AP correspondent Ben Thomas reports the exchange of fire between Iran and the U.S. has quieted, for now, replaced by another exchanged of rhetoric.
You already had the threat intel. The IP was on your blocklist, the file hash was known bad. So why did your MDR only raise an alert instead of blocking it? Lieuwe Jan Koning, Co-founder & CTO at ON2IT, and colleague Nicholai Piagentini, Technical Enablement Engineer at ON2IT, make the case for preemptive cybersecurity: the shift from detect-and-clean-up to block-first, and what it means for the future of MDR.Timestamps:(00:00) - Preemptive cybersecurity: what it means for MDR (00:59) - Why detect-and-clean-up is not enough (the leaking tap) (01:42) - You knew the threat: block first (03:34) - Fusing the SOC and operations teams (05:57) - Speed, seconds, and AI versus AI (08:15) - Data freedom and vendor lock-in (10:33) - Dynamic policy without breaking change control Key Topics Covered:Preemptive cybersecurity as the Gartner-flagged direction, and why MDR has to move past detect-and-respondTurning known indicators of compromise into automated blocks at the endpoint, network, and cloudCollapsing the SOC and operational teams so detection and enforcement act as oneSub-second response, AI-driven attacks, and why MTTD and MTTR need to convergeData freedom and data sovereignty, and avoiding vendor cloud lock-inRelated ON2IT Content & Referenced Resources:Threat Talks website: https://threat-talks.com/ ON2IT (Zero Trust as a Service): https://on2it.net/ AMS-IX: https://www.ams-ix.net/ams
Running a SOC was always hard. With AI in attackers' hands, hard becomes impossible, unless you change how you work. Rob Maas, Field CTO at ON2IT, sits down with Lieuwe Jan Koning, Co-founder & CTO at ON2IT, on why detection and response no longer buys you time. Open-source AI now finds a way into a portal in about 15 minutes, no pentester required. The fix is preemptive cybersecurity: prevention first, automated countermeasures, and a zero trust culture that turns your SOC from analyst-driven to software-driven, with the analyst still in the driver's seat.Timestamps: 00:00:00 When hard becomes impossible 00:01:37 The biggest change in SOC history 00:05:16 What attackers can now do with AI 00:08:13 Why patching can't be your core defense 00:11:58 The analyst becomes the quality gate 00:13:11 Preemptive cybersecurity, explained 00:24:33 Advice for SOC managers
Your patient is nine years old. One first permanent molar is crumbling — the others look fine. Does it stay, or does it go?Is that broken-down first permanent molar really down to poor brushing — or is it Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation?When is the right time to take a first permanent molar out — and how do you read it off the X-ray?And how do you tell a parent their child needs an adult tooth removed — without losing them?First permanent molars of poor prognosis are one of the genuine head-scratchers of general practice — full of ifs, buts and timing. In this episode Jaz sits down with Dr Nicole Sturzenbaum, a paediatric dentist and the owner and clinical director of Toothbeary in Richmond, London, to work through the whole decision: getting the diagnosis right (molar-incisor hypomineralisation versus caries), reading the extraction window off an OPG, the restorative ladder from sealant to stainless steel crown, when to bring in the orthodontist, and how to handle the conversation with anxious parents. There's no one-size-fits-all answer — but there is a clear way to think about it.Protrusive Dental Pearl: Painless Polishing for Anxious KidsThe mechanical clean is what frightens children (and plenty of adults) — the scaler, the bristle brush, the gritty prophy paste. For the polishing part, a colourless plaque-dissolving foam gel does the job without any of it. It fizzes wherever there is plaque, so you can hand the child a mirror and show them exactly where to brush; it leaves the teeth satin-smooth, reduces gingival inflammation, and is painless and non-invasive.Two caveats: it does not remove calculus — you still need a hand or ultrasonic scaler for that — and you should agitate the gel gently at the gingival margin for the full effect. It is especially useful for orthodontic and adolescent patients because it reaches the nooks around brackets, which is where post-orthodontic white-spot lesions start.Product: Magic3 (3% hydrogen peroxide, colourless plaque indicator), by Dr Wyman Chan — protrusive.co.uk/magic3.What You'll Take From This EpisodeDiagnosis first — MIH or caries? The distinction changes the plan, the prognosis and the whole conversation with the family.Reading the extraction window off an OPG — why chronological age tells you nothing, and what the second molar's bifurcation tells you instead.The restorative ladder — seal, composite, preformed metal crown, or plan the extraction: matching the least invasive option that will actually hold.When to involve the orthodontist — essential or desirable, which teeth come out, and managing the space afterwards.Getting sensitive molars numb — why MIH teeth are so hard to anaesthetise, and the comfort stack that helps.Highlights of This Episode00:00 TEASER00:59 First Permanent Molars of Poor Prognosis in Children02:51 Painless Chemical Polishing for Kids (Protrusive Dental Pearl)04:53 Meet Dr Nicole Sturzenbaum, Paediatric Dentist11:49 MIH or Caries?

