Podcasts about Pods

Coming up this week and next week and the week after… A massive multi-part episode. The world is shifting in unpredictable ways. The old order dies of smoke inhalation in a dumpster fire. The new one has yet to be lifted out by C-Section. Iran, it is now clear, represents the smouldering conflagration that will consume US power. As its strength is sapped, this lumbering giant will make ever-poorer decisions. Bad money will be poured after good. The Falcon F-16 cannot hear the falconer. Which way is up will become ever harder to discern. In the face of this spinning compass, our sense-making apparatus is as useless as a cavalry charge in the Ardennes. But there is one doomsday weapon that could yet unscramble our circuits. One that has only recently become known to science. The Pod to End All Pods is a three episode collaboration between Multipolarity, and our two most requested guests – Malcolm ‘Juche Respecter' Kyeyune - and Amerikanets, the anonymous Substacker who uncovered the implausibility of Trump's Venezuela Raid. We've assembled this little RAND Corporation, and told them to solve for the next twelve months — and the next ten years. The results were incendiary and interminable. They spoke for three hours — which we've decided to carve into three separate podcasts. In the first episode, this week, we're going to talk about the Air War — the debaseification thesis, as laid out by Amerikanets. The Iranians are systematically denying the US its regional airbases by killing personnel and hitting assets on the tarmac. The Reaper drones that put the fear of god into America's enemies in the 2010s are now undergoing their own holocaust in the skies over Iran. Meanwhile, American generals are struggling to understand what the target even is — in a KPI culture, they're running out of targets, and pushing towards more and more abstruse success metrics. This is a war being run without a purpose. Then, In part two, we get round to The Systemic-War Thesis. Like World War I, like the Thirty Years War, or the Napoleonic Wars, this has become a conflict that pulls in every actor within a closed system — and only stops at mutual physical exhaustion. A point only underlined by the Saudis' decision to hit Iranian targets this week. Finally, in part three, we take on Europe, America and the political fallout. Is the old world about to be dragged into this, much against their will? Given the spate of fires at EU refineries and munitions plants, are we on explosion watch? All this and more, as the July Crisis takes shape. They said it would be over by Christmas — and this show just about will be. This is The Pod To End All Pods.

Patrick Witt, the White House's executive director for digital assets policy, calls in mid-episode to give the Chopping Block crew a live read on the CLARITY market structure bill! Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week they're joined mid-episode by Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the President's Council of Advisors for Digital Assets, who dialed in late because he was literally chasing down bill language. First, Tarun explains how Gauntlet closed its biggest raise ever, $125M from SBI Holdings, the crypto OGs of Japan and early Ripple Labs backers, and what it cost him in suits and seven straight days of staying shaved (chairman Kitao-san reportedly listens). Then the crew dissects Balaji's Network School saga, from a Forest City ghost town in Malaysia to an immigration raid, a revoked license, and a sudden MOU-fueled pivot to Kazakhstan, with Tom's dreaded 'turkey chart' making an appearance. Finally, the main event: Patrick lays out the state of play on the CLARITY market structure bill, the August 7th recess deadline, the ~46% Polymarket coin flip, and the first-of-its-kind ethics provision, including the DOJ-versus-state-AG enforcement fight and whether crypto gets a second crack after midterms.

