Robyn Denholm member of Pay CommitteeIn 2024, Tesla experienced its first annual sales decline in nearly a decade, with a 1.1% drop in global deliveries. In April 2025, Chinese automaker BYD surpassed Tesla in European electric vehicle sales for the first time, registering 7,231 units compared to Tesla's 7,165. This shift is attributed to BYD's competitively priced and technologically advanced lineup. Tesla's sales in California, its largest American market, declined in all four quarters of 2024, with Model 3 sales plunging 36% for the year. In 2024, Tesla led all automakers in the U.S. with over 5 million vehicles recalled across 16 separate campaignsIn 2025, Tesla dropped to 95th place out of 100 in the Axios Harris Poll, down from 8th place in 2021In a hidden 10K/A from 4/30/25“Staggering” is from Fox: even more fake anti-capitalist rhetoricScared bro dictatorships: Duolingo deletes its TikTok and Instagram posts amid AI backlashCEO Luis von Ahn, posted a memo on LinkedIn last month describing plans to make the company "AI-first."

Tweets, TikToks, and Reddit posts exploded in outrage. As of Tuesday, Duolingo's social accounts had been wiped — no posts, no icon. Duolingo did not respond to a request for comment.And the one statement that was released by a Duolingo spokesperson, after the account went dark, did not shade much light on the situation (pun intended): “Let's just say we're experimenting with silence. Sometimes, the best way to make noise is to disappear first.”Duolingo CEO says there may still be schools in our AI future, but mostly just for childcareBro dictatorship (76% combined voting power)Co-founder CEO Luis von Ahn (43%); co-founder CTO Severin Hacker (40%)Classified board: why?Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote, and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 20 votesThe worst kind of suck-ups: Verizon ends DEI programs, diversity goals as it seeks approval for Frontier acquisition MMVerizon dumped DEI.

Tune in as Glenn Hunzinger, PwC's Health Industries Leader, connects with Matt Rich, PwC's Pharma and Life Sciences R&D Leader, to unpack the recent disruption at the FDA and what it means for the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors. They discuss how companies can stay agile in the face of regulatory uncertainty, avoid preventable delays, and take practical steps to move programs forward with clarity.Discussion highlights:Ongoing restructuring at the FDA is creating uncertainty and delays in drug and device approvals, with wide-ranging impacts across the pharma, biotech and medtech landscape.While companies can't control the regulatory environment, they can focus on improving internal speed, efficiency, and submission quality to keep programs moving forwardAvoiding preventable missteps, or “foot faults,” in data, endpoints, and submission packages is critical to reducing review delays and regulatory pushbackDiversifying risk by pursuing parallel regulatory pathways in other regions such as Europe and Japan can help accelerate access and reduce dependency on a single agencyIn the absence of a clear playbook, companies should focus on what they can control by applying past lessons, staying disciplined, and collaborating across the industry to support more efficient FDA review processesSpeakers:Matt Rich, PwC's Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences R&D LeaderGlenn Hunzinger, Partner, Health Industries Leader, PwCLinked materials:Navigating the FDA disruption: 4 key actions for pharmaFor more information, please visit us at: https://www.pwc.com/us/en/industries/health-industries/health-research-institute/next-in-health-podcast.html.

We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!Special Guest: Maytee Pereira, Managing Director in PwC's US Customs and International Trade practice Regardless of the flipflops of the Trump administration's trade policies, retailers are operating in the middle of a tariff war. When nations retaliate, executive strategies for tariff-driven disruption are thrown into chaos. Retailers face unprecedented challenges managing the transformation of 10-20 percent blanket tariffs into a complex web of constantly changing country-specific penalties disrupting forecasting, sourcing, and pricing strategies. Maytee Pereira, Managing Director in PwC's US Customs and International Trade practice joins Shelley to help deconstruct tariff inequities. Supercenters can leverage scale to minimize shocks while discount retailers, heavily dependent on Chinese imports, face existential challenges. And small businesses have the toughest road without the deep financial pockets of the megabrands. Shelley and Maytee discuss the stark differences in readiness across sectors; apparel companies with years of experience navigating duties demonstrate remarkable adaptability, while other consumer goods retailers are encountering significant tariff impacts for the first time without tested response playbooks. Listen in and learn how forward-thinking organizations are implementing sophisticated approaches to mitigate tariff impacts.For more strategic insights and compelling content, visit TheRobinReport.com, where you can read, watch, and listen to content from Robin Lewis and other retail industry experts, and be sure to follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter.

A number of my clients have said this exact thing to me about the career strategies they learn in my program... let's dive into why getting a coach earlier - even today - will set you up for success.In this ep, I am exploring how to find out if you'd benefit from working with a coach, like me (or otherwise!)...We are talking ambition, goals, (as well as having neither)...We are talking about feeling stuck, lacking visibility and support...What to expect from an initial call with a coach...And the 3 very tangible reasons why you must NOT wait another month, another week, another day before reaching out to a coach and getting the support you need to succeed!Something I said today:"My coaching niche is two-fold. It's about career strategy first and foremost. What's in it for you? What do you want from the next 12 months or 5 years? It's also about giving you the strategies - and the structure - to help you fast track your career, whether that's fresh opportunities or promotions to leadership or something else entirely that will give you the meaning and stretch you're looking for."

The question I am posing today is: do you see merit in, or do you judge, values that are different from your own?I am looking at two different values-preferences today:1. Rational vs Emotional2. Impulsive vs ThoughtfulHow do you identify with each of these paired groups? Are there people in your team with the same preference/ style as you?Are there people in your team with the opposite approach to you?Do you see merit in all approaches or do you judge those that aren't like your own?Are you benefitting from the collective intelligence your team has because of these differences, or not?Something I said today:"As a leader it's important to look at the team as a whole and ask if you're fully utilising your collective intelligence - which means valuing different approaches to solving problems as being equally worthy."

As we know, America is in motion here, and so subsequent updates may not be reflected in this discussion as things continue to evolve and change. Tune in as PwC specialists from across the health industry share their insights on how recent policy shifts under the Trump administration could shape healthcare in the years to come. In this episode, Glenn Hunzinger, Jenny Colapietro, and guests Kelly Griffin, Phil Sclafani, and Ruchita Kewalramani break down the potential implications of proposed government healthcare cuts, tariff policy and agency workforce reductions, along with the growing role of AI in the industry. They also discuss how pharma, medtech, payers and providers can stay ahead amidst the uncertainty. Discussion highlights:Proposed funding cuts to major government healthcare programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and NIH could significantly disrupt access, affordability, and service delivery across the healthcare landscape.Workforce reductions at federal agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Health and Human Services (HHS) may slow drug approvals, diminish oversight, and impact public health standards.New and evolving tariff policies are creating cost pressures across pharmaceutical and medtech supply chains, with potential downstream impacts on pricing, R&D, and patient access.The rapid adoption of AI in healthcare is creating new opportunities across diagnostics, R&D, and operations, while also raising concerns around governance and data privacy.To stay ahead, industry leaders must assess risks, strengthen agility, and uncover opportunities to innovate in today's dynamic environment.Speakers:Kelly Griffin, Director, Health Policy Intelligence Institute, PwCRuchita Kewalramani, Partner, Health Services PwCPhil Sclafani, Partner, Pharma & Life Sciences, PwCGlenn Hunzinger, Partner, Health Industries Leader, PwCJenny Colapietro, Principal, Consulting Commercial Leader, PwCLinked materials:Health Policy and Intelligence InstituteFor more information, please visit us at: https://www.pwc.com/us/en/industries/health-industries/health-research-institute/next-in-health-podcast.html.
