In the debut episode of Ask and Disagree, Angela McManoway and DJ Daugherty sit down with host/referee Beth Shaheen to wrestle with a topic everyone's talking about but few agree on: how AI is reshaping career paths, industries, and everyday work.From Amazon layoffs and AI-powered drive-thrus to automated banking lines and airplane wing design, the trio dives into both sides of the conversation:Is AI eliminating jobs—or creating new ones?Will the workforce fall behind if people refuse to use it?Does AI make us smarter, or lazier?How do we stay “human” when everything is automated?What does expert knowledge mean in a world where AI can generate answers instantly?DJ brings the tech lens: speed, efficiency, code analysis, and where human oversight still matters.Angela brings the business view: customer experience, authenticity, job displacement, and what gets lost when humans disappear from the process.Beth asks the provocative questions that push their perspectives—and expose where they agree (rarely) and disagree (often).This fast-moving 30-minute episode sets the tone for the series: real conversations, real disagreements, and real insights about the future of work.

The numbers are brutal and they're hitting New Mexico families right now: average health insurance premiums jumping more than 35%, with some silver plans spiking over 50%. We unpack why rates are soaring, how subsidy design can unintentionally reward insurers, and why middle-income families often get hammered despite “help.” From malpractice pressures to physician shortages and thin competition, we connect the policy dots that quietly decide what you pay and what care you actually get.Safety takes center stage next. A new ranking labels New Mexico the most dangerous state for solo travelers, a gut punch to a tourism economy that depends on trust. We talk candidly about violent crime, the day-to-day realities for residents and visitors, and how enforcement, sentencing, and services either reinforce stability or erode it. That tension shows up in Bernalillo County's anti-ICE ordinance debate and in the Albuquerque mayor's race, where a controversial ad drew sharp pushback from police. When politics turns officers into villains or reframes violent-offender removals as fear campaigns, the public loses clarity—and safety.We close with kids and the attention economy. Drawing on Jonathan Haidt's work, we explore how adolescence migrated to smartphones and TikTok, why teen girls and boys are affected differently, and what parents can do right now to restore structure: later phones, device-free nights, shared screen spaces, real jobs, and faith or community anchors. The through-line is simple: policy and design choices matter. Health costs, crime trends, and youth mental health don't fix themselves; they respond to incentives, accountability, and honest leadership.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review.

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Peso Pluma has continued his streak as one of the most watched and talked-about figures in music this fall, and this past week alone has delivered both spectacle and substance to his growing legend. LAist reports that earlier this week Peso Pluma performed two completely sold-out nights at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, drawing fans from all over Southern California, including first-timers and die-hards equally thrilled to see the Jalisco-born star up close. The event was a celebration of the crossover appeal of his corridos tumbados and cemented his status as a generational talent whose sound speaks to both tradition and youth culture. Fans interviewed outside suggested the concerts were a source of cultural pride and a clear sign that regional Mexican music has fully erupted into the American mainstream, with Peso described as the new icon representing the Latino experience at the highest levels.On the business side, AOL details how Peso Pluma's upward trajectory continues to impact the industry, with what's being called the “Peso Pluma Effect.” Executives and analysts now point to him as a primary force behind the explosion of regional Mexican music outside its historical audience. The acknowledgment from Variety and music trade publications this week underscores how his influence is causing, as a major headline put it, “the biggest shakeup of Latin genre marketing in decades.”Socially, Peso Pluma dominated L.A. headlines this weekend for a different reason—a playful, community-powered lookalike contest at Echo Park Lake, as covered by LAist's Brian de los Santos. The contest drew around one hundred participants and was a trending moment across local social media, further cementing Peso's current cultural dominance in the city. One winner told reporters she felt “Peso enough” to represent all fans, reflecting the deep community bond the singer inspires.Musically, Peso Pluma ended the week with the surprise release of a new single called Gervonta, named after boxer Gervonta Davis. According to Rolling Stone and IMDB News, the track dropped Thursday evening, marking Peso's first new song since his album Exodo. On Instagram, even Gervonta Davis himself amplified the release by sharing its cover art to his story. Lyrically, the song keeps with Peso's luxury themes, boasting about private jets and shiny watches—a nod to his now-global celebrity status.Though Peso did not win a headline award at last week's Latin Grammy Awards—Bad Bunny took home the top trophies according to the Associated Press—his omnipresence at key events keeps speculation high about future collaborations and possible award sweeps in 2026. There are no major confirmed controversies or scandals at this time. Unconfirmed posts continue to swirl about his love life, particularly regarding his previous breakup with Nicki Nicole, but no new explosive revelations have surfaced in official media the past few days.In all, Peso Pluma remains not just a top musical act but a bona fide cultural mover, blending pop stardom with community roots and shaping Latin music's new trajectory as the year races toward its close.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