Whether you're visiting one of the 63 national parks this summer or just hitting a local trail, a lot of the best practices for a great hike apply just as well to your retirement plan. Let's “walk” through a few. Important Links: Website: http://www.yourplanningpros.com Call: 844-707-7381   ----more---- TRANSCRIPT:  Marc: This week on Plan with the Tax Man, maybe you're visiting one of our national parks this summer or just out hitting the local trail. And if you are, we have some best practices for a great hike that apply just as well to your retirement plan. So let's walk through a few of these with Tony Mauro. Hey everybody. Welcome into the podcast. This is Plan with the Tax Man, with my friend Tony Mauro. How you doing buddy? Tony Mauro: I'm doing good. Marc: Yeah? Tony Mauro: Midst of summer. Marc: Yeah. Tony Mauro: It's all good. Marc: I'm telling you what, it's been crazy, incredible hot. Look folks, little FYI out there. If your AC unit fails you during the really hot months, be very, very careful because apparently mold can build in the ducts quickly when the humidity is high and the AC's not working, go figure, even though the AC's not working because the water and condensation that sits in there while waiting to get it repaired apparently turns to mold. So a little FYI because it's expensive to fix it. Tony Mauro: Yeah. Marc: And that might be a retirement expense, Tony, that you just didn't see coming, right? Tony Mauro: You didn't see coming. You better have to depend on the emergency fund. Marc: Exactly. Right. So we're always trying to provide useful nuggets of information on this podcast. But we're going to have some fun this week. Tony, I know you like to travel. I know you like to go a lot of places. Do you visit the national parks? Do you do some of that stuff? Tony Mauro: The reason that I want to talk about this, because I was just out in a couple of them last week. Marc: Oh. Tony Mauro: I had to go out to South Dakota for a wedding, and so we stopped at the Badlands National Park. Marc: Nice. Tony Mauro: And it wasn't really a park, but Mount Rushmore. But I have been to other national parks out. I've been of course to Yellowstone and a couple of others. A lot of them I still want to see, and they're very interesting. I will say- Marc: You have been at Yellowstone or not? I though you had. Tony Mauro: I have been to Yellowstone. Marc: Oh okay. Tony Mauro: Yeah. Marc: Yeah. Okay. Tony Mauro: I still have a few on my list. Zion and Bryce And some of those, but I do like to hike. I'm an amateur. Marc: Yeah. I want to go to Denali. That'd be cool. Tony Mauro: Yeah, Denali. Marc: Yeah. Or McKinley, whatever it used to be called, either way. So look, do you know how many national parks we have, by the way? There's a lot. Tony Mauro: I don't. Marc: There's a lot. 63. Tony Mauro: Is that how many? 63 national parks. Marc: Yeah. 63 national parks. Some are really big, obviously, and some are really small. I think Hawaii's got a couple. I think California's got like six, but yeah. So there's different sizes and stuff out there. So anyway, a lot of people like to visit these things as a summer thing with the kids or grandkids maybe. So we'll talk a little bit about some analogies. I'll let you spin some financial wisdom to my setup for the park conversation. So we'll start with a map. Don't leave home without a map. I know we got these cell phones and that we're attached to them now, Tony, but you might not get signal in some of these bigger parks. And if you think about it, a lot of the gates when you go into some of these national parks, the first thing a ranger does is tell you a couple things and they hand you a map. Tony Mauro: That's what they did to me. Yeah. Marc: Exactly. And that's the same thing. It's to help keep you oriented. Same thing with a financial strategy. It's to help to keep you oriented and focused. Tony Mauro: It is. I mean, the financial plan, if you have a formal one, I mean, that's your backbone. That's the map itself. And just like when I was... We did a little hike in the Badlands on our own and they gave us a map to make sure we stayed on the trails and stayed on... I equate that to just like in the financial planning world, stay on track and make sure that you're following your map as best you can. So out there in the Badlands, if you get off the trails, a lot of bad things can happen quickly. Marc: Yeah. Tony Mauro: In the financial world, it's going to be a slow burn if you get off track, but over time you get off track too much, and what's going to happen is you get to the end and you are not going to be where you though you were going to be. Marc: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Tony Mauro: And so with this plan, as it changes and whatnot, it's not like a static map that you'd be holding in your hand with hiking. Marc: Sure. But if you get a little off course, it might help you get back on. Or even those reviews serves as almost like a check-in spot. Maybe you're going on a really long trail through the parks and it's like, "Hey, we're going to stop at this little whatever this thing is." And there's a map there because maybe they've made some changes or who knows? Tony Mauro: Yeah. In our annual reviews, I mean normally the plan changes a little bit every year, if nothing else, just with a little bit of goal modifications and things like that. And then of course, maybe even rebalancing. Marc: Well, life's going to throw something at you. Tony Mauro: Life's going to throw something at you. I was just telling you before this call, life threw something at one of our clients. They've got parents going into, one's got dementia and had got to go in a nursing home with no plan. And boom, all of a sudden life changes quickly. Marc: Yep. Tony Mauro: All the better to have a map and to be following it. Marc: For sure. For sure. Well, and unfortunately, Tony, one of the problems that we run into often when we go to these lovely, beautiful national parks because our country is full of amazing locations, is unfortunately there's other people. And people don't do the best job of always picking up after themselves. So when you go to just about every national park, there's signs everywhere. "Please do not leave your garbage. Please do not do the..." Like at Yellowstone, we were just talking about that. At the sulfur pools, "Don't throw cans in the sulfur pools," things like that. Just crazy stuff that you think, hello, common sense. We should not do this. Ultimately, the message is don't leave a mess behind. And financially, same kind of thing. I mean, when we're no longer here, are we leaving a mess for our family? Tony Mauro: Yeah. And that's what I was just on the call with is that this family's mother and father are going to leave them a mess, and they didn't plan for it. And you don't want to leave your loved ones when you're gone. I'm already talking. I'm working through it myself with my wife at our life list. Something happens to one of us, we don't want to leave a mess for our son. And that means knowing where everything's at and how to close things out and what's going to go where. It's hard enough for loved ones when you're gone dealing with all the emotions. You don't want to leave them with a financial mess. And that goes from everything from no will to outdated wills, no beneficiaries on certain things, keeping all your stuff secret. I think you need to be more transparent with your heirs to make sure that you don't leave them with this and let them know what the plans are. You don't have to share every detail of every cent that you have, but I think you should leave something for them to help them when the inevitable happens. And then you're not going to be blindsided. Marc: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and sometimes there's a lot of little things too. Unfortunately, big situations like the one you're currently dealing with there, but there's the little things people can do to not leave a mess. I mean, even something as simple as your TODs or PODs on some of your different accounts. A lot of times people don't even think about that. They got a bank account, maybe they got 50, 60, 70 grand sitting there and they forgot to put transfer on death to their spouse or whatever. So just a mess. Just make it easy when we pass on, because we're all going to pass on. Try to make it as easy as possible and leave no mess behind. The scenic route. A lot of times we go to these national parks, we love to do the scenic route. Lots of things can get in the way. It's fun to do the scenic route, but sometimes you're just tired. You want to take the quickest route too. And I think when you're thinking about retirement, sometimes it's easy, Tony, to be like, oh man, what's the fastest way to get me some more income or take advantage of this crazy market run that we've been on or whatever. So the scenic route could be the way to go. Sometimes the faster way is the way to go. It just depends. Tony Mauro: It does depend. And it depends on going back to the first thing we talked about is your map and really what's going on. What we see mostly is clients wanting the fastest way. And you hit it on the head is what's the fastest way I can get to X amount because they think that's... And what they end up doing is, without a good plan, they could end up taking a lot of risk. They could end up really shooting themselves in the foot a little bit because there's all kinds of things out there. Anything from the volatility in the markets, what's going on in the world politically. And then of course dumbing it down a little bit, just not dumbing it down, but shrinking it down to what's going on in their personal lives. You're going to have things that pop up at you that scenic route may be the better route. Our jobs as advisors is trying to mesh the scenic route with the fastest route and get the best of both of them according to whatever that person is after. Because most of the time patience and the discipline win the race rather than trying to shortcut and use time to market, for example. And then the next thing you know, you've lost a lot of money. Marc: Yeah. I mean, patience and discipline right there. Whether you're hiking and out in nature or dealing with your finances, it's important. You get too ahead of yourself out on the trail or you get too irresponsible, you could come across some wildlife that's not happy to see you, you could lose your footing and tumble down a hill or whatever. So certainly want to be careful there. And pack light, Tony, where you can whenever you're hiking. Anybody who's ever gone hiking or whatever knows that the more you weigh yourself down, the slower it's going to be, the more tired you are. So you keep the clutter to a minimum. And as we age financially, we start, I think not only just financially, but in every aspect we're like, "Ugh, we got too much crap. Let's start getting rid of some of it." And I think financially that happens too, right? Maybe consolidation becomes a higher priority and whatnot. Tony Mauro: I think so. I think as you get closer to retirement, you definitely want to start packing a little lighter. And it's funny because we were just out on, like I said, when we hiked last week, and I'm an amateur hiker. We don't do anything too strenuous, but we're still up on some rocks and things. I'm thinking to myself, I'm getting older. I need to slow down a little bit, make sure I assess these risks because I'm not 25 anymore. Marc: My wife would love to hear you say that. She does risk assessment for a living. Anytime someone says, "I got to assess some risks," she's very, very happy. So kudos to you. Tony Mauro: Yeah. And we're just looking at each other, it's like we're off the edge of a cliff here. And if we were to loose rocks or something, then we have an emergency. Marc: Yeah. Or it's over. Tony Mauro: Yeah, or it's over. Marc: Right. Tony Mauro: But I do like, when I hike, I do like to pack light. And I would say getting that over to the financial arena really is, as you age, get a little closer, it's a good thing to work with your advisor to consolidate accounts. Obviously try to get rid of all high interest debt if you can. I like to say to people, "You want to be debt-free by 65. Maybe you've got some old policies just like you got some old subscriptions that everybody always talks about that you're paying for that are no longer a use to you." All these exercises to clean up your financial life and make it as simple as possible when you retire so you know where everything's at, income's coming in predictably, and you don't have to stress out about it. Marc: Yeah. There you go. God stuff for sure. So consolidation and pack light financially is certainly a good idea. The final piece of this conversation, Tony, is that sometimes people will say, "Look, you just said there's 63 of these things. And if you've seen one of them, you've seen them all." Yosemite and Denali are completely different, right? Acadia and Zion, so on and so forth. And the itinerary outlined on the travel books, it may work for one park, but not for another or one family and not for another. And that's a super easy way to do a comparison to retirement. Tony, you've helped a lot of people retire and you could probably easily say, "If I've built one retirement strategy, I've built them all. They're all the same," but they're not because everybody's totally different. Yeah, taxation. Yeah, social security. Yeah. Income. There's the big ticket items you got to certainly do in every plan, but how you do it and in the ways that you do it is unique from person to person, just like a park. Tony Mauro: Just like a park. I mean, for those that say, "Well, we're going to use a robo-advisor or just pick some things out." Well, that's just generic. And will that work? Potentially, yes, but you really don't know if it will. And I believe that there's still a human touch in all of this. And what works for somebody on one end may be completely different for somebody else because, A, they may not have the same resources and income and assets, and maybe they don't even want all that. Somebody else might want something totally different. So I think that's where the planner can be of some value and that's why you're paying them is to lend that kind of thing and really create a plan for you rather than just everything's the same. Because I've only been to a few national parks and I can tell anybody that hasn't been, outside of, make sure you visit a few, they're completely different. Marc: Yeah. Tony Mauro: And they're completely unique. And I usually don't plug the federal government, but I will say that the parks that I've been to, including this one, are extremely well ran, extremely clean, and extremely just organized. And so why wouldn't we want to have that in our financial life as well? We've been talking about it for this whole call. I mean, that's what it's all about. Marc: Yeah, here, here. Well, look, the people who get the most out of their vacations, their national park trips, whatever it might be, aren't the ones that show up and figure it out the gate. Maybe. And maybe that just like retirement, it's such easy to make these analogies. You might, "Hey, we're going to go to the national park and just wing it today." And if you're 25, you can probably pull that off with ease. But when you're 65, you do not do that, right? Tony Mauro: No. Marc: You've probably done the research, mapped the trails, or at least know what you're going to be getting into before you get there. And retirement clearly, again, works the same way. A little prep goes a long way to making sure that you get the things out of it that you were hoping to get out of it. And that could not be more true when it comes to a financial strategy. So as always, if you need help folks, reach out to qualified professionals like Tony.

