aflevering in het kort:☑️ Hoe Athvance Capital van sport entertainment maakt☑️ Waarom deze investeerders kleinere voetbalclubs koopt☑️ Zo werkt het AI-shoppingplatform van Phia.Het bedrijf bouwt aan een Europees sportimperium met twee duidelijke pijlers, vertelt managing director Danny Menken. Zo ontwikkelt het eigen sport-IP, met nieuwe competities, formats en mediaplatforms rond snelgroeiende sporten als padel en beachvolleybal. Dit gaat om initiatieven als Queen & King of the Court en Padel Copa. Hier wordt sport gecombineerd met entertainment: kortere wedstrijden, snelle puntentellingen, spectaculaire locaties en veel interactie met fans. Die combinatie moet zorgen voor een aantrekkelijker format voor zowel publiek als streamingplatforms. Daarmee mikt Athvance Capital nadrukkelijk op een nieuwe generatie sportfans.

Send us Fan MailSophia Kianni is the co-founder and CEO of Phia, an AI shopping agent with more than 1.4 million users that has raised over $43 million from an investor list that includes Kris Jenner, Sara Blakely, and Hailey Bieber. Sophia and her co-founder built the company out of their Stanford dorm room on a single thesis: in the future, every consumer will have a personal AI shopping assistant.Sophia is also the co-host of The Burnouts, a podcast with more than 600,000 followers and over 200 million downloads. Earlier in her career, she founded Climate Cardinals, the world's largest youth-led climate nonprofit with more than 20,000 volunteers, and became the youngest United Nations advisor in U.S. history.In this episode, Sophia draws on her experience building high-velocity ventures before the age of 25 to challenge how founders think about feedback, team culture, content creation, experimentation, and workflow efficiency. She also makes a compelling argument for how AI should be used at work: removing friction from the parts of a workflow that drain time and energy without adding value.In this conversation, we discuss:Why the intersection of social and shopping looked like a solved problem to most founders, and the gap that Sophia and her co-founder saw inside their Stanford dorm roomHow Sophia thinks about team building as company building, and the specific qualities she screens for before resumes, credentials, or experienceHow a consumer-first mindset and relentless customer feedback help Phia iterate faster and build a product users loveWhy building close to your user is still the most underrated advantage in AI, and what most founders miss when they try to scale it Why Phia and The Burnouts built data-oriented content engines that operate like scientific labs, testing hooks, fonts, retention curves, and B-roll as measurable variables rather than relying on creative instincts aloneHow Sophia uses AI tools like Adobe Firefly to increase workflow efficiency by removing friction from repetitive tasks, not to replace creative work, but to protect itThe framework Sophia uses to decide whose feedback shapes her decisions and whose she treats as noiseResourcesSubscribe to the AI & The Future of Work NewsletterConnect with Sophia on LinkedInLIVE EVENT: See how leading enterprises are using agentic AI to give employees back 4–6 productive hours every week.

The PBM Trap: How “Savings” Are Costing You a Fortune PBMs (pharmacy benefit managers) were created with good intentions but became broken middlemen incentivized to push higher-cost drugs. Securing a big discount on an expensive drug looks more impressive than low-cost alternatives. Unfortunately, the system encourages over-prescription. 90% of doctors have no idea what the drugs they prescribe will actually cost you, and direct-to-consumer advertising (allowed only in the US and New Zealand) drives patients to demand expensive brand-name drugs they saw on TV. The solution? Incentivize patients (again!). Independent audit teams can proactively offer generic alternatives, and 80% of the time, doctors agree. Patients receive recurring savings directly in their bank accounts. And for companies: Read your contracts, align incentives with employees, and don't accept the status quo. Healthcare may be weird, but we don't have to be passive victims of it. To stream our Station live 24/7 visit www.HealthcareNOWRadio.com or ask your Smart Device to “….Play Healthcare NOW Radio”.

