Podcasts about pivots

Following last week's look back at where it all began, I'm fast-forwarding through the last four years to share what has changed, what has stayed the same, and what it really looks like to pursue an "ideal life." From the highs of checking off bucket-list travels to the unexpected pivots of the medical job market, this episode is an honest reflection on career resilience, lifestyle design, and human connection. Resources Mentioned: Book: How Not to Die by Dr. Michael Greger

With more options, you will confidently handle presentations, so they always have power and a point. The post Ep. 396 – Six PowerPoint Presentation Pivots appeared first on Just Saying.

What would lead a woman with a brilliant future in the world of high art to trade everything for the lost souls of North Africa? Is it possible to lay down a God-given talent in exchange for His calling, and find that nothing was actually lost in the process? Sometimes the most beautiful masterpiece isn't found on a canvas, but in the life of someone willing to say "yes" to God's redirection.In this episode, Tracie and Abigail introduce the incredible life of Lilias Trotter. We explore her "pivot" from a genteel Victorian upbringing and the mentorship of art critic John Ruskin to a life of poverty and service on the Algerian mission field. Before we dive into her specific works and missionary methods next week, we're looking at the big picture of her life—a story of radical surrender that proves there is profound purpose when we allow God to pivot our path toward furthering the cause of Christ.If you know of someone who can be helped by listening to the Abundant Living Podcast, please share this episode with them.

There's a story in Scripture that feels almost too extreme to relate to—and yet somehow, it speaks directly into this exact tension. Hang with me here for a second.Genesis 22: 1-2 says:Some time later, God tested Abraham's faith. “Abraham!” God called.“Yes,” he replied. “Here I am.”“Take your son, your only son—yes, Isaac, whom you love so much—and go to the land of Moriah. Go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”Here, God asks Abraham to take his son Isaac—the very promise he waited years (many years!!!!) for—and offer him as a sacrifice. A sacrifice. Yes, you read that correctly. It sounds assaulting and impossible that a loving God would ask that, doesn't it? And Scripture doesn't soften it. God even says, “your son, your only son, whom you love.” He's not unaware of what He's asking.If I'm Abraham, I'm asking for confirmations, second opinions, and maybe a burning bush or five. But that's not what we see. Abraham gets up the next morning… and he goes.And here's what's wild: it's not immediate. It's a three-day journey.“The next morning Abraham got up early. He saddled his donkey and took two of his servants with him, along with his son, Isaac. Then he chopped wood for a fire for a burnt offering and set out for the place God had told him about. On the third day of their journey, Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. “Stay here with the donkey,” Abraham told the servants. “The boy and I will travel a little farther. We will worship there, and then we will come right back.”Three days of walking.Three days of thinking.Three days of holding something that doesn't make sense.And if we're honest, that's where most of us unravel. Personally, that sounds excruciating. There were some moments in the NICU after my son, Sledge was born where things felt really shaky and uncertain. There were so many what-ifs. I have very stark memories of begging Jesus, “Please Jesus, please let us keep him. I will never ask for another thing in this life. Please let us keep him and heal him.” The space between is always the hardest part— it is anything but passive. The waiting. The wondering. The time where your mind has room to spiral.Read more at cleerelystated.substack.com