The freight market changes fast, but a lot of broker operations still look the same: endless check calls, status emails, manual appointment scheduling, missing PODs, and a nonstop flood of “where's my order” messages. We sat down live with Jett McCandless, founder and CEO of Project44, to make a major announcement and dig into the why behind it: LSP44 is launching as a dedicated business built specifically for logistics service providers, including 3PLs, freight brokers, and freight forwarders. We talk through the history that led here, from Project44's early LSP roots to the hard lessons of selling into shippers with entrenched EDI teams and slow enterprise change management. Jett shares what changed when capital stopped being “free,” how prioritization decisions damaged LSP relationships, and how product reliability helped drive a dramatic NPS turnaround. The big takeaway: LSPs buy and use technology differently because their product is the service, and they need infrastructure that plugs into their operating system and scales without adding overhead. Then we get tactical on logistics AI. Where do AI agents belong in the workflow, and where are they just an expensive band-aid? Jett breaks down the API-first approach, the gaps agents should fill, and the orchestration layer that constantly tests vendors, routes tasks to the best performer, and delivers outcomes without forcing customers to manage a fragmented tech stack. We also dig into trust, data rights, and why “cool demos” are getting replaced by brutal ROI questions across the industry. If you care about freight visibility, AI automation, TMS strategy, and what the next decade looks like for domestic brokers versus global forwarders, this one goes deep. Subscribe, share with a broker operator who's tired of vendor sprawl, and leave a review with the one freight task you'd automate first.Thanks to our sponsors:Cloneops.ai: Not just AI.