A federal judge dismissed Michael Wolff's lawsuit against Melania Trump, rejecting his attempt to preemptively block or neutralize a potential $1 billion defamation suit from the first lady over comments tying her to Jeffrey Epstein. Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil ruled that Wolff's approach was procedurally improper, calling it a “contorted” effort and saying federal courts do not exist to referee a pre-lawsuit battle in that manner. Wolff had argued that Melania Trump's legal threats were meant to intimidate critics and chill speech, while her lawyer said his statements caused reputational and financial harm and demanded retractions.The underlying dispute centers on Wolff's comments about Melania Trump, Donald Trump, and Epstein's social orbit, including remarks that were later used in a Daily Beast story the outlet retracted after legal pressure. Wolff maintains that his statements were either taken out of context, protected opinion, or did not accuse Melania Trump of criminal involvement in Epstein's crimes. Melania Trump has forcefully denied any association with Epstein and framed the claims as defamatory lies. The judge did not decide whether Wolff defamed her; instead, she dismissed his preemptive lawsuit and left any future defamation fight to proceed through the ordinary legal process.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Judge throws out Michael Wolff's lawsuit against Melania TrumpBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Washington was supposed to write the rules for artificial intelligence. Instead, it left the field wide open. In this episode of The Valley Current®, host Jack Russo explores why a single, sweeping federal AI law is becoming less likely even as legal risks explode. From Florida's high-profile lawsuit against OpenAI and Sam Altman to California, Texas, and New York creating conflicting regulatory frameworks, AI companies now face a fragmented landscape where state attorneys general and private litigants are shaping the future of the industry. Meanwhile, Europe continues setting the pace with stringent compliance requirements carrying potentially massive financial penalties. Is Congress destined to eventually impose a unified national standard, or has the era of fifty-state AI regulation already arrived? For founders, investors, and technology leaders, the answer could determine who thrives and who gets left behind.

Silicon Bites Ep339 | 2026-05-18 | Apparently, Taiwan is up for negotiation. But what is Trump's price – is it personal profit, or U.S. national interest that this betrayal will serve? How Trump came back from Beijing and put a $14 billion arms package — and an island democracy — 'up for negotiation'", while kowtowing to a communist dictator. I must ask, Americans are you tired of the endless winning yet? And a small reminder – Ukrainian had multiple revolutions triggered by a lot less than this grifter clown is doing. He's dismantling American soft power, hard power, alliances, security architecture, economy, governance in real time, without much apparent pushback. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

Romans 14 calls believers to a deeper kind of unity, one not built on uniformity of practice but on shared surrender to Christ as Lord. In a community shaped by differing convictions, Paul redirects attention away from judgment and toward love, urging each person to be fully convinced before God while refusing to impose those convictions on others. Freedom in Christ is reframed not as personal license, but as a responsibility to build others up, even at cost to oneself. The kingdom of God is not defined by external behaviors, but by righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit, shifting the focus from surface-level disagreements to Spirit-formed character. True maturity is revealed not in being right, but in bearing with others, limiting one's freedom for their good, and trusting God as the final judge. In this way, the life of faith becomes a lived expression of humility, unity, and sacrificial love, reflecting the heart of Christ Himself.