One of the most destructive things we do is ignore the signs.    The signs about the times.     Accepting reality that things are going to change.    It's no surprise.    The pendulum of life swings back and forth, but for some reason, we get caught in continuing to believe the lies.    The best thing you can do is to be wlling to surrender to the inevitable......   Change will always be a part of life.    Personally and professionally, you will continue to be called to pivot.    Make changes.    Sacrifices.     Sit with failures and gather the courage to come up with a plan.    But here's the secret......   Everything you're trying to figure out has already been figured out......   That's if you trust in the plan God has created for you.    All you have to do is be willing to pivot when the time comes.    About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Why Therapists Stop Working with Kids and What It Takes to Stay: Sustainability, Boundaries, and Pivots for the Long Haul Curt Widhalm, LMFT, and Katie Vernoy, LMFT push back on the field's quiet stereotype that working with kids is the "starter home" of private practice, the place clinicians put in time before graduating to a cardigan and a wing-back chair. Working with kids and teens is not entry-level work. It is some of the most clinically and physically demanding work in the profession, and it has a sustainability problem that rarely gets named honestly. Curt and Katie examine why so many therapists who work with kids and teens hit a wall around the five-year mark, and why that wall is rarely about clinical depth. They unpack the sensory toll, the parent communication load, the school and provider coordination, the cost of running a play therapy room, and the way a child caseload can quietly distort a clinician's sense of what is developmentally typical. They also talk about how to build a long-haul career working with kids, teens, and families without becoming, in Curt's words, "a cynical, glitter-covered shell of a human being." This is a conversation for therapists in private practice, supervisors of clinicians who work with minors, and anyone weighing whether to keep working with kids, scale back, or pivot. In this episode, we discuss: Why working with kids is not a lesser clinical specialty Why the work is hard to sustain, and why "burnout" alone does not fully explain it How shifting from kid sessions to family work and parent work extends the clinical impact The sensory, physical, and administrative load of working with kids Why parents contact child therapists more than adult clients contact their own therapists The financial and logistical reality of running a play therapy room How a clinical caseload can distort a therapist's sense of typical development When a pivot to adult, family, or parent work is healthy, and when it is avoidance Timestamps: 00:15 — The "starter home" stereotype, and the five-year wall 06:03 — The 167-hour problem and why kid work is family work 10:08 — The sensory and physical toll 12:58 — Caseload diversification and structuring the day 19:41 — The unpaid hours: parents, schools, and the village 23:43 — The play therapy industrial complex 27:59 — Keeping up with kids' culture without losing yourself 30:19 — How a clinical caseload distorts the sense of typical development 33:09 — Expectations, moral injury, and what "fix my kid" really costs 35:01 — When a pivot is survival, and when it is avoidance Full show notes and resources: mtsgpodcast.com Join the Modern Therapist Community Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mtsgpodcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Creative Credits Voice Over by DW McCann — https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano — https://groomsymusic.com/

What if you could build a private practice that evolves with you through rebranding, new niches, and even public speaking? Today's guest is back for her third appearance on the show, and every time she comes on, her practice looks completely different in the best way possible.I'm so excited to reintroduce you to Vanessa Alcala, a first-generation college graduate, bilingual speech-language pathologist, and founder of TheraVolve Wellness Co., a private practice serving children and adults across Tampa Bay through clinic, in-home, school, and telehealth services.Once told by a guidance counselor she wasn't "college material," Vanessa went on to launch her private practice the day she graduated in 2019 — LLC and all. But between a global pandemic, two high-risk pregnancies, and losing her grandmother, she realized the traditional track wasn't the vibe for her.So she built her own path.Switching from adult-focused care to bilingual pediatrics. Rebranding from Vital Therapies to the deeply meaningful TheraVolve Wellness Co. Growing from a solo clinician to a team with a beautiful clinic in Carrollwood. And most recently? Turning public speaking into a high-impact, high-income marketing tool earning her "Best of the Best SLP" recognition from the Tampa Bay Times in 2025.Vanessa Alcala is a bilingual SLP, healthcare entrepreneur, public speaker, and mentor. A former dementia caregiver, she's co-host of Sip & Social, the first multi-state networking event of its kind for SLPs and women in healthcare and creator of "Impact to Income," a course helping healthcare professionals transition from clinical work to speaking opportunities and diversified income streams. She's also co-founder of The Concierge Marketing Shop, offering customizable marketing templates designed specifically for adult and pediatric private practice owners.Outside of patient care, Vanessa is a mother of two who has navigated private practice through different seasons of life. She's passionate about helping other practice owners recognize their value and build businesses that support the life they want — not the one they're told to settle for.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:How her practice has evolved in ways she never expectedThe pivots that changed everythingHow she's using public speaking to grow her practice in a way most SLPs never even considerVanessa is proof that your private practice doesn't have to look the way you first imagined it. In fact, it shouldn't. She was told she wasn't "college material." She messed up. She rebranded. She expanded into populations she never planned to serve. She built a culturally responsive bilingual practice that earned public recognition. And now? She's speaking on stages and TV, running a team, and building a business that actually lets her breathe.Her story does not have to be the exception. You, too, can evolve your practice—if you're willing to start before you feel ready.