Vladimir Novakovski of Lighter joins the Chopping Block crew to untangle one of crypto's oldest debates: what happens when tokens and equity coexist. The gang digs into the Venice/VVV controversy, breaks down Lighter's new Perps integration with Robinhood Chain and the fragmentation questions it raises, dissects the wild BonkDAO governance exploit, and reacts to the eye-popping $2.4 billion in crypto income disclosed in Trump's financial filings. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto, joined this week by special guest Vladimir Novakovski of Lighter. The crew dives deep into the resurfaced tokens-versus-equity debate sparked by Dragonfly's investment in Venice and its VVV token, with Haseeb making the case that Venice is fundamentally different from Uniswap Labs style structures. Vlad explains how Lighter has approached the same dilemma through programmatic buybacks and a single C corp structure, and the group debates fiduciary duties, Delaware law, and what a merged DeFi/TradFi future for equity and tokens might look like. From there, they unpack Lighter's big Robinhood Chain announcement, including Lighter's new role as the native Perps engine inside Robinhood Wallet, and whether running a separate instance fragments liquidity. The episode wraps with a breakdown of the BonkDAO governance exploit that let an attacker vote themselves $20 million in tokens, and a reaction to Trump's staggering $2.4 billion in pre-tax crypto income revealed in his latest financial disclosure.

Why did a blacksmith hide six cocoa pods under his tools to smuggle them past Spanish customs — and how did those six pods become the foundation of an industry that today supplies sixty percent of the world's chocolate? Who was Tetteh Quarshie, the man who spent six years watching cocoa grow on a plantation island before bringing the knowledge home to Ghana, and why has the credit for what he did been contested ever since? And what does it mean that the average cocoa farmer in Ghana earns a dollar a day for producing the raw material of a chocolate bar that sells for the same price?Join John and Patrick as they tell the story of Ghana and cocoa — the toolbox, the Cocoa Hold-Up of 1937, and the smallholder revolution that made a country from six pods...----------In Sponsorship with J&K Fresh.The customs broker who is your fruit and veggies' personal bodyguard.

July 9, 2026: OpenAI released its new GPT 5.6 lineup, Elon Musk's xAI launched Grok 4.5, and GPT Live showed where voice-based AI may be heading next. Then I get into Uber's Agentic Pods, where the company is embedding AI-proficient engineers inside legal, finance, and HR even as leadership admits it still can't prove the ROI. Finally, I look at the Brown University AI cheating scandal, where students averaged 96 on a take-home midterm and then collapsed to 48 on an in-person final, and why this should worry every leader thinking about AI, skill, and judgment.