Are you tired of the "lazy way" to cut healthcare costs—just increasing deductibles and co-pays? In this episode, we're talking to someone who calls that approach what it is: the definition of insanity. Host Ramesh Kumar welcomes Adam V. Russo, Esq.—co-founder and visionary of The Phia Group, LLC, an innovative cost containment leader and attorney who represents employers and plan fiduciaries across the U.S. Adam is here to break down the secrets of delivering a great healthcare experience on a self-funded plan. You'll learn: • Why Direct Primary Care (DPC) is being called the "best" plan design choice for both employee retention and health, with studies showing a 13% reduction in overall claim spend in the first year. • How Adam's company, a successful self-funded employer, leveraged DPC to personally circumvent a $6,000 to $10,000 ER bill for just $80 a month. • The critical need for a complete employee mindset shift and a five-year education plan to truly win at cost management. Don't miss this powerful conversation on why increasing cost-sharing measures has failed, and how DPC offers a path to long-term success. Tune in now!

Limited Six Part Series: Straight Talk, Better Benefits with The Phia Group Join Dr. Nick and Adam Russo, CEO of The Phia Group for Part 1: Mobilize the Workforce. Adam Russo's personal mission began as a first-generation American determined to fight waste and fraud in healthcare, growing his company from an $8,000 basement startup to serving over 20 million lives. Healthcare costs spiral because insurance removes price transparency; unlike TVs or LASIK, you can't easily comparison shop for a knee surgery. Despite healthcare as the second-largest business expense, most employers spend less than five hours a year innovating their plans or analyzing raw claims data. To cut costs, Phia pays employees 20% cash rewards for finding billing errors (one HR leader received $50,000), turning the workforce into vigilant consumers, this is awesome! In their company, they eliminated premiums, deductibles, and copays for employees, guess what, 99% employee retention rate. Phia created a sustainable model of retention and loyalty, proving that better healthcare for less is achievable.

It is time again for the fastest 20 minutes in podcasting as Cindy Merrell and Corey Crigger take over the Empowering Plans podcast to preview The Kentucky Derby. Don't worry, this podcast isn't solely about horse racing! Cindy and Corey also discuss two big news items that affect the healthcare industry – litigation surrounding Roundup and a major article in the New York Times about the No Surprises Act. Don't be left in the dust. Tune in to hear their insights into healthcare and  horse racing prognostication! 

Surprise billing for patients is largely gone, so why are so many self-funded employer health plans still getting hammered by out-of-network costs? We sit down with Scott Bennett, Chief Provider Relations Officer at the PHIA Group, to unpack what the No Surprises Act is doing in the real world and why federal arbitration is starting to look less like a safety valve and more like a payment engine.Scott walks us through the mechanics that matter: QPA as the median contracted rate, the short open negotiation window, and the IDR process where an arbitrator picks one of two numbers. Then we dig into the headline signals from PHIA's national NSA report analyzing more than 1.25 million federal IDR disputes across 23,000-plus providers. When offers land five to six times above QPA and initiating parties win around 80% of the time, it creates a powerful incentive to file early and file often. For employer-sponsored health plans, especially self-funded groups like school districts and public safety employers, that can translate into budget shocks, higher renewals, and rising stop-loss pressure even when members never see a bill.We also explore why a small cluster of providers can drive a disproportionate share of disputes, what hotspots in certain states may be telling us about market power and network penetration, and how brokers and benefits advisors can protect clients with better data, tighter timelines, and a real IDR strategy instead of a reactive scramble. If you advise plan sponsors, this is a must-listen on NSA compliance, healthcare cost containment, fiduciary responsibility, and the evolving economics of out-of-network reimbursement.If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a colleague, and leave a review so more plan sponsors and advisors can find the conversation. What IDR pattern are you seeing in your own claims data?

On this episode, host Adam Russo welcomes Alex Houle, Asst.VP, Provider Relations at The Phia Group. The discussion covers the differences between hospital and freestanding radiology centers, with examples of varying MRI costs and negotiated rates, while exploring how billing practices and reimbursement rates impact patient costs. Alex shares experiences in healthcare negotiations and predicts future trends in healthcare costs, emphasizing the need for greater transparency and potential AI solutions to help consumers navigate healthcare expenses.

This week, Adam Russo, co-founder and owner of The Phia Group, explains how his company helps employers reduce their healthcare expenses. The key, he says, is to educate and incentivize employees to be smarter about how they purchase health care—without compromising on the quality of the care. That, he says, is how he's able to offer employees who've been with Phia for five years care that is entirely free: no deductibles, no co-pays. Many of his clients are big companies that self-fund their health insurance, but he says even businesses with as few as two employees can find tremendous savings this way.

