Out of order awesomeness... Which luxury and/or exotic cars are preferred by crooks and food-stamp fraudsters (by brand - Ferarris and Lambos and Porsches, oh my) - and what your car behavior says about you (publicly, on gov't docs, you fool), why trusting Door Dash randos to not film you passed out through a closed door and then go full tick-tocking victim-voyeur is probably a bridge too far (invite the worst and you'll get it) and why there's an entire generation that deserves the Ray Liotta prison-island treatment, and the sad death of a (and some fun history about) the first-generation Toyota Rav4. There's also a warning from the Gearhead Consultancy: when you're having fun at less-sanctioned small-scale car-guy gatherings like a bit of crawling, an illegal street race or a monster truck event in Colombia, keeping your head on a swivel is not optional - what keeps you safe is YOU. All that, plus project pouncing (let the geek ride!), Led Zeppelin, battle-driving and coyotes in Chi-town, Bigfoot and friends (El Squatcho and attack avocados - real or just underdiscovered?), and wearing pants for the neighbors.

Last week, Strategy overtook BlackRock, issuer of the world's largest bitcoin exchange-traded fund, IBIT, to become the world's largest institutional holder of bitcoin. The milestone followed yet another enormous purchase: between April 13 and April 19, according to a recent Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Strategy bought $2.54 billion worth of bitcoin, its largest acquisition since November 2024. The purchase brought the company's total holdings to 815,061 BTC—about 3.88% of bitcoin's fixed 21 million supply—currently worth around $65 billion. The only larger holder is thought to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the elusive founder of the cryptocurrency who disappeared 15 years ago. The funding for Strategy's latest bitcoin buying spree is not coming from flooding the market with common shares or convertible debt, but mainly from what traders affectionately call “Stretch,” a high-yield perpetual preferred stock the company has been issuing under the symbol STRC. Saylor, Strategy's chairman, has been touting Stretch as the critical underpinning of the next phase of his bitcoin empire. From 2020 through 2024, Strategy financed its bitcoin binge largely by selling convertible notes and issuing common stock. It was a shrewd display of financial engineering while it lasted. As bitcoin climbed and investors bid Strategy shares to eye-popping premiums over the value of the company's underlying bitcoin, Saylor could keep issuing more bonds convertible into stock and selling common shares to hedge funds and other investors anticipating a windfall. At points, the stock traded at two to three times the value of bitcoin on its balance sheet. By Nina Bambysheva, Deputy Editor Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode Jess explores the complexities of procurement, including bids, tenders and preferred supplier agreements. If you've been looking at these as a shortcut to big contracts Jess shares the competitive realities of these processes and why they are rarely the 'easy win' they appear to be. With many decision makers often out of the office throughout the summer months it's vital to prioritise the right business development activities and tighten up your sales strategy so tune in to learn why a sharp strategy in May is your best defense against a quiet July Key Topics Definitions and Distinctions Learn what preferred supplier agreements, bids, and tenders actually are 14:14 Differentiates between: Preferred supplier agreements (agreements to be a first point of call, often at a discount) 15:07 Tenders (organisations inviting suppliers to quote for a specific value/project) 17:20 Bids (suppliers' direct response/proposal to tenders) 19:15 Where to Find Bids, Tenders, and PSAs Understanding of public sector portals, government and council websites for sourcing 20:16 Explains why a business model built solely on price-cutting and competitive bids often fails to scale 21:21 Challenges and Realities of Bids and Tenders Highlights the extreme competitiveness of the environment 23:15 Explains that not all organisations use their PSAs or tender lists exclusively-sometimes specialist suppliers are needed 25:02 Notes that organisations use tender/bid processes for benchmarking, sometimes wasting suppliers' time 26:36 Points out how established relationships and proactive business development often influence selection 27:21 Lack of Control and Time Investment Describes the lengthy, uncertain, and often frustrating processes for suppliers 29:44 Emphasises the value of control in one's sales process versus passive, unreliable pipeline building 30:20 Explains the restrictions of PSA agreements (e.g. often cannot proactively contact decision makers) 31:02 Surprising Complexity vs. Perceived Ease Discusses the hidden work involved and misconceptions perpetuated both by proponents and internal procurement teams 32:41 Describes frequent delays, shifting requirements, and unpredictability 33:41 Strategic Perspective for Coaches, Consultants, Speakers, and Trainers Advises listeners to approach bids and tenders with eyes wide open 35:12 Explains why controlling the sales process is more stable, consultative, and ultimately preferable 36:19 Endorses using bids/tenders as a bonus, not a core sales strategy-unless there's an established relationship 37:04 Encourages proactive business development over reliance on tenders/PSAs 38:17 Key Quotes "Just because those organisations have preferred supplier lists... doesn't mean that that is always who they end up using." 24:45 "If you don't have that relationship, prior knowledge... it's really, really difficult to get that signed off." 30:28 "Go in eyes wide open... treat unsolicited bid submissions like a lottery ticket-a possible bonus, but not a reliable strategy for predictable income." 38:08 In some cases, being on a preferred supplier agreement even restricts your ability to network internally within an organisation, limiting future opportunities and risking removal from the agreement if rules are broken 32:04. The "easy win" of PSAs or tenders is usually an illusion; substantial effort, little control, high competition, and unpredictable returns are the norm 33:41.