Changes to workplace harassment laws – steps employers should take to prepare In this fifth episode of the Employment Espresso Pods mini-series on the Employment Rights Act 2025, Jenny Andrews and Sian McKinley, both Of Counsel, together with Knowledge Counsel Anna Henderson, focus on the changes to the law on harassment due to come into force in October 2026. These reforms extend the new preventative duty first introduced in October 2024, turning it into a duty to take "all reasonable steps" to prevent sexual harassment, and also create the potential for employees to bring claims against their employer in relation to any type of unlawful harassment by a third party. We discuss the steps employers in different sectors should take now to minimise the risk of claims. The Equality and Human Rights Commission's technical guidance dated 2024 referred to in the podcast is available here: https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/guidance/sexual-harassment-and-harassment-work-technical-guidance; the Commission's latest research is here: https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/our-work/our-research/our-research-workplace-harassment.

Esther talked about her Facebook account being "permanently disabled," affecting her connections with nearly 5,000 friends (read the whole story here), and Erin shared her experience working on a live remote broadcast for the FIFA World Cup. Then the pair got down to processing the latest onslaught of pop culture, with Larry David's take on American history on HBO; Mindy Kaling's latest, Not Suitable for Work; the film Bride!, which was about the Bride of Frankenstein but also about Mary Shelley, who authored the famous monster tale; and the anticipated arrival of Steven Spielberg's latest aliens film. Also in this episode: two odd films from Sacha Baron Cohen, "The Invite," directed by Olivia Wilde and starring Seth Rogen; Anderson Cooper's podcast on grief, featuring Amanda Peet, and a wonderful episode of The Daily, a New York Times podcast, featuring the Broadway show "Every Brilliant Thing," and more!    Check out these links: On The Daily (NYTimes) Amanda Peet "There's No Algorithm for Grief"  with Anderson Cooper The Happiest List on Earth - Every Brilliant Thing Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness - Trailer Stop That Train Trailer

The crew breaks down the SpaceX IPO's crypto-like low float dynamics and Hyperliquid's price prediction, debates accredited investor laws and failed tokenized stock allocations, dives into Fable 5's export control shutdown after Amazon flagged a jailbreak to the Treasury Secretary, and argues whether open source AI models will eat frontier pricing. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. Robert is back after a brief hiatus recording his own podcast, The Pop, for Superstate — and the crew wastes no time roasting him for it before diving into the biggest week of news in recent memory. First up: the SpaceX IPO, the largest in history, and why it looks eerily like a crypto token launch — 4.2% float, retail getting cut out, and Hyperliquid perps predicting the first-day pop almost to the dollar. The crew debates TradeXYZ's winner-take-all dominance of HIP3 and why building on top of Hyperliquid might be a terrible startup environment. Then they unpack Elon's financial engineering genius — the Cursor acquisition as all-stock crypto playbook, XAI's pivot from failed AI lab to compute reseller, and why Grok is (unanimously) an embarrassing piece of shit. The conversation shifts to accredited investor laws, SPV dentists, and why every crypto platform failed to deliver SpaceX IPO allocations. From there, Coinbase's massive system update — tokenized stocks, an SEC-registered AI chatbot, combos, and 15-minute markets. Then things get spicy: Robert asks Claude about SBF on air, Sonnet gets it hilariously wrong, and everyone roasts him for not using Opus. The back half is all about Fable 5 — Amazon's jailbreak discovery, Andy Jassy calling Dario (who didn't pick up), and the export controls that shut down the most powerful commercial AI model ever released. Robert drops his most surprising take: "I am EAC, but this is a dry run of pressing the pause button." The episode closes with a heated debate on whether Chinese open source models will eat frontier AI pricing and a bet that may or may not have been agreed upon.  Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.

