Lameness is the most common cause of poor performance in equine athletes, and researchers have shown that many behavioral issues under saddle are caused by physical pain. Proactive treatment strategies can help extend your horse's competitive career and improve his overall well-being. During this Ask TheHorse Live Q&A, two experts will answer questions about equine performance problems and how veterinarians prevent and treat them.Brought to you by Arthramid. About the Experts: Beau Whitaker, DVM, CERP, grew up near Nashville, Tennessee on his family's farm, developing a love for horses and livestock. He obtained a degree in Animal Science from Oklahoma State University, in Stillwater, after which he trained quarter horses in Gainesville, Texas for a short time. Whitaker graduated from Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine, in College Station, in 2005. Whitaker moved to Salado, Texas, and joined Dr. T's Equine Clinic in 2007 (which later became Brazos Valley Equine Hospitals-Salado) where he established a busy lameness and sports medicine part of the clinic. He received his CERP in 2014 from the University of Tennessee, in Knoxville. Whitaker enjoys drawing, the outdoors, and spending time with his family when not working with horses.James D. Conway III, DVM, is the Director of Veterinary Professional Services with Contura Vet. Conway has been an industry veterinarian for the past eight years. Prior to his role in industry, he served as an associate veterinarian at a large regional referral lameness and rehab facility in north Texas. Conway is a 2012 graduate of Colorado State University Veterinary School, in Fort Collins, where he was heavily involved with equine stifle and condylar fracture research.

Immunic Inc (NASDAQ:IMUX) CEO Dr Daniel Vitt talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's third-quarter highlights, with a particular focus on the progress of its oral MS treatment, vidofludimus calcium. Dr Vitt noted the company had a strong presence at the 2025 ECTRIMS conference, presenting important new data from several clinical studies. These included results from the phase 2 CALLIPER study, which showed a statistically significant effect on confirmed disability improvement, and promising data in primary progressive MS patients showing a numerical benefit in slowing disability worsening. He also referenced findings from the EMPhASIS phase 2 open-label extension trial. According to Vitt, “144 weeks later, still 92.3% of the patients were free of 12-week confirmed disability worsening,” highlighting the durability of the drug's effects and its favorable safety and tolerability profile. Discussing the upcoming ENSURE phase 3 trials in relapsing MS, Vitt explained the company is targeting statistically significant results on the primary endpoint of time to first relapse, with topline data expected in 2026. Secondary endpoints aim to confirm the drug's neuroprotective potential. He also pointed to recently granted US patents, which strengthen commercial protection for vidofludimus calcium in both relapsing and progressive MS, potentially extending exclusivity beyond 2041.

EnergyPathways PLC (AIM:EPP) CEO Ben Clube talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's progress on its MESH hydrogen and graphite project, including engineering work now underway with partners KBR and Hazer. The company is advancing a methane pyrolysis-based hydrogen production plant that also yields graphite as a valuable by-product. Clube said the technology offers a “low-cost form of producing hydrogen,” which the company believes can be delivered at a fraction of the cost of green hydrogen via electrolysis. The discussion covered how KBR and Hazer will now undertake engineering design work for the hydrogen and graphite facilities. According to Clube, the hydrogen produced could serve two key markets: low-carbon ammonia production — a capability the UK currently lacks following the closure of its last ammonia facility — and hydrogen-to-power applications within the broader MESH project. He noted that the UK presents an opportunity to establish domestic industrial capacity for both hydrogen and low-carbon ammonia. Clube also highlighted the scale and strategic importance of the graphite by-product. EnergyPathways is targeting output of 60,000 tonnes per year. With the UK producing none of its own graphite and classifying it as a critical mineral, Clube emphasised that the company can offer a domestic supply solution. The company expects concept design studies to conclude early next year, with the MESH components targeted for operation in 2030 in line with UK clean-power ambitions.