The $290 million Kelp DAO hack, attributed to North Korea's Lazarus Group, has DeFi TVL down $13 billion in 48 hours. Do DeFi's foundational assumptions need to change? --- Heads up! If you haven't yet, be sure to subscribe to Bits + Bips, since the show will migrate there in a few weeks. Follow us on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, X, Unchained and wherever you get your podcasts. ---- DeFi TVL fell from $99.5 to $86.3 billion in 48 hours after the $290 million Kelp DAO exploit — the latest nine-figure attack attributed to North Korea's Lazarus Group, this time via a compromised Layer Zero bridge. Meanwhile, a new class of yield-bearing instrument is staking a claim on capital fleeing private credit: Apyx's APY USD, backed by Strategy's STRC preferred stock, launched on Kraken this week with a 12% yield target and $180 million in supply after just seven weeks. Is STRC-backed yield a legitimate financial primitive, or a Bitcoin derivative with extra steps? And as DeFi absorbs yet another devastating security failure, is the industry's core assumption — that incoming transactions should be treated as legitimate — finally due for an overhaul? Austin Campbell, Ram Ahluwalia, and Chris Perkins dig in with Parker White of Apyx and Michael Bentley of Euler.

In this episode of Peachtree Corners Life, host Rico Figliolini sits down with Kristie Onorato, a longtime art educator at Wesleyan School, to explore the intersection of creativity, teaching, and personal artistic practice. Kristie shares her journey from studying art education at Ohio State to teaching across grade levels before finding her home at Wesleyan, where she has spent the past 15 years inspiring students through art.The conversation dives into how creativity is developed, why problem-solving is central to the artistic process, and how Kristie encourages students to embrace imperfection and pivot when things don't go as planned. She also discusses her own artistic work, sources of inspiration, from travel to everyday life, and what it means to create and let go of deeply personal pieces as she prepares for the Wesleyan Artist Market. Resources:Wesleyan Artist Market: https://www.artistmarket.wesleyanschool.org/Wesleyan School: https://www.wesleyanschool.org5 Key TakeawaysCreativity is universal—not optionalCreativity isn't reserved for artists. It shows up in problem-solving, communication, business, and everyday life. As Kristie puts it, we're all wired to create.The process matters more than the outcomeStudents learn more from how they think, adapt, and reflect than from the final piece they produce. The journey shapes the mindset.Problem-solving is at the core of creativityArt teaches resilience—things go wrong, and you don't start over, you adjust. That mindset carries directly into real life.Inspiration is everywhere—if you're open to itFrom travel to everyday observations, creativity comes from awareness. The key is being in the right mindset to notice it.Letting go is part of the creative journeyWhether it's finishing a piece or selling it, artists have to release their work—even when it's personal.

Brad Briner, North Carolina state treasurer, and Alex Mullineaux, Aledade regional market president, join Josh Israel, MD, and Sean Cavanaugh to discuss the state health plan's new preferred provider strategy. The goal of this approach is to improve patient health outcomes and reduce costs by connecting patients with clinicians that have a proven record of high-quality, cost-effective care. Treasurer Briner and Alex share how this strategy came about, the benefits for patients and how North Carolina hopes to scale the plan in the future. In phase one, the state health plan approved partnerships with three networks to support this initiative, including Aledade.
Last week, The Guardian reported that United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio has directed American embassies and consulates to counter foreign propaganda. Notably, the cable apparently endorses Elon Musk's X as an “innovative” tool to help do it, even as it directs diplomats to coordinate with the US military's psychological operations unit to counter what the administration deems as disinformation. Today's guest is Kate Klonick, a law professor at St. John's University and a senior editor at Lawfare. In a piece on Lawfare last week, Klonick says that the State Department issuing a formal cable endorsing a specific social media platform for use in its messaging—and doing so in the same document that it encourages collaboration with military psychological operations—would have been nearly unthinkable until recent months. But it's just the latest in a series of developments that suggest Elon Musk's X is regarded as the preferred tool of the state. Let's jump right in.
(The Center Square) - Fewer businesses that get diversity-related government priority in Illinois are getting contracts with the state, according to a new annual report from the agency, after a long-running computer problem thwarted efforts to increase those contracts. About 1,500 businesses that are owned by racial minorities, women and people with disabilities were paid by the state for construction and other service contracts in this past fiscal year. That figure -- contained in the Illinois Commission on Equity and Inclusion's recent annual report -- is a 9-percent decrease from the prior year. And it happened even though state lawmakers have devoted millions of dollars in recent years to support the businesses. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Scott interviews Patrick Pillow about Anatomy of a Regime Change, the series he's writing on the so-called Color Revolutions. While Iraq and Afghanistan get the most attention, the majority of Washington-backed regime change attempts since the end of the Cold War have taken the form of these CIA-organized political revolutions. Scott and Pillow walk through the specifics of several examples and discuss the importance of this often overlooked aspect of American foreign policy.

Stassi and Taylor kick things off talking fashion—Taylor's all in on the new Abercrombie while Stassi isn't totally convinced yet. They catch up on life, from Stassi heading to New York and feeling mom guilt about leaving Beau and the kids, to the humbling reality of being the non-preferred parent. After baby Beau happily coos for everyone except her, the two bond over how rough it is when you're trying your best and still not the favorite.