We talk about: Where we've been, Troy leaving the pod, what the future of Manly Deeds looks like and why every man eventually has to learn how to pivot when life doesn't go according to plan. Because setbacks don't mean the mission is over. Sometimes they're just part of the process. This one is bigger than podcasting. It's about growth, loss, change, brotherhood, and learning how to keep moving forward.

In this week's episode, I am catching up with my friend and fellow astrologer, Michelle Grodnick. We get into her experience leaving a traditional corporate job to pursue astrology full-time, her experience studying astrology at the University of Oxford in the U.K. (yes, that's a real thing!), family dynamic astrology, and the fact that we are both pregnant and expecting baby Virgo girls later this year. The main theme throughout our conversation is how astrology points to making these major life decisions, whether it's leaving one career behind for another or deciding to become a parent, and the shifts in your priorities that come as a result. You can find Michelle and her work at 4thhouseastrology.com or on Instagram, TikTok, and Substack @slightlyspiraling Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction to Michelle06:08 – Family astrology + Saturn10:48 – Studying astrology at the University of Oxford15:55 – Stelliums and navigating social media content as an astrologer20:13 – Transits for leaving a corporate job and pivoting to a full-time astrologer29:29 – The astrology of our pregnancies44:30 – Balancing motherhood with running a business Follow Alice on Instagram or SubstackMusic is licensed from Soundstripe.Podcast Produced & Edited by Julia Bell at Breaking Thru Productions© 2026 Alice Bell.

Sam Vander Wielen is an attorney turned entrepreneur who built the go-to legal template shop for online businesses. Her flagship product, the Ultimate Bundle, a package of fill-in-the-blank contracts and video trainings, has generated over $8 million in lifetime revenue and now earns close to $2 million per year with essentially one full-time employee. She published her first book with Hachette in April 2025, and she runs everything through a single evergreen webinar funnel that quietly generates six figures a month between launches. I met Sam at Craft and Commerce last year, and when I saw her post about 10,000+ webinar registrants and a $500,000 launch, I knew I had to talk to her. What blew me away wasn't the numbers; it was the simplicity. One product. One funnel. Two launches a year. Relentless customer research. She's the clearest example I've seen of someone who found the main thing and refused to let anything pull her off it.

Robert Guenter is a dairy farmer and also a member of the Town of Ashippun Planning Commission. The town of Ashippun in Dodge County has successfully approved starting the process to transition to farmland preservation zoning. The town is facing increasing growth pressures, including recent applications for a private golf course and a solar energy farm. Ashippun's growth is largely driven by its location directly north of the rapidly growing village of Oconomowoc. He says local studies have shown that every dollar collected in taxes on farmland costs the town about 75 cents in services, whereas every dollar collected from development land costs about $1.25 in municipal expenses.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Decision authority shifts, the government acting like a venture customer and data transparency being the standard mode of operations are examples of how the old formulas of GovCon business success are becoming outdated. Davi Hayes, senior director for federal strategy at The Chertoff Group, fields any questions from industry clients seeking to understand those trends and more about how the buying behaviors of their federal customers are changing. For this episode, Davi joins our Ross Wilkers to lay out some of the answers he found in putting together the article “The Federal Market Has Changed. Has Your Strategy?” The three trends highlighted at the top feature in their discussion. Davi and Ross also overview how services companies are also part of the equation when “Navigating the New “Production-First” Defense Paradigm,” a second article to read along as they discuss the new world order of GovCon.

Ress introduce an interview with Danielle (Dani) Leverett-Gallaspy about making bold, uncomfortable life pivots. Dani (a former teacher) describes feeling increasingly frustrated and unsupported after changes in education, culminating in a traumatic bullying incident at a Mississippi middle school that administrators dismissed; she emptied her classroom, resigned over Thanksgiving break, and left without a plan. After a brief period of fear and self-doubt,especially about finances,she found her self pivoting into a career she would have never imagined. Dani emphasizes self-trust, boundaries, releasing people-pleasing, and accepting that things can come in seasons and there can much beauty in refinding yourself and letting yourself have a new dream.