Oriole Resources PLC (AIM:ORR) CEO Martin Rosser talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's successful £1.8 million capital raise and how the funds will support key gold exploration activities in Cameroon. Rosser confirmed a £1.8 million placing and a further £200,000 retail offer, both priced at the previous day's closing bid with warrants attached. "We're delighted that we've announced a £1.8 million placing today and a further retail offer... not being done at a discount," he said. Institutional participation, particularly from RAB Capital, which now holds a 2.1% stake, was described as a strong endorsement. Rosser highlighted that institutional backing is “vital if we are to grow the value of Oriole for the benefit of all shareholders.” The proceeds will fund the MB01-N drilling campaign, aimed at converting an existing exploration target of 372,000 to 605,000 ounces of gold into JORC-compliant resources. Further work is planned at MB01-S and across nearby licences - Pokor, Ndom and Tenekou - all within the same regional trend. Funds will also support surface sampling and advanced studies at the Bibemi project to back its exploitation license application. Rosser described the upcoming program as a "busy and productive time" with significant news flow expected. Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more company interviews and updates.

Meren Energy Inc (TSX:MER, OTCQX:MRNFF) investor relations manager Shahin Amini talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's third-quarter results, highlighting the strategic and financial significance of its Prime Oil & Gas amalgamation. Amini described the deal as “transformational,” saying it doubled the company's reserves and production base. Importantly, it also gave Meren full control over financial decision-making at Prime, which holds key assets in Nigeria, including the Agbami, Egina, and Akpo fields operated by Chevron and TotalEnergies. He confirmed that Meren has declared its fourth quarterly dividend for 2025, totalling approximately $25 million and bringing the full-year distribution to $100 million. The company also reduced its outstanding OPL debt facility as part of its strategy to maintain a robust balance sheet and minimize interest expenses. Discussing growth, Amini said: “We try to secure our organic growth opportunities without stretching the balance sheet.” He pointed to Namibia's Venus development, where TotalEnergies will fund Meren's share through to first production, as a prime example. Looking ahead to 2026, Amini highlighted exploration opportunities in Namibia, South Africa, and Equatorial Guinea, noting that success in these regions could be transformational for the company's reserve base and future production outlook.

New Era Energy & Digital CEO Will Gray joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's ongoing transformation from a conventional helium and natural gas operator into a next-generation AI infrastructure and power solutions leader. Gray emphasized that the company's third-quarter financial results reflect not a slowdown in traditional operations, but a deliberate and strategic redeployment of capital toward high-value digital infrastructure. Gray explained that New Era is heavily investing in the development of its powered shell data centers in Odessa, Texas, a region increasingly recognized as a prime location for energy-intensive AI and high-performance computing deployments. The CEO noted that constructing these facilities requires sophisticated planning, major engineering work, and significant capital, with build-out costs ranging from $8 million to $12 million per megawatt—a level of investment consistent with global hyperscale data-center economics. Reflecting on the company's early pivot into behind-the-meter power solutions, Gray recalled the initial skepticism New Era faced when it began positioning itself ahead of the AI-infrastructure boom. “We were laughed at a year ago… now that's all anyone's talking about,” he said, highlighting how industry sentiment has since shifted as grid constraints and soaring power demand become central issues across North America. Gray confirmed that New Era is currently in active discussions with multiple potential tenants, including major technology operators evaluating the company's West Texas assets. However, he emphasized the rigorous due-diligence process required for hyperscale and AI-compute clients, who assess power reliability, infrastructure scalability, and long-term energy economics before committing to multi-year leases. On the financing front, Gray made it clear that New Era's build-out will be funded primarily through institutional and asset-level project financing, rather than relying heavily on equity raises. This approach, he said, is designed to protect shareholders from unnecessary dilution while generating compelling returns from long-term data-center revenue streams. Gray added that New Era's strategy—combining energy-sector expertise, behind-the-meter power, and a high-growth digital infrastructure model—has attracted the attention of tier-one financial institutions, private credit providers, and major technology firms, all of whom are seeking scalable power solutions for AI and high-performance computing. #proactiveinvestors #neweraheliuminc #nasdaq #nuai #oil #gas #perimianbasin #HeliumProduction #NaturalGas #DataCenters #AIInfrastructure #PecosSlope #VerticalIntegration #EnergyMarkets #PermianBasin #Semiconductors #PowerGeneration #ProactiveInvestors