“Once you start clamping down on speech, it will have serious collateral damage. And we're starting to see that now.” — Jacob Mchangama The Jyllands-Posten editor who published those Mohammed cartoons in 2005 spent a decade under round-the-clock protection from Danish intelligence services. He'd commissioned artists to say it with their pens, but the mob came after him with AK-47s. Copenhagen-born Jacob Mchangama watched that happen in a country where free speech had been considered as natural as breathing, and has since dedicated his professional life to defending it. Thus The Future of Free Speech, Mchangama's new book coauthored with Jeff Kosseff. It's also the reasoning behind his Future of Free Speech Institute at Vanderbilt, where Mchangama runs the only serious academic program dedicated to the proposition that democracy's most essential freedom is in global retreat. The Varieties of Democracy dataset agrees. The number of countries where free speech is declining has increased dramatically; those where it's strengthening are few. In 2000, Bill Clinton laughed at the idea that China might censor the internet — “that's like nailing Jell-O to a wall.” Over the last quarter century, China has perfected that art. The decline doesn't come from a single ideological camp, which is Mchangama's most politically inconvenient point. He suggests that the left has convinced itself that hate speech regulation, age verification for social media, and disinformation controls are acts of democratic hygiene. The Trump administration, meanwhile, is overtly shutting down free speech at a scale unmatched in recent American history. And then there's the paradoxical possibility that anti-social-media liberals like Jonathan Haidt, in their fervor to take freedom of online expression from kids, are also contributing to today's great recession in free speech. Left, right, and center. America, China, Denmark. Nobody, it seems, wants to allow us to say anything anymore. Five Takeaways • The Editor Who Lived Under Protection: The editor of Jyllands-Posten who commissioned the 2005 Mohammed cartoons spent a decade under round-the-clock protection from Danish intelligence services. He had asked cartoonists to draw. They came after him with AK-47s. Ten years later came Charlie Hebdo — the French satirical magazine that had republished the cartoons as an act of solidarity, and saw twelve people murdered when two jihadists entered its offices. For Mchangama, growing up in Denmark where free speech felt as natural as breathing, this was the event that changed everything. The last place he expected an existential challenge to free speech was religion. • Democracy's Varieties Are Shrinking: The Varieties of Democracy project — probably the most sophisticated dataset of free speech indicators — shows the trend line is clear: the number of countries where free speech has declined has increased dramatically, while those where it is being strengthened are few. Bill Clinton laughed in 2000 at the idea China might censor the internet — “that's like nailing Jell-O to a wall.” China has since perfected the art. The internet's original techno-optimistic promise — that censorship would be consigned to the ash heap of history — has been turned on its head. The recession of free speech has gone hand in hand with a wider democracy recession. • Four Hateful Men and the Minority Principle: The most important US Supreme Court decisions protecting free speech deal with extremely hateful people — viciously antisemitic speakers, members of the KKK. And very often, Black and Jewish civil rights organizations defended them on principle, because they knew: if you are a vulnerable and persecuted minority, you depend more than a majority on the ability to challenge power. You depend on a principled protection of free speech. That history has largely been forgotten. Free speech, Mchangama argues, can be under attack from the left, from the right, even from centrists. The Trump administration is restricting it. The woke left tried to. The answer is principled, consistent defence — regardless of who's speaking. • Elite Panic Is the Historical Constant: Every time the public sphere is expanded through new communications technology, the traditional gatekeepers fret about the consequences of allowing the unwashed mob direct and unmediated access to information. The World Economic Forum declared disinformation the largest short-term threat to humanity ahead of the 2024 super-election year, when around two billion people were eligible to vote. Researchers studying those elections could not identify AI-generated disinformation as having shifted a single outcome. The AI disinformation apocalypse never materialized. Jonathan Haidt — who has done important earlier work on free speech and academic freedom — may be exhibiting motivated reasoning in his crusade for age verification. Elite panic looks the same from every century. • Creative AI vs. Intrusive AI: Mchangama distinguishes two faces of AI. Creative AI gives superpowers on demand — a PhD-level tutor for reading Homer, research agents that operate at a depth and scope previously unimaginable. Intrusive AI enables the most powerful surveillance and censorship regimes the world has ever seen. “If Hitler or Stalin had the powers that the Chinese Communist Party has now — that is a frightening thought in and of itself.” Preemptive safetyism is the wrong response: AI is a general-purpose technology. Filter it in the name of preventing disinformation and you hand governments and companies a filter over the entire ecosystem of ideas and information. The same logic as free speech. Applied to the most powerful communications technology ever built. About the Guest Jacob Mchangama is the founder and executive director of the Future of Free Speech at Vanderbilt University.

Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
Exhaustion inside belonging can create quiet relational strain and pressure you can't explain. This isn't weakness or poor boundaries. It may be identity-level misalignment — over-functioning to stay included.Belonging shouldn't feel like burnout.And yet for many capable, responsible people, it does.You leave gatherings that were technically fine feeling strangely tired. You replay conversations that didn't go wrong. You sense tension before anyone names it. You adjust tone before it escalates. Nothing dramatic happened, but your nervous system feels like it worked.This episode explores why belonging can feel exhausting — especially for high achievers and steady leaders who learned early that being the calm one preserved connection.We gently name what many people don't have language for:Over-functioning as a nervous system strategy.Preemptive emotional labor as protection.High-alert social scanning as a way to reduce relational risk.For some, stabilizing the room wasn't a personality trait. It was survival wisdom. It kept conflict from erupting. It earned trust. It preserved belonging.But what once protected you can quietly become identity misalignment.When you regulate the atmosphere before anyone else has to, people adapt. Teams stop stretching emotionally. Relationships remain functional but not mutual. You become indispensable in ways that create relational strain and low-grade exhaustion.This is not a communication problem.It is not a boundary failure.It is not burnout in the traditional sense.It is misalignment between who you are now and the identity you built to stay safe.Recognition came first.Now we loosen what no longer needs to run the show.There is no urgency here.Only orientation.Today's Micro Recalibration:In your next relational space, let one small tension exist without smoothing it immediately. Notice what rises in your body when you do not regulate the room.That discomfort is not failure.It may be recalibration.If belonging has felt like pressure, stress, or subtle emotional exhaustion, you are not broken. You may simply be ready to belong without carrying everything.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration → Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you → Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

PBS FRONTLINE's documentary "Remaking the Middle East" explores the history of U.S. relations with Israel and Iran.
The military-industrial complex and the American police state have joined forces. Trump's Iran war and war at home are no longer separate.
Seth dives into the complexities of preemptive cultural surrender, referencing the recent Austin, Texas shooting and its connection to radical Islam. He discusses the lack of media attention to the ideology behind the shooter and the newly-erupted conflict in Iran. He shares a personal anecdote about Salman Rushdie's book and The New York Times' coverage of the late Ayatollah's regime, highlighting the importance of not whitewashing terrorism and its ideology. Producer David Doll and Seth discuss new types of cheeseburgers and coffee, and Jimmy Buffett's biggest albums. We're joined by John Dombroski, founder and president of Grand Canyon Planning Associates. The Department of War has identified several recent U.S. casualties in an Iranian aircraft attack.