Harvesting, Milling, and Cooking with Arizona's Native SuperfoodIn this episode we explore mesquites as a desert food source, hosted by Romey Romero & Farmer Greg. This episodes guests are Peggy Sue Creekmore and Mike Clow and we explore one of the Sonoran Desert's most abundant and overlooked food sources: mesquite beans. The conversation covers how to identify quality mesquite trees, harvest pods safely, dry them properly, and turn them into nutritious mesquite flour using a community hammer mill. Listeners learn why mesquite has been a staple food for centuries, how it compares to conventional flour, and how to transform this free local resource into delicious baked goods, drinks, and snacks. The episode also highlights educational workshops, harvesting walks, and community milling opportunities.Key Topics & EntitiesMesquite bean harvestingMesquite flour productionCommunity hammer mill projectNative desert food systemsPeggy Sue CreekmoreMike ClowFarmer Greg PetersonSonoran Desert edible plantsPalo verde beansCarob podsIronwood seedsAflatoxin preventionBruchid beetlesUrban Farm mesquite milling eventsKey Questions AnsweredWhy is mesquite considered a valuable food source?Mesquite pods are highly nutritious, naturally sweet, gluten-free, and rich in protein. Indigenous peoples and desert communities have relied on mesquite as a staple food across the Southwest and northern Mexico for centuries.Do all mesquite trees produce good-tasting pods?No. While all mesquite pods are technically edible, flavor varies significantly from tree to tree. Some are sweet and pleasant, while others can be chalky or have an unpleasant aftertaste. Tasting pods before harvesting is essential.What does mesquite flour taste like?Mesquite flour has a naturally sweet flavor often compared to graham crackers, caramel, or malt. Many recipes require little or no additional sugar because of the flour's natural sweetness.When is mesquite harvesting season?Mesquite pods typically begin ripening in June, although weather and elevation can shift timing earlier or later. Pods should be fully tan, dry, and free of green coloration before harvesting.How should mesquite pods be harvested?Harvest pods directly from the tree rather than from the ground. Many harvesters use a tarp and gently shake or tap branches to collect ripe pods.Why shouldn't pods be collected from the ground?Ground-harvested pods can develop mold and aflatoxins, which may contaminate community milling equipment and reduce food safety.How can harvested pods be stored properly?Pods should be dried thoroughly in shallow boxes, baskets, dehydrators, ovens, or even a parked vehicle. Moisture is the primary cause of spoilage and milling problems.What is a mesquite hammer mill?A hammer mill is a specialized machine that pulverizes entire mesquite pods, including seeds and pod walls, into flour. Traditional grain mills cannot process mesquite effectively because its natural sugars gum up the machinery.What can be made with mesquite flour?Mesquite flour can be used in cookies, muffins, crepes, breads, energy balls, beverages, and other baked goods. It works particularly well in low-temperature baking and gluten-free recipes.What happens to the material that doesn't become flour?The coarse material, often called "chunky bits" or chaff, can be used to make tea, brewing mash, and other food products.Episode HighlightsMesquite flour is naturally sweet enough to reduce or eliminate added sugar in many recipes.Flavor quality varies dramatically between mesquite trees, making tasting an important step before harvesting.A mature mesquite tree can produce more than 100 pounds of pods in a season.Harvesters should only collect pods directly from the tree to prevent mold contamination.Proper drying is the single most important factor for successful milling.The Urban Farm community hammer mill converts harvested pods into food-grade flour.Mesquite flour is gluten-free and requires binders such as eggs, chia, or applesauce when baking.Desert trees such as palo verde, carob, ironwood, and mesquite offer significant edible resources often overlooked by modern food systems.Calls to Action & ResourcesMesquite Harvesting Walks — https://urbanfarm.org/mesquiteMesquite Milling Appointments — https://urbanfarm.org/mesquiteUrban Farm Educational Programs — https://urbanfarm.orgDesert Food Tree Guide — https://learn.desertkitchen.net/treesVisit www.UrbanFarm.org/990 for the show notes and links on this episode!Need a little bit of advice or just a feedback on your design for your yard or garden?The Urban Farm Team is offering consults over the phone or zoom.

Unfair dismissal from January 2027 – what employers need to do now In this fourth episode of the Employment Espresso Pods mini-series on the Employment Rights Act 2025, Jenny Andrews and Sian McKinley, both Of Counsel, together with Knowledge Counsel Anna Henderson, turn to one of the most significant changes - certainly the most controversial in terms of its progress through parliament - the Unfair Dismissal changes landing on 1 January 2027.

Mert and Illia autopsy a brutal weekend in crypto: Saylor's $3M test sale that taught him there's no sell button, the Zcash bug Claude found that could've minted unlimited counterfeit ZEC, formal verification as the bulwark against AI attackers, and whether NEAR's agentic commerce vision is real. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week we've got two heavy hitters: NEAR Protocol co-founder Illia Polosukhin and Helius founder Mert Mumtaz. We kick things off with the weekend market meltdown -- Saylor sold 32 BTC for the first time in four years, STRC is trading below par, and Mert argues the real damage is that Saylor sucks all the air out of the room for actual crypto innovation. Then we get into the biggest story of the week: a critical bug discovered in Zcash's Orchard ZK circuit using Claude Opus 4.8 that could have allowed infinite counterfeit minting inside the shielded pool. Mert walks us through the emergency soft fork, the Ironwood migration, and why formal verification is about to become table stakes. Illia makes the case that AI-powered attackers have a permanent asymmetric advantage and that we need real-time on-chain detection systems to survive. Tom coins the analogy of the episode: we're moving from building boats to building spaceships. We close with Illia's pitch for NEAR's agent commerce vision – $240M in single-day volume, private intents, and the claim that agent-to-agent trustless commerce is already live – while Mert remains a friendly skeptic.