PT Asset Management CEO Sean Dranfield talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about navigating the current interest rate environment through the company's Performance Trust Total Return Bond UCITS ETF. Dranfield outlined how the fund is outperforming its benchmark despite recent market headwinds, attributing this success to a deliberate balance of offensive and defensive allocations. “We're trying to source total return from these nontraditional sources,” he said, noting the unpredictability of interest rates as a key consideration in their approach. He highlighted that elevated yield levels across the curve make today's bond market a more compelling environment than in previous years. On the offensive side, Dranfield pointed to the steepness of the yield curve—particularly in the 20-year Treasury and municipal bond space—as an underappreciated driver of total return that traditional yield and duration metrics often miss. On the defensive end, he noted that interest-only commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and very short investment-grade corporates offer yield without significant rate risk. These instruments help the fund remain rate-agnostic while still targeting total returns in the 5% to 6% range. Dranfield also expressed concern about tight spreads in investment-grade corporates, prompting the team to look elsewhere for opportunities with better risk-reward dynamics. “There are some really interesting opportunities both offensively and defensively right now,” he noted.

Millennial Potash Chairman Farhad Abasov joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's support for the U.S. Geological Survey's decision to add potash to the 2025 List of Critical Minerals, recognizing its strategic importance to global food security and supply chain resilience. Abasov said the inclusion underscores growing international efforts to diversify supply and reduce reliance on dominant producers such as Canada, Russia, and Belarus. Potash is a vital agricultural input used in fertilizer production, essential for maintaining crop yields and global food supply stability. Millennial also highlighted a recent Financial Times report referencing the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation's (DFC) commitment of US$3 million in project development funding for Millennial's Banio Potash Project in Gabon. The funding is aimed at supporting feasibility studies and de-risking the project, with the potential to unlock additional U.S. financing in the future. The DFC, a U.S. government agency that supports private-sector initiatives in developing regions, has invested approximately US$13 billion across 300 projects in 26 Sub-Saharan African countries. Located on Gabon's Atlantic coast, the Banio Project offers direct shipping access to key markets in the United States, Brazil, and Africa. A Preliminary Economic Assessment released in April 2024 outlined an after-tax NPV (10%) of US$1.07 billion and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 32.6%, based on operating costs of US$61 per ton of granular potash. Abasov added that a revised mineral resource estimate is currently in progress, following recent drilling that revealed potash-rich horizons up to 100 meters thick, further underscoring the project's large-scale potential. #proactiveinvestors #millennialpotahscorp #tsxv #mlp #otcqb #mlpnf #potash #CriticalMinerals #Potash #USGeologicalSurvey #FertilizerIndustry #USDFC #FoodSecurity #ResourceEstimates #MiningNews #GabonProjects #ProactiveInvestors