If agents are eating the systems of engagement, what is actually left to defend — and who gets to defend it?The conversation covers:The SaaSpocalypse thesis in Patrick's own words — multiples from 7–8x to 40x to 2–3x in under a decade, the shift from systems of record to systems of work, and why he thinks fewer than a quarter of incumbent SaaS companies have the appetite to genuinely burn the boatsDefensibility after the foundation models — why single-player workflows are fragile against OpenAI and Anthropic's distribution, why multiplayer workflows (governance, RBAC, iteration, judgment across stakeholders) may hold, and why two of the three classic data-moat pitches no longer survive first-principles scrutinyThe pivot problem — Gigya hit ten million ARR and had to pivot, hit thirty million ARR and had to pivot again, and Patrick's retrospective conviction that both should have happened earlier; a useful frame for a market where capital is letting teams defer the questionProfessional services as differentiation rather than embarrassment — how Gigya ran services at ~30% of revenue, recurring and profitable, and why Patrick thinks the FDE renaming is obscuring a durable truth about trustMayfield's own shape — seventeenth early-stage fund, ~$1.2B across the two vehicles, roughly 70% first-institutional-check, two or three investments per partner per year, and the deliberate refusal to index a categoryThe battlefield promotion to CEO on Patrick's thirtieth birthday, five months of runway, a million-dollar monthly burn, and what he actually learned from Naveen Chawda about the difference between being founder-friendly and being usefulPatrick is a GP at Mayfield. Before investing he spent eleven years at Gigya, joining as the first business hire in 2007, becoming CEO at thirty, leading the company through multiple pivots and past a hundred million in ARR, and selling to SAP in 2017 for three hundred and fifty million. He now invests at seed and Series A in enterprise and AI, with board seats at Docket AI, Duplo Cloud, BigPanda, and Scrunch AI, and writes The CEO Field Guide on Substack.Worth the hour if you think about where the defensibility actually lives.

TCW Podcast Episode 256 - Cinemaware   Bob Jacob launched Cinemaware to fuse movies and video games on Amiga, hiring journalist Kellyn Beeck to design Defender of the Crown's medieval themes. Programmer John Cutter led in-house development after massive outside studio delays, tapping coder R.J. Michael for an intense programming marathon to barely hit deadline and make Defender the Amiga's killer app. Lone coders followed with Doug Sharp's janky Macintosh hypercard-style King of Chicago and Bill Williams' Sinbad, creator of Mind Walker. Licensed properties piled on, Rocket Ranger, Three Stooges, and Lords of the Rising Sun, plus TV Sports Football that inspired EA Sports' empire. Jacob chased Academy Award glory with a 1927 Wings adaptation you couldn't lose, featuring a story told by WWI pilot journals where downed fliers were memorialized via an end credits roll. With poor Amiga reception in the US, loyalty to the system cost them dearly. Pivots to consoles like obscure View-Master Interactive Vision and failed TurboGrafx-16 prevented a PC shift. Amid financial difficulties, Jacob sold Cinemaware in parts after just five years.   TCW 082 - An Unlikely Pairing of Siliwood: https://www.theycreateworlds.com/episodes/TCW082 TCW 246 - The History of Commodore Pt 3: https://www.theycreateworlds.com/episodes/TCW246 Kellyn Beeck - Atari Battlezone for the U.S. Army: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ppv5B6Lwcc Kellyn Beeck - The Pac-Man Zone: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ClEuynw--YQ Kellyn Beeck - Final Story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfW6h1_yrvY Commodore Power Play Issue 13 (Page 66 - Who Will Design The Perfect Game? - by Kellyn Beeck): https://archive.org/details/commodore-power-play-13/page/n67/mode/2up TCW 094 - Epyx not Epic: https://www.theycreateworlds.com/episodes/TCW094 Defender of the Crown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1qqoczc0m8 SDI (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLOAkpOKWno The King of Chicago (Macintosh): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2Oi6a68MqE The King of Chicago (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLaDhmIdvcs Mind Walker (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NygI9u_10Vs Sinbad and the Throne of the Falcon (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flpTfx0jaMw The Three Stooges (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAu-XvxV3zs Rocket Ranger (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6vIHcxGyIA Lords of the Rising Sun (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAfMrJ3rpSw TV Sports Football (TurboGrafx 16): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKYCgHhHquM TV Sports Basketball (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gdIRB-6s_k Wings (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL-qtxNgoHU Wings (1927 Film): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jf7Qn1IJsY View-Master Interactive Vision (Sesame Street): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7ZciCfgjmg View-Master Interactive Vision (Muppets - You're the Director): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i56ym5vZpQU View-Master Interactive Vision (Disney Interactive Arcade): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31QN5aT_RHw Green Eyed Lady by Sugarloaf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYbmls7c8EM Aspen Interactive Movie Map: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf6LkqgXPMU TCW 042 - Laser Craze: https://www.theycreateworlds.com/episodes/TCW042 Them!