What if airports had self-driving mobility pods that could safely navigate through crowds, just like something out of The Jetsons? Or the Pixar movie Wall-E?In this episode, John Koetsier sits down with Matthew Anderson, CEO of A&K Robotics, to explore the future of autonomous mobility. A&K Robotics is building AI-powered self-driving pods designed to help people navigate airports independently without relying on wheelchairs or staff assistance.But the real breakthrough isn't just autonomy. It's crowd navigation. Matthew explains why navigating dense, unpredictable crowds is one of the hardest problems in robotics, and how A&K's “crowd-centric AI” could become foundational technology for airports, stadiums, smart cities, conferences, and even humanoid robots in the future.They also discuss:* Why airports are the perfect proving ground for robotics* The AI and sensor stack powering autonomous mobility* Directional sound systems inspired by The Sphere in Las Vegas* Scaling robotics startups from prototype to deployment* Raising an $8M Series A round* The personal story that inspired Matthew to build the company* Why the future of robotics depends on moving safely through human environmentsGuest:Matthew Anderson — CEO, A&K RoboticsCompany: A&K RoboticsIf you enjoy conversations about AI, robotics, startups, and the future of technology, subscribe for more interviews with founders and innovators shaping what's next.Subscribe here:https://techfirst.substack.com00:00 – Intro00:30 – Meet A&K Robotics and the Vision for Autonomous Airport Mobility01:20 – Why Crowd Navigation AI Is the Hardest Problem in Robotics02:40 – Navigating Dense Airport Crowds and Passenger Flow04:05 – Directional Sound and Designing a Better Airport Experience05:50 – Building an “iPhone Experience” for Mobility Robots06:30 – Sensors, LIDAR, and Operating Without GPS07:20 – Fleet Management and Autonomous Operations in Airports08:00 – Mapping Airports and Optimizing Routes Through Crowds09:00 – Scaling the Business and Solving Systems Integration10:00 – Charging, Docking Stations, and the Future Airport Network10:45 – Raising an $8 Million Series A Round11:20 – Customers: Vancouver International Airport and Aena12:10 – Building a Polished Robotics Platform on Seed Funding12:50 – Matthew Anderson's Background in Robotics and Drones14:00 – The Bigger Vision: Crowd Navigation for All Robots14:40 – The Personal Story Behind the Company Mission15:40 – Licensing Opportunities and the $5 Billion Airport Mobility Market16:45 – Hiring, Scaling the Team, and Expanding Production18:00 – Growing Up Hacking Robots and the AC/DC Story19:10 – Why Building Robots Is Fun — and Why Accounting Wasn't20:40 – Final Thoughts and the Future of Autonomous Mobility

Dan, Manny, & Billy report on Gen Z's recent obsession with Hacky Sacks, their journeys to find them in the wild, and they put them to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!   “I don't ever remember buying a sack, but I always knew I had a sack. And then you would just, like, play sack, and then the sack would go into someone's pocket, and then you would have that sack. It was like, Dan, you compared it to, like, a lighter. Yeah. Like, did you ever buy that lighter?” |-Manny Coelho   A few weeks ago, Manny called up Dan to tell him that Hacky Sacks were back. He was seeing kids playing with them in the neighborhood, his nephew asked him if he knew what they were, and then there was a random hacky sack in his sister's basement. All signs were pointing to the resurgence of this stoner activity (shoutout Bajas) by Gen Z so Manny, Billy, & Dan went looking for them in stores (check out the journey on Instagram) and two out of three of the hosts found them! This episode is like a late-night hack session, there's no logic, it's random, there's a lost sense of time, and in the end, it never was about hacky sack at all. It's just about hanging out with your friends. The guys talk about Spencer's Gifts, how Gen Z is messing up hacky sack, the game of Combat, playing catch, Pods, Magic the Gathering, the drinking game Asshole, and so much more. Oh! And just like any good shroom trip, the guys somehow verbally wander full circle back to hacky sacks and finally figure out why hacky sacks are back. Not to spoil anything, but it's all Ryan Gosling's fault. So, put on your baggiest jeans or corduroy pants, put on a beanie no matter the temperature, grab at least 3 friends, and get hackin, because this episode is classic Nostalgia Test fun.   *** If you love what we're doing and want to support the podcast so we can keep this show going with better equipment and maybe meet up with each other to do some in-person recording, donate to The Nostalgia Test: buymeacoffee.com/nostalgiatest   Lastly, we're looking to be booked for podcast appearances, hosting gigs and parties, maybe you have a block party coming up, a BBQ that you want to be Nostalgia themed and you're looking to make it seriously memorable, a reunion, etc., contact us to book the podcast.

Joe Lubin makes the bull case for Ethereum amid a sea of bearishness. The panel dissects Saylor selling Bitcoin for the first time in four years, the meaning behind 9 senior EF departures, Justin Drake's Q-Day call (50% by 2032), Manuel Araoz declaring all of DeFi unsafe, the ThorChain hack fallout, the Zama/Overnight Finance USDC freeze saga, and the CFTC greenlighting the first US perpetual futures product. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week Joe Lubin is stepping in to make the bull case for ETH on what he admits is a tough day to be bullish. We open on Strategy's first Bitcoin sale in four years and whether the STRC preferred stock structure is "an algorithmic stablecoin with too many steps," as Tarun puts it. Joe pivots to pitching Ether DATs, then we get into the Ethereum Foundation's brain drain -- nine researchers gone, CROPS as the new mandate, and a mysterious new developer organization taking shape behind the scenes. The episode's meatiest block covers DeFi security: Justin Drake warns Q-Day is 50% likely by 2032, Manuel Araoz says all of DeFi is unsafe, ThorChain's been offline for two weeks post-hack, and the panel debates whether we're entering a rough 12-24 months where attackers outrun defenders. We close on Hyperliquid's all-time highs and the CFTC opening the door to US perps.  Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.