Pinnacle Silver and Gold CEO Robert Archer joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share results from new sampling at the historic La Dura mine within the company's high-grade El Potrero gold-silver project in Durango, Mexico. Archer said the identification of another gold-silver zone at La Dura has extended the mineralized strike length along the Dos de Mayo vein structure to nearly 500 metres, significantly expanding the project's potential. The newly defined zone remains open, with large gaps between the three principal mines—Pinos Cuates, Dos de Mayo, and La Dura—which have yet to be drill tested. Notably, the Dos de Mayo vein has never been previously drilled, marking a key exploration opportunity. The La Dura mine consists of a main adit following the vein for roughly 60 metres along strike northwest of the portal, plus two smaller adits about 10 metres above and to the southeast, collectively referred to as La Dura 2. Compared to the more developed Pinos Cuates and Dos de Mayo mines, La Dura has seen limited underground work, with 146 of 722 total underground samples on the project taken there. Of those, 40 samples were collected from the two small adits, including six composite channel samples along an exposed 12-metre strike length. Results returned an average width of 1.3 metres and average grades of 1.98 g/t gold and 98 g/t silver, with individual samples up to 4.51 g/t gold and 269 g/t silver over 0.5 metres. Very fine visible gold was observed in several locations. Archer noted that given only 12 metres of the mineralized zone is currently exposed, there is strong potential for expansion through further underground development and future drilling. He added that these preliminary grades at La Dura 2 are consistent with other low-sulphidation epithermal systems in Mexico and reinforce the high-grade nature of the El Potrero project. #proactiveinvestors #pinnaclesilverandgoldcrp #robertarcher #tsxv #pinn #otc #psgcf #GoldMining #SilverMining #Metallurgy #ElPotrero #PinnacleSilverGold #MiningProjects #ResourceDevelopment #MiningMexico #MiningNews #GoldRecovery

Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has received full regulatory and ethical approvals in the United Kingdom to expand its ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating its Doxorubicin Microneedle Array technology for the non-invasive treatment of basal cell carcinoma of the skin. The study, known as SKNJCT-003, is already underway across nine clinical sites in the United States and will now broaden to include additional sites in the U.K., following this latest approval milestone. Dr. Bokhari explained that approvals were issued by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency , the Health Research Authority (HRA), and the Wales Research Ethics Committee. The MHRA's authorization came after a comprehensive scientific review of the Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier and clinical protocol, while WREC issued a favorable ethical opinion. The HRA subsequently granted study-wide governance approval, confirming full compliance with U.K. Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and National Health Service (NHS) capacity and capability standards. The Phase 2 trial is designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study enrolling up to 90 patients with BCC. It aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two dose levels of D-MNA compared to a placebo control. Participants will be randomized into three groups in a 1:1:1 ratio, a placebo-controlled group, a low-dose group, and a high-dose group. Dr. Bokhari highlighted that the 200 μg high-dose level represents the maximum dose previously tested in Medicus Pharma's Phase 1 safety and tolerability study, which was successfully completed in March 2021. The company views the U.K. expansion as a significant step toward advancing its novel microneedle drug delivery platform and potentially transforming the treatment landscape for non-melanoma skin cancers through a minimally invasive, localized therapy that may reduce the need for surgery and improve patient outcomes. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #Biotech #CancerTreatment #ClinicalTrials #FDAApproval #SkinCancer #HealthcareInnovation #Investing #MedicalResearch #SkinCancer #BasalCellCarcinoma #BiotechNews #CancerResearch #GorlinSyndrome #BasalCellCarcinoma #CompassionateUse #FDAApproval #RareDiseaseTreatment #NoninvasiveTherapy #BiotechNews