On this episode, host Adam Russo welcomes attorney Jen McCormick, Vice President of Consulting at The Phia Group. Jen discusses her career journey and insights on health insurance. They explore the evolution of health insurance plans, including the rise of AI in legal work and the implementation of Sophia, a chatbot tool used for research and client communication.

Each week, you'll hear from hardworking women who've walked the tightrope of ambition, like author Eve Rodsky, money and wealth expert Rachel Rodgers, Phia founders Phoebe Gates and Sophie Kianni, and businesswoman and former Barstool Sports CEO Erika Ayers Badan, with additional powerhouse guests to be revealed throughout the season. They'll share their costly mistakes, lessons learned, and practical tips for how to have it all and actually love what you have. Hosted by Amanda Goetz, a 2x founder, 4x CMO, mom of three, and author of the new book, Toxic Grit. New episodes drop every Tuesday. Premiering October 29. Learn more about your ad choices.

Phoebe Gates went from failed prototypes in her Stanford dorm room to building one of the fastest growing fashion-tech startups in the world. In this interview, the co-founder of AI shopping app Phia shares how she and her co-founder Sophia Kianni scaled from 200 early users to half a million downloads, raised $9M from investors like Kleiner Perkins, Kris Jenner, and Sara Blakely, and turned their vision into a personal AI shopping assistant trusted by a new generation of consumers. From building in public and hacking growth with feedback loops to pitching high-profile investors and navigating privilege, Phoebe breaks down the exact strategies that fueled her rapid rise as a young founder. What you'll learn from this interview: • How Phoebe went from 50+ failed ideas to finding product-market fit in fashion-tech • The grassroots tactics she used to get her first 200 users • Why feedback loops and “pizza nights” became their biggest growth hack • How she pitched and secured investors like Kleiner Perkins, Kris Jenner, and Sara Blakely • The mindset shift that helped her see failure as experimentation • Why building in public became an unfair advantage for distribution and community • How to leverage AI and automation as a young founder to scale faster By the end of this interview, you'll walk away with a playbook for finding your idea, validating it with real users, and scaling it into a fast-growth business—so you can apply the same principles to your own entrepreneurial journey.

When Phoebe Gates started her company, Phia, her parents – yes, those Mr. and Mrs. Gates – wished her good luck and didn't invest a penny. And while her last name lends it self to opportunities other people might not get. But instead of letting the nepo-baby convo overshadow her entrepreneurship, Phoebe shares why the pressure to live up to her family name actually is a positive thing. In this episode, Phoebe also shares: The values her parents instilled in her that have nothing to do with money or business Why she started a business with her roommate-turned-best-friend-turned- co-founder The most surprising founder skill she had to learn Her number one tip for speaking with confidence in business meetings Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode I sit down with Sophia Kianni to discuss Phia, the comparison-shopping platform she's building with her best friend, Phoebe Gates that helps Gen Z save money—think Google Flights for fashion. We dig into how she stays grounded despite nonstop media attention, the pressure of being in the spotlight, and her lifelong hustler mindset. Sophia also shares how she juggles dating while building the next $1B business.

At this very moment, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip who have managed to survive Israel's scorched-earth siege and bombing are being deliberately starved to death as a result of Israel's 11-week blockade preventing food and aid from entering Gaza. As Jem Bartholemew writes at The Guardian, “The UN's humanitarian chief, Tom Fletcher, told the BBC [Tuesday] morning that 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in 48 hours if aid did not reach them in time. Five aid trucks entered Gaza on Monday but Fletcher described this as a “drop in the ocean” and totally inadequate for the population's needs.” In response to this dire humanitarian crisis, students at multiple university campuses in the US have launched hunger strikes in solidarity with the starving people of Gaza. In this urgent episode, we speak with four hunger strikers at the University of Oregon (UO), including: Cole, Sadie, and Efron, three undergraduate students who are all members of Jewish Voice for Peace - UO and who just completed a 60-hour solidarity hunger strike; and Phia, a Palestinian-American undergraduate student who has organized with JVP-UO on the hunger strike and who currently remains on hunger strike herself.Additional links/info: UO Gaza Hunger Strike Instagram and TikTok UO Gaza Hunger Strike: Community Calls to Action!