Step into Episode 207 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Matt and Brian of Iconic Cocktails to talk about building an Arizona mixer brand over the last decade, from farmers markets and small-batch production to wholesale growth, hospitality partnerships, and a 10-year anniversary worth celebrating. What starts as a fun catch-up turns into a sharp conversation about partnership, product pivots, local sourcing, education-based selling, and what it really takes to keep a niche brand alive and growing in hospitality.​Matt and Brian break down how Iconic Cocktails evolved from an idea that once included soup and bar catering into a clean-label mixer company built around Arizona ingredients, strong local relationships, and constant customer education. They talk about building the business without a big machine behind them, producing by hand in small batches, growing through wholesale and hospitality accounts, and staying relevant as more consumers look for flavorful nonalcoholic options and more operators need something unique on their beverage menus. Along the way, Delo gets into their origin story, top-selling flavors like prickly pear and spiced honey, the new Strawberry Sage release for their 10-year anniversary, and the everyday habits that keep both founders grounded while balancing work, growth, and life.​Chapter Guide (Timestamps):​(0:00 - 4:50) Intro, 10-Year Anniversary, and How Matt and Brian First Connected​(4:51 - 8:15) Bringing on a Partner, Early Roles, and Why Working With People You Like Matters​(8:16 - 10:50) Devour, Arizona Hospitality Community, and Showing Up in Person​(10:51 - 16:10) From “Iconic Soup” to Cocktail Mixers, Education, and Small-Batch Production​(16:11 - 19:48) Distribution, Wholesale Growth, and Where to Find Iconic in Arizona​(19:49 - 24:48) Beverage Trends, Seasonal Flavors, and the Story Behind Strawberry Sage​(24:49 - 28:44) Flights, Best Sellers, 10-Year Milestones, and What Customers Love Most​(28:45 - 34:45) Daily Habits, Website Resources, Mat Facts, and Future Book Ideas​(34:46 - 42:30) Rapid Fire, Favorite Ingredients, Markets, Events, and Delo's Close​

What does it look like to shift irrigated pivot ground from crop production to grazing livestock? On today's episode, Race King with the Matador Ranch joins us to share how their operation approached that transition. With over 20 years of experience, we discuss what led them to explore grazing under pivots, the steps they took to implement it, and the results they've seen over time. From labor and infrastructure to soil health and long-term economics, we explore whether this approach can work in other parts of the country—and how it performs across different market conditions. Plus, we take a look at a different approach to fly control using a bolus-based delivery system that provides up to 195 days of coverage—reducing reliance on mineral intake and/or tags. #workingranchmagazine #WorkingRanchRadio #ranchlife #ranching #cattle #livestock #beef #cowcalf #cattlemanagement #foragemanagement #ranchprofitability #agriculture #agpodcast #pivotirrigation #grazingmanagement #soilhealth #regenerativeag #rotationalgrazing #stockercattle #flycontrol #cattlehealth #Limousin #Neogen #TankToad #NoFence #Gelbvieh