Ideal Power CEO David Somo joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's third-quarter results for the period ended September 30, 2025, highlighting recent achievements and his strategic vision as he steps into the leadership role. Somo, who officially assumed the position of CEO just eight days ago, shared his early impressions and outlined plans to guide Ideal Power into its next phase of growth and commercialization. With more than 30 years of semiconductor industry experience, including senior executive roles at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Onsemi, Somo brings deep operational and market expertise to the company. Describing his management approach, Somo emphasized his hands-on leadership style, stating, “I'm not coaching from up in the rafters. I like to be in the game.” He noted that Ideal Power's culture of innovation and agility will be key as it scales production and strengthens its commercial partnerships. Somo underscored how the company's patented B-TRAN® technology is well aligned with major global megatrends, including the shift in electric vehicle (EV) and data center architectures from 400 volts to 800 volts and growing power demands across energy grids worldwide. These changes are driving demand for more efficient, compact, and higher-performing power semiconductor devices, positioning Ideal Power to capitalize on a rapidly evolving market. Reflecting on the company's recent momentum, Somo acknowledged the progress made under previous leadership and highlighted Ideal Power's ongoing transition into commercialization, with multiple customer engagements currently in development. These applications span circuit protection, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and inverters, representing diverse opportunities across industrial and energy markets. He also stressed the importance of maintaining a global operational footprint, noting that Ideal Power continues to collaborate with customers and partners across Asia, North America, and Europe. This distributed approach supports both R&D advancement and scalable supply chain capabilities. Somo said his immediate focus will be on meeting with key stakeholders—including employees, customers, suppliers, and investors—to reinforce alignment and establish a disciplined operating cadence to support execution and accountability. Ideal Power recently achieved a design win and purchase order from Stellantis, one of the world's largest automotive manufacturers, marking a key milestone as the company builds momentum heading into 2026. Somo concluded that these advancements mark a pivotal stage for Ideal Power, as it positions B-TRAN® as a transformative semiconductor technology driving the next generation of innovation in automotive electrification, renewable energy systems, and advanced power management. #proactiveinvestors #idealpowerinc #nasdaq #ipwr #EVTechnology #Davidsomo #Stellantis #SemiconductorInnovation #SymCool #ElectricVehicles #BTRAN #EnergyStorage #ProactiveInvestors #SolidStateCircuitBreakers #ElectricVehicles #Stellantis #EVTech #PowerElectronics #CleanEnergy #TechInnovation #ProactiveInvestors

First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share that the company is welcoming the Government of Canada's $57.6 million investment to construct a second wharf at the Port of Saguenay, Quebec. The new wharf will be located directly adjacent to First Phosphate's planned phosphoric acid plant, a strategic placement that will enhance the company's export logistics and support the efficient transportation of future phosphate concentrate, phosphoric acid, and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) products to markets across North America, Europe, and beyond. Passalacqua noted that the announcement underscores the federal government's commitment to advancing Canada's critical minerals infrastructure and coincides with the recent visit by Tim Hodgson, Canada's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, to Port Saguenay. The CEO also highlighted that First Phosphate has recently finalized an industrial land option agreement with Port Saguenay, securing the site for the company's planned phosphoric acid plant. The facility will utilize advanced clean technology licensed from Prayon SA of Belgium and will be engineered and implemented by Ballestra S.p.A. of Italy, both leaders in global chemical process design and execution. This milestone also follows significant policy developments in the U.S., where the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, acting through the U.S. Geological Survey, has added phosphate to the Final 2025 List of Critical Minerals. The decision—based on recommendations from the Departments of Energy, Defense, and Agriculture—aligns the United States with Canada, South Korea, the European Union, and the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, all of which have formally recognized phosphate as an essential mineral for energy transition and food security. Passalacqua said this alignment between Canadian and U.S. policy frameworks reinforces First Phosphate's position as a key contributor to the North American LFP battery materials supply chain and supports the company's goal of building a fully integrated, clean, and secure phosphate production ecosystem in Quebec. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqx #frspf #frspf #phosphate #CriticalMinerals #BatteryMaterials #LFPCathode #FirstPhosphate #CanadaMining #GreenEnergy #SupplyChain #QuebecMining #EVBatteries #dod

Quantum Blockchain Technologies PLC (AIM:QBT) CEO Francesco Gardin talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest breakthrough — a software-only version of Method C AI Oracle, which enhances Bitcoin mining efficiency without requiring hardware changes. Gardin explained that this new version allows the integration of Oracle at the operating system level of mining rigs. “The energy required is the same… but the number of quality hashes… is higher,” he said, referring to their lab-tested 10% improvement in mining efficiency. This advancement significantly reduces the time-to-market from 18 months to just a few weeks, enabling miners to implement upgrades much faster than traditional ASIC-based improvements. Gardin noted that their method increases "quality hashing" — a performance measure based on hash difficulty rather than speed alone. He added that all major ASIC manufacturers they've approached are receptive to testing the Oracle directly on their own machines, as QBT is not prepared to disclose proprietary details. Testing is currently being performed on legacy S9 miners as a proof of concept, and Gardin is in Dallas attending the Mining Disrupt conference to advance commercial discussions. With implementation timelines of 4–6 weeks once a machine is received, Gardin highlighted that companies lagging behind market leader Bitmain view Oracle as a potential opportunity to close the competitive gap.