Ethereum's midlife crisis hits the podcast as ex-Bankless and ConsenSys insiders unpack ETH's talent exodus, identity spiral, "Microsoft" future, EF shake-ups, and the Solana contender play-all with spicy takes on airdrops, real dev stats, and blockchain adoption drama. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, it's an Ethereum apostasy spectacular: we're joined by David Hoffman and Max Resnick, who hit the confessional booth to explain why they've left the church of Ethereum.  We kick off with David's viral "ETH is money" post-mortem: why he finally sold, and whether ETH can escape its spot on the yield farm for good. Max jumps in with an OG technologist's view on EF's internal struggles, talent flight, and the move-slow, break-nothing philosophy now gripping Ethereum's core. Is the EF just ossifying—or is it devolving into the "Microsoft of crypto"? From there, the hosts dissect the "second foundation" meme, why Twitter doomers might not matter for the ETH price, and whether Solana has stolen the next generation of devs. Max throws down on Solana's quantum future while the group takes barstool shots at metrics, narratives, and the never-ending "Ethereum is for boomers" debate. Whether you're a ride-or-die Etherean or just here for the schadenfreude, let's get into it.

Rebecca from Jito Labs joins Haseeb, Tom, and Tarun for a regulation deep-dive covering the CLARITY Act's stablecoin yield compromise and presidential ethics sticking points, CME and ICE's lobbying war against Hyperliquid's RWA perps, the prediction market legal battle heading to the Supreme Court, and whether the SEC's tokenized securities innovation exemption will actually matter. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, joining us is Rebecca Rettig, Chief Legal Officer at Jito Labs, who's here to help the crew make sense of the absolute regulatory tornado tearing through the industry. First up: the CLARITY Act. It just got out of Senate Banking Committee, but the road to passage is anything but smooth. The stablecoin yield fight with banks ended in a "do stuff yield" compromise, but presidential ethics provisions remain the last polarizing hurdle. Rebecca breaks down what actually changes for token founders if it passes — spoiler: not much immediately, since rulemaking alone could take years. Then: CME and ICE have declared war on Hyperliquid, lobbying the Hill to force CFTC registration on the decentralized perps giant. The crew debates who actually wins US regulated perps, whether Hyperliquid's pre-IPO markets represent a genuine threat to investment banking, and Rebecca introduces "on-chain finance" — a distinction the panel immediately roasts her for. Finally: prediction markets are in a legal bloodbath across state courts with a Supreme Court showdown likely by 2027, and the SEC's tokenized securities innovation exemption has Twitter buzzing but Rebecca skeptical. Let's get into it. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform. Show highlights

Is the era of protocol bailouts upon us? The Chopping Block crew and MegaETH's Shuyao Kong debate Defi United's community-funded rescue, the KPI vesting experiment shaking up token launches, whether DeFi yields truly underprice risk, and the first major PolyMarket insider trading bust—all delivered with the usual insider banter you won't hear anywhere else. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, the squad is joined by MegaETH co-founder Shuyao Kong, fresh off their headline-making KPI-gated token launch. First, we dive into the whirlwind that is Defi United: a who's-who of Ethereum OGs and protocols pledging hundreds of millions to fill bailout holes from the massive KelpDAO hack—voluntarily. Are we witnessing a new age of protocol do-gooder vibes or just kicking the moral hazard can down the road?  Then, we tear into the “are DeFi yields way too low” debate, prodded by Tom Dunleavy's viral thread—should degens really be earning more for taking protocol risk, or are the markets just as weird as they seem? Shuyao gives us an under-the-hood look at MegaETH's radical KPI vesting mechanics, why they made the token vesting play risky pre-TGE, and whether dynamic tokenomics could be the industry's way forward (with plenty of banter about airdrop farming and governance theater along the way).  Finally, we spin through the saga of PolyMarket's big DOJ insider trading bust: is “insider info” a feature or a bug in prediction markets? All that, history lessons, cynicism, and more—let's get into it.

The Chopping Block crew and guest Monet Supply break down the $200M Kelp DAO bridge exploit, finger-pointing between LayerZero, Kelp DAO, and Aave, the wild “reverse hack” Arbitrum bailout, and what it all means for DeFi lending protocol risk, L2 trust, and the future of socialized losses in crypto. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, we're joined by Monet Supply, DeFi governance OG and current Spark brain, for a front-row seat to crypto's hack-of-the-week: the $200M “Kelp DAO—LayerZero—Aave” debacle. If you thought DeFi risk was just about liquidations, buckle up. The team untangles the hack mechanics, the musical chairs of collateral across bridges and lending markets, and—most importantly—the prime time blame game: is it LayerZero's fault for running a single-signer bridge, or did Kelp DAO or Aave drop the ball? We dive deep into the “socialized losses” mess facing Aave depositors (especially on L2s), unpack Arbitrum's extraordinary move to confiscate coins back from North Korea (yes, really), and debate whether rollups can—or should—aspire to Ethereum's censorship resistance. Finally, the squad discusses concrete remediation: rate limits, portfolio triage on risky collaterals, and the meta-game of DeFi crisis response. If you want the blunt, unfiltered, and occasionally spicy take on DeFi's latest chaos, let's get into it.