As President Donald Trump positions “the largest naval and air forces” off Iran's coast that the U.S. has “seen since the invasion of Iraq in 2003,” he has some pros and cons to weigh about striking the Middle Eastern country. The U.S. isn't in a war with Iran right now, so Trump's positioning of forces could be for “either a preventive war, long-term threat, or a preemptive war,” explains Victor Davis Hanson on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “It's very controversial, and we don't know whether he's going to pull the trigger or not ... He'll have to make the decision pretty quickly because you can't just take those many naval assets and stick them halfway across the world ... The window is probably about another six weeks.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Russia's Role as a Stabilizing Factor in Middle East Tensions. Guest: ANATOL LIEVEN, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Russia has reportedly arbitrated between Jerusalem and Tehran to prevent preemptive strikes and maintain stability in Eurasia. While Russia lacks the power to defend Iran from a U.S. attack, it seeks to avoid regional instability. Russia's diplomatic approach contrasts with perceived universal aggression from other global actors.1900 RUSSIA

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Iran's military commander has accused the U.S. and Israel of meddling in his country's internal affairs, as protests continue.
After 28 years, I finally understand the mind-pretzel logic that kept my husband stuck in addiction: "Everyone leaves because I'm fundamentally broken, so I might as well use porn. But you're NOT allowed to point out my brokenness, or YOU'RE the bad one." In this episode, we break down Jay's Plan A, B, and C - and why he never planned for the one where I could agree with him about his flaws without him exploding or expecting me to leave. The revelation that changed everything for me: Jay didn't see me as his wife. He saw me as just another level of enemy - closer than most, but still someone who would eventually use ammunition against him. This explains why it was easier for him to let me file for divorce than to let me point out a single flaw. His ego couldn't handle being seen, even by someone who loved him. For the wives watching: If you've tried the "compliment-concern-commitment" approach perfectly for months and he still attacks you, you're not crazy. He might just like to fight. Try it for six months like I did, then trust what you see. For the men watching: If you're stuck in "everyone's against me" thinking, this video shows you how to find actually trustworthy people and build real vulnerability instead of keeping everyone at arm's length as potential threats. Preemptive victimhood doesn't make you the victim. It turns you into the perpetrator. Episode referenced: "She's the Enemy" (December 15th) What we cover: -Why "thank you" wasn't enough (but "this hurts me" was too much) -The narcissistic response to having flaws pointed out -How the Three C's approach worked (and when it didn't) -"Different levels of enemies" - the mindset that blocks real connection -The college friend Jay screamed at for 2 hours -How to test if someone is actually trustworthy -Why strong emotions from your wife mean she loves you, not hates you Timestamps 00:00 Cold Open: Preemptive Victimhood Made Him the Perpetrator 00:37 The Mind-Pretzel: I'm Broken But You Can't Say It 02:44 Plan A, B, C: He Never Expected Me to Agree 04:43 Easier for Me to Leave Than for His Ego to Break 06:47 I Tried the Three C's Perfectly for Six Months (He Still Attacked) 09:43 Everybody's Different (Learning to Trust Again) 10:47 Just Different Levels of Enemies (No Real Friends) 12:03 How to Find People Who Are Actually Trustworthy 13:54 When Victimhood Turns You Into the Abuser -- To Rebuild Trust - https://thecouplecure.com/contact-me/ To Recover from Betrayal Trauma - https://pornpainhealed.com/contact-me/ Guys to Schedule a Free Call with Jay - https://porniskillingme.com/schedule-a-free-intro-call/ To Say Thanks ("Tip Jar") - https://buy.stripe.com/8wM6pe74F9LsdkA8ww -- Who is This Channel For? If porn addiction has you stuck--whether you want freedom as an addict, or you want the pain to stop as a betrayed spouse, or you need trust rebuilt in your relationship--this podcast can help. Our marriage was nearly destroyed by Jay's porn addiction, but we found ways to make life and marriage much better than before. Now, as Trauma-Trained Certified Mentors, we're using those best practices to help you find the peace, joy and love you're seeking. #betrayal #relationships #pornaddiction #marriageadvice