Tertiary Minerals PLC (AIM:TYM, OTC:TTIRF) managing director Richard Belcher talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest phase of drilling at the Mushima North Project, where the company has recorded encouraging early copper and silver results from Target A1. Belcher said the team managed to complete four holes before heavier-than-expected rains halted the ten-hole programme, but he emphasised that “these are fantastic results for us,” highlighting an interval of 95m at 0.41% copper from just 10m below surface. Tertiary said the portable XRF readings delivered the strongest copper values the company has seen from the project so far, with visible copper mineralisation observed throughout the drill chips. Laboratory assays, which will include silver results, are now pending. Belcher explained that the early findings support previous drilling and expand the known mineralised footprint, which already measures 450m by 400m. Belcher also discussed the company's decision to accelerate work on a JORC exploration target during the rainy season. He said this will provide a useful range of tonnes and grades and will guide the next steps as the company progresses toward its goal of defining a maiden resource in 2026. Looking ahead, Tertiary expects assay results, further mineralogical studies, and discussions around potential joint ventures across the wider Zambian portfolio to form the key milestones through late 2025 and into 2026.

Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSX-V:GMG, OTCQX:GMGMF) managing director and CEO Craig Nicol talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest milestone — a commercial collaboration with global HVAC distributor Beijer Ref. Nicol said the agreement marks a key step in deploying GMG's graphene-based coating technology across the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC-R) sector. Starting mid-November, Beijer Ref customers in Australia will be able to opt for the coating on condenser and evaporator coolers. "This is a big time milestone for the company for actually graphene coating and also for the air conditioning industry," Nicol noted. The rollout will cover Beijer Ref's 73 Australian locations. Nicol said the partnership offers customers energy efficiency benefits and a five-year warranty when applied by certified contractors. He added that GMG's Spray Academy, now running both in-person and online training, is crucial to ensuring consistent application standards. Nicol also outlined how GMG's coating fits into broader energy efficiency goals. With 24% of Australia's electricity usage linked to air conditioning, and grid strain during peak heat driven by inefficient units, GMG's solution targets significant reductions in power demand. Over time, GMG hopes to expand the rollout to additional countries and partners.

ACG Metals Ltd (LSE:ACG, OTC:ACGAF) chairman and CEO Artem Volynets talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the release of a scoping study that showed how the company can generate up to $300 million in free cash flow from high-grade waste at its Gediktepe project using a SART (Sulphidisation, Acidification, Recycling, and Thickening) plant. “It's very simple. You process waste,” he said. “With a little bit of investment… we add very significant cash flow and NAV because we do not have mining cost — this stuff has already been mined out.” The news followed the company's oversubscribed $15 million capital raise and the strong market response to its Enriched Ore Treatment Project. Volynets noted that the project requires minimal capital expenditure — $39 million across two phases — and could add $200 million in net asset value, a 60% uplift. The technology is described as low-risk and already proven in Turkey, and the company is targeting first cash flows by the end of next year. Looking ahead, Volynets said a key milestone will be achieving commercial production of copper and zinc concentrates from the sulphide layer by mid-next year, while also continuing M&A activity.

Giyani Metals Corp (TSX-V:EMM, OTC:CATPF) chief development officer Sean Thijsse talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's recent milestone in producing high-purity manganese sulfate monohydrate (HPMSM) at its demonstration plant in Johannesburg. Thijsse described this achievement as a “big leap forward” in the commercialization of its manganese project, adding that “our potential offtake partners have been waiting for” this product. The demo plant also delivered key technical insights that will help optimize the full-scale design for the definitive feasibility study (DFS), expected by the end of Q1 2026. He highlighted that the company has successfully completed Phase 1 of a three-phase qualification program with US battery tech firm Charge CCCV (C4V). The initial testing showed that Giyani's HPMSM product delivered performance “remarkably consistent” with C4V's baseline cathode material. The company is now progressing to more advanced phases of cell testing over the coming months. Alongside this, Giyani is also supplying material to multiple offtake partners and is seeing positive feedback. Thijsse also discussed the strategic benefit of offering both HPMSM and HPMO (high-purity manganese oxide), which allows flexibility across different battery chemistries. Over the next 6–12 months, investors can expect updates on the DFS, offtake agreements, project finance, and early infrastructure work in Botswana.

Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ) senior associate Matteo Greco talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about how institutional demand for regulated crypto investment products is holding steady, even amid broader market volatility. Greco noted that although the overall crypto market value declined by 5.5% in October, crypto ETP assets only dipped by 2.5%, highlighting a shift in appetite among traditional finance players. “The demand for crypto ETP products still remains somewhat stronger compared to the underlying itself,” he said. Bitcoin ETPs, in particular, have held their ground and now account for around 7% of total Bitcoin supply. According to Greco, the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. in early 2024 opened access for larger capital bases, significantly boosting institutional involvement. He also mentioned treasury plays and unlisted funds as additional vehicles contributing to institutional holdings. On Ethereum, Greco explained that its ETP assets saw nearly 90% growth this year, as investors seek to diversify after gains in Bitcoin. “There's been a rotation and a higher demand on Ethereum,” he said, underscoring Ethereum's rising credibility in traditional finance. He also addressed the recent trend of investors shifting from altcoin-specific products toward basket ETPs that include Bitcoin and Ethereum, citing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties as driving a "flight to quality."

Andy explains how chronic and acute stress shorten careers and lives, why proactive — not just reactive — wellness matters, and how simple, practical programs (fitness, nutrition, hands-on skills, mindset, and relationships) reduce sick time, complaints, and burnout. He also shares concrete training ideas, how to build cultural buy-in from the top and the shift level, and what leaders can do today to start changing their agencies. Episode: First Responder Wellness Podcast — Director Andy Wilson on proactive wellness, training, and leadership Host: Conrad Weaver Guest: Director Andy Wilson, Director of Public Safety, State of Ohio Top takeaways Wellness is life-preserving — physical fitness can literally save lives on duty and post-career health. Trauma is layered: critical incidents, day-to-day exposure, and vicarious trauma all accumulate. Proactive wellness (not just reactive counseling after critical incidents) reduces downstream problems. Training must be regular and accessible — skills are perishable. Start small and scale people in. Leaders lead by example — visible participation wins culture change. First step: listen to your people, identify champions, build a modest, measurable pilot, and communicate outcomes to stakeholders.

For Episode 90 of Astonishing Healthcare, Jim Winkler, Chief Strategy Officer at Business Group on Health, joins us in the studio for a lively discussion about the results of their 2026 Employer Health Care Strategy Survey! This annual study is packed with qualitative and quantitative information and highlights the top trends in employer-sponsored health care. Jim brings decades of experience to the table and puts helpful context around the headline data and employers' expectation for a ~9% year-over-year health care cost increase. He also shares his perspective on the evolution of the role benefits brokers and consultants play, how employers can navigate the rapidly evolving market and inflationary storm, vendor accountability, and how to position difficult decisions around making big changes. Discussion HighlightsCosts are expected to rise 9% in 2026, marking the worst multi-year surge in over a decade; it's another year of healthcare costs rising by more than benefits teams forecasted.Pharmacy's share of the total cost has jumped to 24%, driven by expensive GLP-1 and cancer drugs, and some other new cost drivers include mental health and autoimmune conditions.Proactive employers have been reviewing their data and are optimizing their programs, cutting underused solutions, investing where there's a tangible return, and tightening controls on high-cost treatments.Employers are aggressively scrutinizing partners and exploring alternative PBM and health plan models, as they should be (vendor accountability has become increasingly important over the years) - change is imminent (i.e., expect an acceleration of RFP activity).Additional Resources2025 Employer Well-being Strategy Survey: Executive SummaryBusiness Group on Health - Resources (Surveys, Data, etc.)Related ContentHow employers can take back control of unnecessary pharmacy spendingReplay - Strategic Well-Being: Rethinking Health Benefits to Empower Employees and Drive ImpactSigns it is time to change your PBM vendor, and how to overcome common hesitationsHealth Benefits 101: The Importance of a Transparent PBM ModelFor more content and information about this episode, including the show notes and transcript, please visit Judi Health - Insights.