It's rare to find someone whose career spans 18 years in automotive manufacturing and venture capital, but Charly Mgwani, Partner at Eclipse Ventures, has done exactly that. His journey from the factory floor at Toyota, Nissan, Tesla and Rivian to backing hard tech companies gives him a perspective many VCs don't have.We sit down with Charly to explore how first principles thinking (questioning assumptions and getting back to root causes) drives real innovation in manufacturing.He walks us through Tesla's early days when they were asking questions nobody in the automotive industry had thought to ask, like whether robots could be programmed to work faster or if there was a better way to design for manufacturing.The conversation covers what Eclipse looks for in the founders they support, why being scrappy can lead to better manufacturing decisions, and why old manufacturing principles need rethinking as the industry flows in the opposite direction.In this episode, find out:How first principles thinking challenges manufacturing assumptions and unlocks innovationWhy asking “why not?” opens possibilities that “that's how it's always been done” closes offThe critical relationship between product design and manufacturability that many companies overlookWhat Charly learned about manufacturing during his time at Toyota and NissanWhy being capital-constrained can force creativity and focus in manufacturingThe questions Tesla asked that nobody in automotive had thought to ask beforeWhat Eclipse Ventures looks for in the founders they back and why that matters for hard tech companiesEnjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“I was ten years into my career when Elon was asking questions that had never been asked in automotive before. By forcing us to think about things from a first principle, we started identifying levers like part consolidation that are now commonplace in manufacturing today.”“Most folks design a factory as just what's inside the shell, but then you end up with over-built systems that don't speak to each other. If you design it as one product, like how a vehicle would be designed, there are more synergistic opportunities to simplify the utilities and make them complimentary.”“Manufacturing until recently has always flowed towards low labor costs and consolidation in pursuit of economies of scale. But now it's flowing in the other direction, so that means you can't depend on previous principles and how manufacturing has always been designed.”Links & mentions:Eclipse Ventures, partnering with entrepreneurs boldly transforming the essential industries that define and propel economies.

The Trump administration’s nuclear ambitions raise new questions about safety, speed, and regulatory independence. --- The Trump administration has made nuclear power a centerpiece of its energy agenda, launching the most aggressive federal push for new reactors in decades. Through sweeping executive orders, new federal directives and financing support, and an $80 billion deal with Westinghouse, it aims to quadruple America’s nuclear capacity by mid-century and position the technology as a pillar of national security. But the rapid expansion is testing the independence of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the agency charged with ensuring that nuclear power is developed safely and free from political pressure. As the administration prioritizes speed, competitiveness, and national security, the NRC is being pushed to do more with fewer staff and to prioritize faster reactor approvals, raising concern that safety and the public trust it underpins could be compromised in the rush to build. Former NRC Chair Allison Macfarlane discusses what’s at stake for nuclear safety, regulation, and the future of U.S. nuclear power.

How are innovation, data, and AI are transforming the mortgage experience? Wendy Hannah-Olson, SVP of Digital Alliances and Strategy Execution at Equifax, sits down with Jonas Moe, SVP of Marketing at ICE Mortgage Technology to discuss this evolution, from streamlining operations and improving borrower engagement to keeping the human connection at the heart of lending.In this episode:How are lenders improving the borrower experience?The focus is shifting toward a complete borrower lifecycle — creating a seamless experience from application through servicing. Lenders are embracing automation in the “middleware” stages, such as underwriting and processing, to remove friction while keeping human engagement where it matters most.How is ICE Mortgage Technology evolving its platform?By integrating technologies from MERS, Simplifile, Ellie Mae, and Black Knight under the ICE umbrella, the company is building a truly end-to-end ecosystem that connects origination and servicing to eliminate friction, reduce costs, and enhance borrower visibility.What role does AI play in operational efficiency?ICE uses AI to make compliance and servicing smarter — for instance, through “Ask Reggie,” a tool that simplifies complex AllRegs compliance searches, and an AI-powered call agent that routes consumers efficiently to either automated answers or human assistance when needed.What's next for credit scores and data innovation?ICE is collaborating closely with FHFA, Fannie, Freddie, and Equifax to support the rollout of new credit models responsibly. Equifax's new crisis-period dataset — tracing behavior before, during, and after 2008 — helps the industry model risk more accurately as scoring systems evolve.