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Whitney: Hello, wondering if you add minerals to your water from the kangen k8? If so what brands do you like and trust the most? Thoughts on the beam minerals brand? And do you have to put minerals in each glass as you dispense / drink it since you can't really make a big batch of hydrogen water to keep in the fridge without the hydrogen dissipating ? Thanks! Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! My new functional medicine doctor suggested I start BPC 157 to help with gut healing and cellular repair. Peptides are one of the few things I've never researched. The site says they are synthetic peptides originally derived from a naturally occurring sequence found in human gastric proteins. This sounds suspect to me... Is there a natural BPC 157 you would recommend, or what brand did you use when you took BPC 157? I'm hesitant to use anything synthetic. Thanks for any insight! Anonymous: HI! So I've done a lot of work on my health and healing. Preemptive apologies to anyone who doesn't want to hear this graphic question! I cut nuts and seeds because every time I eat them, the next day my stool is basically wrapped in what looks like stringy worms. I've watched this happen over the years and took a long time for me to finally figure out a pattern. At first I thought they were actual worms. They are maybe 2-3 mm in diameter and can be interwoven through the stool or just on the outer sides. It almost looks hollow which led me to wonder if I'm seeing the worm's digestive tract or perhaps it's my intestinal lining sloughing off in one long intact piece. Either way it's shocking. Wondering if nuts are just mucus machines and highly inflammatory on my gut lining? Worms? Thanks!! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I just wanted to report back with a success! So my dad had been growing what we lovingly called a "carbuncle" on his temple for years. It was dark brown, rough, raised, and steadily growing. Through the help of your wealth of information, I guessed that it was seborrheic keratosis. He was getting frustrated with its growth and did not want to get doctors involved. I had him listen to an episode about it and he started applying ACV at least twice a day and we watched it disappear over just one month! It was probably an inch or so in diameter. We are all blown away that it completely disappeared with his consistent use of ACV! Thank you so much for all your help and sharing knowledge we can all use to help ourselves at home! My dad is happy to be rid of his "carbuncle"! Summer: Hello! So I have a handful of tiny cherry angiomas scattered all over my body. I had one pop up just below my collar bone and within weeks to a month it had grown significantly. It's now just under 1/2" in diameter and sticks up about 1/4". I've been applying ACV and Tea Tree oil twice daily for a couple of months. I even tried cauterizing it with a wart freezing kit. The surface dries up every few days and comes off and it will bleed profusely if I bump it after a shower or pick at it. When I apply pressure it deflates like a balloon and I can watch it refill with blood and fluid in seconds. I'm not so sure this is a cherry angioma anymore... Does it sound like something else? What can I do? I don't want to go to a doctor, but it's become quite the nuisance. Thank you!!

In another special solo episode, Peter Walker dives deep into Carta's Q2 Fund Performance Report to unpack the data on what's really happening inside venture capital today.Peter walks through the critical benchmarks every GP and LP needs to know, from median and top-decile Net IRR, TVPI, and DPI across different vintages and fund sizes. He explains why the 2021 vintage is struggling, why small funds have higher performance dispersion, and how liquidity pressure is (or isn't) impacting GP behavior.He also introduces the single biggest theme defining venture in 2025: Concentration. Peter breaks down how this theme is affecting AI funding, geography, lead investor ownership, and even bridge rounds. Plus, he answers pre-submitted questions on follow-on strategy, liquidation preferences, and how to stand out to LPs in a crowded market.Q2 2025 VC Fund Performance Report:https://carta.com/data/vc-fund-performance-q2-2025/Subscribe to Carta's weekly Data Minute newsletter: https://carta.com/subscribe/data-newsletter-sign-up/Explore interactive startup and VC data, with Carta's Data Desk: https://carta.com/data-desk/02:03 – Chart 1: The VC fund universe (Fund sizes) 02:47 – Chart 2: Dry powder by fund size03:12 – Chart 3: Dry powder by vintage year04:14 – Chart 4: The hollowing middle of venture05:08 – Chart 5: LP count by fund size06:09 – Why are there fewer LPs in recent vintages?07:07 – Chart 6: The rise of the anchor LP07:51 – Digging into fund performance08:11 – What LPs really want to see (Net performance)09:03 – Chart 7: Net IRR by vintage year10:21 – Chart 8: IRR J-Curve (Why 2021 is struggling)11:59 – Chart 9 & 10: Top Quartile & Top Decile IRR13:05 – Chart 11: Do smaller funds outperform larger funds?14:55 – Chart 12: TVPI benchmarks (Median vs. Top Decile)15:34 – Chart 13-15: TVPI over time (Median, Top Quartile, Top Decile)16:50 – Why 3x net is a Top 10% goal, not Top Quartile17:15 – Chart 17: DPI (Money back to investors)18:26 – Chart 18: The psychology of liquidity (DPI > $1)20:01 – The broad venture context: Fundraising improves20:48 – Chart 20: The persistence of bridge rounds21:48 – Chart 21: Down rounds are decreasing23:04 – Are fund marks based on SAFEs?