E346: Men's Silent Struggle: Why the "Tough It Out" Mentality is a Health Crisis | The Prime Podcast It's November, and that means it's Men's Health Month. In this powerful kick-off to a four-part series on men's health, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss of The Prime Podcast tackle the single biggest barrier to wellness for men: the "silent struggle." Why do men avoid talking about their health problems? This episode explores the deep-seated cultural stigma that equates showing pain with weakness. This "tough it out" mentality, often ingrained since childhood, causes men to ignore pain, dismissing it as "background noise" until it leads to a "catastrophic failure." Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie discuss how this unaddressed chronic pain becomes a source of chronic stress, leading to a "disregulated nervous system" that can shut down other vital functions, from GI health to sexual function, and is directly contributing to declining longevity. This episode is a call to action for men to break the silence, become proactive leaders in their family's health, and understand that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Learn how chiropractic care is essential for regulating the emotional nervous system and managing the body's response to chronic stress.   Men's Health Month (Movember): An annual event in November focused on raising awareness for key men's health issues, including mental health, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. Silent Struggle: The widespread tendency for men to suffer from physical or mental health issues in silence, avoiding discussion due to societal pressure or embarrassment. "Tough It Out" Mentality: A cultural belief that men should endure pain without complaint, viewing any admission of pain as a "sign of weakness." Disregulated Nervous System: A state where the body's nervous system is locked in a chronic stress response, often due to unaddressed chronic pain, which negatively impacts all other bodily functions. Proactive vs. Reactive Health: Being proactive means taking preventative steps to maintain wellness, while being reactive is the "tough it out" approach of only seeking care after a "catastrophic failure" (severe pain or disease) occurs. Catastrophic Failure: A term describing the point where the body finally breaks down after ignoring chronic "background noise" pain for years, resulting in a debilitating condition. Key Takeaways: The "tough it out" mentality is a dangerous stigma preventing men from seeking necessary healthcare. Men often ignore chronic pain until it becomes "background noise," which is a sign of a disregulated nervous system. Unaddressed chronic pain and stress can lead to "catastrophic failure" of other organ systems (e.g., GI, heart, sexual function). It is NOT a "sign of weakness" to talk about health issues; it is an essential part of being human and a good leader. Fathers have a crucial role in modeling proactive healthy habits for their children, breaking the "silent struggle" cycle. Chiropractic care helps regulate the emotional nervous system, decrease internal stress, and improve the body's ability to heal. Stop suffering in silence. If you or the men in your life are ignoring health issues, it's time to be proactive. Share this episode and start a conversation.

Orchestrating the Nomad Century: Quotas, New Cities, and the Food Production Revolution. Gaia Vince encourages a proactive vision for managing massive climate-driven migration, involving facing expected heat, enlarging northern cities, and building entirely new ones. Vince provides an optimistic example of a managed migration where a farmer in Gujarat, India, applies for migration and is assigned to Aberdeen, Scotland. She suggests establishing a new United Nations agency with "real teeth" to organize migration among host and origin nations, allocating people via a quota system to specific jobs and areas. To mitigate hostility, migrants would commit to taking jobs in high-need industries for their first few years. A major challenge is food supply, requiring a complete overhaul of global food production, necessitating a shift toward a plant-based diet, as mass meat production is extremely inefficient. Alternative food sources like plant-based meats, insects, and vertical farming in cities are essential. Vince emphasizes the enormous potential for biodiversity restoration if damaged natural landscapes are left alone.