Project 2025 is a sweeping blueprint for reshaping the federal government, published by the Heritage Foundation and a coalition of conservative groups. At its core, the initiative aims to consolidate executive power, dismantle or radically restructure key agencies, and install political loyalists throughout the bureaucracy. The project's 900-page manual, “Mandate for Leadership,” details plans for every major department, from the Department of Justice to the Department of Education, and lays out a 180-day playbook for the first days of a new conservative administration.One of the most controversial proposals is the revival of Schedule F, a personnel classification that would allow the president to replace thousands of career civil servants with political appointees. According to the Heritage Foundation, this would ensure that the executive branch is staffed by individuals “aligned with the president's agenda.” Critics, including the American Federation of Government Employees, warn that this could undermine the nonpartisan nature of the federal workforce and leave employees vulnerable to political pressure.The plan calls for the elimination of several agencies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission. The Department of Education would be dismantled, with its functions shifted to the states or other departments. The Department of Homeland Security would also face major cuts. The National Institutes of Health would see reduced independence, and funding for stem cell research would be eliminated. The blueprint also recommends merging the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Census Bureau, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics into a single agency, with a mission aligned to conservative principles.Project 2025's education agenda focuses on reducing federal involvement, promoting school choice, and curbing what it calls “woke propaganda” in public schools. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act would be administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, and federal enforcement of civil rights in schools would be significantly curtailed.The initiative also seeks to expand presidential powers, advocating for direct White House control over agencies like the Department of Justice and the FBI. This is based on a controversial interpretation of the unitary executive theory, which aims to centralize authority in the presidency. The plan recommends dismissing all State Department leadership before January 20, 2025, and replacing them with ideologically vetted appointees.Experts warn that these changes could have profound implications for American governance. The American Civil Liberties Union notes that Project 2025 could erode checks and balances, while the Center for Progressive Reform tracks the potential consequences for workers and the public. The project's proposals have already begun to influence executive actions, with recent orders targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion offices, freezing federal hiring, and reinstating the Schedule F classification.As the 2025 presidential transition approaches, the debate over Project 2025's vision for the federal government is likely to intensify. The coming months will reveal how much of this blueprint is implemented and what it means for the future of American democracy.Thank you for tuning in.

In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, host David Carothers sits down with Jeff Harris, the CEO and co-founder of Appulate, widely considered the original Insurtech (founded in 2005). Jeff shares Appulate's journey from solving the "abysmal" problem of supplemental form generation to becoming an all-in-one AI solution for agencies. They discuss the critical gap between insurance and technology, how AI is reshaping the industry, and why Appulate is taking a conservative and reliable approach to its implementation. The conversation also covers the dangers of agents using public AI tools with client PII and how technology is the "great equalizer" for small agencies. Key Highlights: The Evolution of the Oldest Insurtech Jeff Harris details Appulate's nearly 20-year history, which began by solving the pain of manual supplemental forms. Today, their Producer Connect platform serves as a "bolt-on" to an agency's AMS, acting as a broad marketing platform that saves time on data entry, obtains loss runs, and integrates with thousands of carrier portals to eliminate redundant work. AI's Role: A Conservative and Reliable Approach While AI is changing the industry, Jeff emphasizes that it must be reliable and consistent. He compares it to Tesla's autonomous driving—it had to be perfected before users could trust it. Appulate currently uses AI where it excels, such as parsing data from loss runs and deck pages, but avoids areas where the industry (like carrier portals) isn't ready for full AI integration, which could cause more problems than it solves. The Danger of "Lazy" AI Implementation David and Jeff discuss the significant E&O and cyber risk of "fundamentally lazy" agents uploading policies with Personally Identifiable Information (PII) into public Chat-GPT. Jeff stresses the importance of using secure, vendor-provided AI solutions rather than unvetted public tools, highlighting that AI is already being effectively used in areas like fraud detection. AI as the "Great Equalizer" for Agencies Jeff explains that AI is a "once-in-a-generation opportunity" for small and mid-sized agencies to compete with the 100-pound gorillas. By automating manual, time-consuming tasks, AI reduces burnout and turnover, helps retain younger tech-savvy talent, and allows smaller agencies to achieve the same level of output and efficiency as their largest competitors without massive investments in headcount.