Śrīla Prabhupāda once said something that stuck in my mind. He said, “You have to cheat death before death cheats you.” And for those who are financial accountants (I don't know if there are any other kinds, I guess there are).we know the tax codes. Generally speaking, rich people don't have anything. If you look at their financials, you'll see they look like they don't own anything. They fly in jets that are not theirs. They live in an apartment that is not theirs. They have a huge fund of money, but that belongs to the company. “They don't have anything.” So, how much tax do they pay, Accountants? Zero! Because they don't have anything. This is the idea of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, in one sense also: I don't have anything. It's all Kṛṣṇa's. And whatever I hold on to will be taken, and then I'm cheated by the process of material nature, but if I preemptively donate it all to Kṛṣṇa, whatever I have, it all belongs to Kṛṣṇa. Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura talks about this: "manasa deho geho jo kichu mor." He is saying, "All this stuff—house, what else does he name? My mind, my family—donated. It all belongs to Kṛṣṇa." Then that's reality, and one is situated properly. Bhaktivinoda is also saying, "jīv kṛṣṇa dās e biśvas korle to ār duḥkha nai." If you want to be free from unhappinéss, then just preemptively sign everything off to Kṛṣṇa. Say, "it all belongs to Kṛṣṇa, and I'm just a servant. I just work here, but nothing is mine."

Timothy shares how athletics helped him survive a violent childhood, and why muscle mass, heart strength, and metabolic health are the real longevity markers that add quality years. We break down his Fitness Quadrant (training, cardio, recovery, and nutrition), the science behind resistance training, and practical ways to create a preemptive plan that pushes back against aging. If you're 40–75 and tired of watered-down “fitspo,” this episode offers a clear, no-nonsense blueprint to get strong, stay mobile, and live with intent. About the guest : Timothy Ward is a global performance coach and author of The GOAT Within. Drawing on three decades in exercise science and coaching—from everyday professionals to elite athletes—he designs custom, science-based programs that integrate resistance training, cardiovascular conditioning, recovery, and nutrition. Key takeaways : The three longevity markers: preserve and (ideally) increase muscle mass, develop heart strength, and improve metabolic efficiency through targeted training and nutrition. Muscle is metabolic “engine”: resistance training (bands, bodyweight, dumbbells, cables, barbells) preserves mobility, bone density, and insulin sensitivity. Heart strength matters: calculated cardio can thicken the left ventricular wall, lower resting heart rate, and improve circulation. Metabolic strength: reduce ultra-processed foods, industrial seed oils, and additives; prioritize protein, whole foods, fiber, and smart fueling. Preemptive beats reactive: start in your 20s–30s if you can; in your 40s–60s, learn the fundamentals and create a weekly, adequate (not minimal) program. The Fitness Quadrant: training + cardio + recovery + nutrition—customized to your current condition—beats one-size-fits-all plans. Mind–body loop: consistent physical training improves mood, resilience, and mental clarity, not just physique. Strategy over willpower: knowledge, structure, and progressive overload change the trajectory more reliably than “motivation.” Connect with the guest Website: fitnessquadrant.net Book: The GOAT Within on Amazon Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