What happens when someone tells you you're the worst therapist in the middle of a thriving practice? For Tamara Gestetner, it was the moment she realized burnout wasn't about work, it was about identity and honesty. After nearly two decades as a marriage and family therapist, Tamara reinvented herself multiple times, from special education to furniture retail sales to life coaching. Her journey proves one thing: it's not too late, it's not reckless, and a career change isn't failure.In this episode, we explore how burnout actually shows up, why high achievers push through it, how to distinguish between a rough patch and true misalignment, and what it takes to coach someone through major life transitions.Episode Highlights:Tamara's journey proves that the hardest part isn't making the change; it's being honest about why you need to make it. Burnout rarely lives aloneShe shares that in her experience, high achievers don't address burnout because they fear failure, believe they'll hit it again anyway, and aren't honest with themselves about what's really happeningCareer dissatisfaction is often about passion and identity, not skills, most intelligent people can learn most jobs, but passion is harder to find and harder to leaveTamara believes that the difference between a temporary rough patch and true misalignment is repetition: if the same problem happens again and again across different roles, it's probably misalignmentWhen coaching someone through transition, start with their actual needs right now (bills, savings, timeline) instead of their dream job, then build backward from realityEpisode Links: Website: www.tamaragestner.com Instagram: @talktotomorrow LinkedIn: Tamara Gestetner Five Towns Jewish Times: Tamara's Contributions to the Advice ColumnPodcast: Talk to Tomorrow (Launching Soon)Send us Fan MailFollow The Digital Marketing Mentor:Website and Blog: thedmmentor.comInstagram: @thedmmentorLinkedin: @thedmmentorYouTube: @thedmmentorInterested in Digital Marketing Services, Careers, or Courses?

Time is running out to file your taxes to the IRS as the April 15 deadline approaches. But for the IRS, the work is only just beginning and it's off to a rocky start. Elon Musk's Department Government Efficiency in 2025 pressured about a quarter of the IRS's workforce to leave, and the agency is on its seventh leader in the span of a little over a year. The agency also managed during one of the longest shutdowns in US history and a presidential-mandated hiring freeze. That meant the IRS had to change direction for the 2026 filing season. IRS workers from the human resources and technology divisions were told they'd be helping out process tax returns—an unusual move for the agency. Customer service workers at the start of the season weren't fully trained and critical tax season tech also wasn't ready. Bloomberg Tax's Erin Schilling and Erin Slowey spoke with David Schultz about the implications of the decisions of DOGE and what that means for taxpayers.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1296: GM and LG retool for energy storage as EV demand cools, VinFast restarts its North Carolina factory with a fraction of the jobs promised, and Nvidia adds four major automakers to its autonomous driving platform.Show Notes with links:GM and LG are retooling their Tennessee Ultium Cells joint venture plant for energy storage batteries, and recalling 700 laid-off workers to make it happen. The facility was originally built to supply EV batteries, but slower-than-expected adoption changed the math.The Ultium Cells joint venture will shift to lithium-iron phosphate battery production starting in Q2, targeting the booming energy storage market.AI data centers are driving massive electricity demand, making grid storage one of the fastest-growing battery opportunities right now."Right now, the demand exceeds supply tremendously, and it's going to continue to exceed it for the next several years." — Kurt Kelty, GM VP of Battery, Propulsion and SustainabilityVinFast is restarting construction on its North Carolina factory after a year-long pause, now targeting a 2028 launch. The original vision has shrunk considerably, and the company's finances aren't making the story any easier to tell.The plant's projected workforce dropped from 7,500 to 1,400 jobs, putting $315M in state and local incentives at serious risk.VinFast must either invest $500M or hit 1,750 jobs by end of 2026, or North Carolina can trigger a site repurchase option.Q4 losses widened 15% year-over-year to $1.3B, even as deliveries more than doubled and full-year revenue doubled as well.North American EV sales are forecast to drop 16% this year, adding headwinds to an already uphill U.S. market entry.VinFast said it "remains focused on executing the project responsibly," but declined to comment on the incentive and job-count implications.At its GTC conference this week, Nvidia revealed that Hyundai, Nissan, BYD, and Geely are building Level 4-capable autonomous vehicles on its Drive Hyperion platform, joining Mercedes, Toyota, and GM.Drive Hyperion is Nvidia's reference architecture for autonomous vehicles, combining its computing platform with cameras, radar, and lidar so automakers aren't starting from scratch.Level 4 autonomy means the vehicle can drive itself in certain conditions with no human intervention required.Nvidia's GPU dominance in gaming and data centers has quietly made it the backbone of the autonomous vehicle industry as well.Today's show is brought to you by HeyGreenlight.