One of the first major cuts from the Department of Government Efficiency hit the U.S. Agency for International Development. About 85% of its programs were eliminated, and the rest, including emergency food aid, were folded into the State Department. That food aid program has long had bipartisan support, but the transition hasn't been seamless. Federal News Network's Eric White recently spoke with Vincent Smith from the American Enterprise Institute to explore the program's growing pains.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the riveting conclusion of Tom Bilyeu's conversation with WhatifAltHist, we journey deeper into the social and psychological forces driving the modern malaise. This segment picks up with the feminization of culture, the consequences for masculinity, and how evolutionary psychology explains everything from birth rate collapse to rising social distrust. With both wit and a sharp edge, WhatifAltHist analyzes the shifting dynamics between men and women, the devastating impact of merit suppression, hypergamy, and why Gen Z faces a world of atomized social interaction and declining family formation. Part two dives into the pathology of the modern left—from ideological purity spirals to the breakdown of authentic community and the rise of suicidal empathy. The conversation explores the perils of unchecked immigration, authoritarian overreach, and the dangers of ignoring biological realities. The episode wraps with hard-hitting advice on how society might regenerate—championing a return to masculinity, social trust, and the restoration of a truly human context.

Electrification is surging, AI data centres are multiplying, and volatility is rising on both sides of the meter. Can storage step in as the flexible backbone the US grid now needs? Host Sylvia Leyva Martinez is joined by Joanna Martin Ziegenfuss, General Manager for Strategic Market Development (North America), and Ruchira Shah, General Manager of Software Product Management at Wärtsilä Energy Storage. Together they unpack how high-performance hardware paired with sophisticated control software delivers real-time flexibility, from synthetic inertia and fast frequency response to price arbitrage and microgrid operation. The conversation tracks the shift from treating storage as a bolt-on to renewables to viewing it as a core reliability asset. Sylvia, Joanna and Ruchi explore how AI-driven load growth and volatile demand profiles change planning assumptions; why interconnection queues are pushing some data centres toward on-site generation plus batteries; and how market rules and policy must evolve to reward flexibility and sub-second response. They also dig into software's role in future-proofing assets as grid requirements tighten, and where innovators are already meeting new performance thresholds.If you're navigating project economics, market design or grid operations in a fast-changing landscape, this episode offers a pragmatic look at what's working, what's missing, and why storage is set to anchor a resilient, decarbonised grid.

At MBA Annual 2025, HousingWire CEO Clayton Collins interviewed Rikard Bandebo, Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Economist at VantageScore, about one of the biggest industry shifts in decades: the entrance of VantageScore into the mortgage ecosystem. In this episode:Why is credit score competition important?For decades, the mortgage industry has relied on one scoring model. With the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) expanding options, VantageScore introduces innovation, transparency, and fairness—allowing lenders to assess creditworthiness more accurately and consumers to qualify for mortgages previously out of reach.How will this change expand homeownership?VantageScore's model incorporates up to 24 months of credit history and uses alternative data sources, helping identify five million additional households that could qualify for mortgages. These consumers are often in rural or high-rental communities, meaning the change supports economic growth and financial inclusion in underserved markets.What are the implications for lenders and the market?· Lenders: Gain new tools to expand their customer base without increasing risk.· Consumers: See more consistent and transparent scoring.· Market: Competitive pricing for credit data, increased innovation, and better access to affordable lending.What's next for mortgage credit innovation?Lenders are encouraged to back-test their portfolios, prepare internal systems, and align with new data channels to ensure readiness as the transition accelerates in 2026.

Text us your questions!We talk with political strategist, author, and Lincoln Project member Mike Madrid about data, culture, and why both parties keep getting the Latino vote wrong.Mike takes us inside the Lincoln Project's 2020 strategy and the personal costs of resisting Trumpism, then draws a sharp line between principled conservatism and punitive nationalist populism. From energy policy to border security to employee ownership, we explore how Democrats ended up carrying a slate of classically conservative positions and why that still isn't landing with working class voters. The throughline is practical: housing, wages, and permitting timelines beat slogans every time, especially for a young, US‑born Latino electorate that's increasingly moderate, less partisan, and focused on near‑term economic mobility.We also discuss culture and faith, challenging lazy “machismo” tropes with the maternal core of Latin American Catholicism and a track record of electing women. Mike explains how generational change, not country of origin, drives political behavior and why Latino voters split roughly 50–50. That elasticity could be the system's safety valve, if the parties learn to speak to pocketbook priorities instead of waging endless culture wars.We also confront the rise in political violence. Mike argues we're already in a civil conflict—more Troubles than Gettysburg—and that healing will be social before it's political. The antidote starts local: honest conversations, community action, and leaders calling out extremism in their own ranks. Along the way, we have occasion to toast some tequila and hear about Mike's storytelling project on the Cuervo–Sauza rivalry, expanding how Latino lives are portrayed beyond tired stereotypes.If this conversation challenges and energizes you, follow, rate, and share the show with a friend.=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.
