Swashbuckler Captain Morgan (1635–88) was born in Wales.

Sangeet Paul Choudhary is the bestselling co-author of Platform Revolution, founder of Platformation Labs, senior fellow at UC Berkeley, and author of Reshuffle, exploring how AI fundamentally reorganizes value creation architecture.Episode Sponsor: Fiscal AI is a modern data terminal that gives investors instant access to twenty years of financials, earnings transcripts, and extensive segment and KPI data—use my link for a two-week free trial plus 15% off: https://fiscal.ai/talkingbillions/3:00 - Sangeet describes growing up in an industrial town where everyone's father worked at the steel plant, creating a homogeneous, "straight-jacketed" environment. Digital technologies opened new career possibilities beyond this rigid path.5:45 - The Intelligence Distraction: Sangeet challenges the dominant narrative of AI benchmarked by intelligence metrics. "AI is not an alternative to human thought. It could be an alternative to human-performed knowledge work, but it's not an alternative to human thought."8:30 - The GPS metaphor: AI's real impact comes from reorganizing systems, not raw intelligence. Like GPS restructures traffic flow by coordinating unconnected drivers, AI reorganizes economic activity by creating shared representations of complex spaces.15:00 - Travel industry transformation: Dreaming on Instagram, planning on Google Flights, booking through fragmented systems. AI could create unified representations connecting desire to action seamlessly.28:00 - Piracy as market research: "Piracy is a form of market research showing unmet demand." When illegal activity fills gaps, it reveals where legitimate systems fail to serve users.35:00 - Platform economics: Network effects create winner-take-all dynamics. Once critical mass is achieved, platforms become nearly impossible to displace.42:00 - Solution vs. execution: Professional services charging for billing hours face commoditization. The future belongs to those charging for outcomes and results, not execution time.48:00 - Orica example: Mining explosives company stopped selling products, started selling blast outcomes. Shifted from commodity provider to results-aligned partner, capturing more value and developing superior expertise.52:00 - Don't need AI strategy, need strategy for AI world: "What is our strategy given the conditions that AI creates?" AI dissolves industry boundaries by making previously siloed knowledge accessible across sectors.54:30 - Value migration: Ask where value sat before, where it moves with AI, then position to capture that shifted value.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.

Recorded during a Drifter Trip to Los Locos, this episode features a late-night conversation with legendary guide Arno Matthee. We talk about milkfish, giant trevally, pirate encounters, mothership expeditions, and the lessons learned from exploring fisheries with no roadmap. It's a conversation about curiosity, patience, and why a successful day on the water isn't about numbers—but about the feeling. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hosts Go Off on Ice Shootings, Impending Warlords & Social Media MadnessDan and Corey dive headfirst into the chaos of political and cultural events in this episode of Libservative. Corey records from his makeshift dumpster studio while the two analyze the week's top stories. Laugh along as they discuss the devastating shooting in Minneapolis, the kidnapping of Maduro, and Trump's outlandish plans for Venezuela and Cuba. They also take a shot at the elitism of left-wing academia and tackle the cybersecurity threat posed by AI. Toss in some TikTok rants and you've got a wild ride through the latest political insanity with plenty of toilet humor and unfiltered opinions.00:00 Welcome to Libservative00:55 Vacation Recap and Florida's Irony01:35 Minneapolis Shooting and Other News02:27 Political Discourse and Social Media04:56 Maduro Kidnapping and Geopolitical Chess10:12 Trump's Foreign Policy Tactics17:15 Taiwan, China, and Global Tensions21:19 Historical Context and Modern Parallels47:18 Venezuela's Oil and Petrodollar Politics49:51 Piracy and Privateering: A Modern Take51:05 The Return of Privateering: Legal and Historical Perspectives53:47 Political Satire and Commentary56:28 Lindsey Graham: A Deep Dive into Controversy01:04:49 Shlomo Kramer and the Debate on Free Speech01:14:50 ICE Shooting Incident: Analysis and Reactions01:36:32 Critique of Left-Wing Academia01:45:12 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Piracy, hijacking, murder and kidnapping - that's just from our ‘closest ally' - the USA.   Hypocrisy on steroids from the West, Europe lost for words.  Who will or can stop Trump - with Greenland is in his sights.  Meanwhile NASA's new radar finds a lost city, under the ice….of Greenland.  We bank a record year for green energy, Octopus banks a bad one and plays a bad game. Britain's EV revolution powers on - the end of Diesel is in sight….China overtakes Musk. And Dale shows illuminates the fake ‘battle' between food and energy in the countryside.  The numbers give the lie to this right wing argument. Welcome to 2026..:)

HENRY AVERY: THE COMPLICATED GENIUS WHO SPARKED THE GOLDEN AGE OF PIRACYColleagues Sean Kingsley and Rex Cowan, The Pirate King. Host John Batchelor introduces the authors of The Pirate King to discuss Henry Avery, a "complicated genius" who raided a Mughal treasure ship in 1695. While this heist sparked the Golden Age of Piracy, the authors reveal that Avery did not merely vanish but entered a world of espionage. NUMBER 1

Air Date: 1/3/2026 Imperialism is best thought of as a "Wealth Pump," extracting wealth from one country and depositing it in another. Venezuela has wealth and wealth is the only thing Trump cares about, his willingness to break his promise of being the peace president and go along with traditional Republican hawks is not a complicated mystery.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE! With America making seizures of enemy ships on the high seas, and given the resource constraints of even our nation's great naval forces, there is talk once again about Congress authorizing the great and powerful President Donald J. Trump to issue Letters of Marque—a permission slip to commit acts of legal piracy!We'll also cover a variety of other fun topics on today's Friday members-only show!

On September 2, 2025, President Donald Trump announced from the Oval Office that the U.S. Navy had carried out an air strike on a boat in international waters. That boat strike rewrote U.S. policy for Latin America overnight. Three months later, 26 boats have been hit, killing more than 90 people.The United States has codified its justification for the boat strikes as part of a new National Security Strategy, published in early December 2025. In the National Security Strategy, Trump announced a new Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, which he hopes can propel the United States and the U.S. military to preeminence in the hemisphere. Trump clearly feels he has carte blanche to take whatever measure he deems necessary without regard for international law, the sovereignty of other nations, or people's lives. This reinvisioning of U.S. policy for Latin AmericaIt has disastrous implications for the region. More missile strikes. Loss of innocent lives. And even wrapping the United States into war close to home.Under the Shadow is an investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, telling the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present.

America just committed an act of war against Venezuela by commandeering its largest oil tanker like a band of 18th century pirates. Dr. Michael Rectenwald, founder of Anti-Zionist AZAPAC, joins Stew to expose how Trump's Jewish handlers are dragging us into WW3 while Trump brags like the good little Shabbos-goy he is.   Venezuela, Oil Tanker Raid, Trump, Piracy, International Waters, ZOG, Jewish Influence, Israel, BRICS, Iran, Hezbollah, BlackRock, Rothschild, Ronald Lauder, World Jewish Congress, AIPAC, AZAPAC, Dr Michael Rectenwald
