In this episode, I sit down with Saket Saurabh (CEO of Nexla) to discuss the fundamental shift happening in the AI landscape. The conversation is moving beyond the race to build the biggest foundational models and towards a new battleground: context. We explore what it means to be a "model company" versus a "context company" and how this changes everything for data strategy and enterprise AI. Join us as we cover:Model vs. Context Companies: The emerging divide between companies building models (like OpenAI) and those whose advantage lies in their unique data and integrations.The Limits of Current Models: Why we might be hitting an asymptote with the current transformer architecture for solving complex, reliable business processes. "Context Engineering": What this term really means, from RAG to stitching together tools, data, and memory to feed AI systems. The Resurgence of Knowledge Graphs: Why graph databases are becoming critical for providing deterministic, reliable information to probabilistic AI models, moving beyond simple vector similarity. AI's Impact on Tooling: How tools like Lovable and Cursor are changing workflows for prototyping and coding, and the risk of creating the "-10x engineer." The Future of Data Engineering: How the field is expanding as AI becomes the primary consumer of data, requiring a new focus on architecture, semantics, and managing complexity at scale.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This past week has brought a cascade of headlines and social buzz as Justin Bieber makes one of his most significant moves since his lengthy hiatus. The biggest story shaping his legacy is the announcement that Bieber will headline Coachella 2026—a first for him—alongside heavyweights like Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, and Anyma. His confirmation instantly ignited #Bieberchella mania across X, with the festival's passes selling out so rapidly that it set a post-pandemic record. According to The Economic Times, Bieber's appearance also made him the highest-paid artist in Coachella's history with a noted 10 million dollar deal, reflecting not just star power, but also industry confidence in his enduring appeal. This headline moment comes on the heels of Bieber's re-emergence in music. After retreating from the spotlight in 2022 due to health challenges—namely Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which led to the cancellation of his “Justice World Tour”—Bieber has recuperated alongside his wife Hailey and their first child, Jack Blues Bieber, welcomed in August 2024. Carefully curated family moments have appeared on Instagram, helping to reshape his public image around resilience, growth, and fatherhood. Yet not all social activity has been soft-focus: Bieber recently unfollowed Usher, his early mentor, on Instagram, sparking rumors about professional reshuffling and evolving alliances.In July, Bieber dropped his comeback album Swag, followed closely by Swag II in September, stirring hopes for a new era of hits and solidifying that his creative energy is back. Instagram teases have kept the hype engine revving, especially a clip of Bieber previewing new music while driving—complete with film and handwriting emojis, suggesting a multimedia-level rollout. Producer Mk.gee confirmed ongoing writing and recording sessions, hinting at a sonically adventurous phase in Bieber's musical story.Industry whispers suggest that a global tour is in development, with insiders pointing both to fan demand and the financial baggage of his earlier tour's abrupt halt. Adding intrigue, a revealing documentary on Bieber's sale of his music catalog and personal struggles dropped this year, further positioning him as a star who's survived immense pressure while plotting a strategic return.On the gossip front, Bieber stirred drama by posting a cryptic Instagram story featuring a pointed song choice on the very day of ex Selena Gomez's wedding, which fans interpret as subtle commentary on their shared past. As coverage oscillates between celebration and speculation, what's undeniable is that Bieber is recalibrating his career with blockbuster moves, creative teases, and headline-grabbing actions—and the world is ready to see what comes next.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Ever catch yourself running harder and faster in business, more tech, more hustle yet secretly longing for a slower, simpler rhythm?In this Happy Hustle Podcast, I share the Guest Guru training of Ryan Levesque—7-time Inc. 5000 CEO, 2-time #1 National Best-Selling Author, and all-around legend. Ryan's built multiple businesses past the $100M mark, sold two of them, and then hit reset by moving his family to a 500-acre farm in Vermont. Now he's raising cattle, tapping maple trees, and teaching what he calls the “Return to Real” in a world obsessed with AI. Why tune in? Because Ryan's not only cracked the business code, he's also figured out how to protect what matters most—family, health, and meaning—while still thriving as an entrepreneur.Here are a few powerful lessons from Ryan's training:Hands in the dirt beats eyes on the screen. When life feels synthetic, grounding yourself in real-world work and nature restores clarity and balance.Think beyond the screen. The best connections often happen in analog ways—like books, handwritten notes, or shared in-person experiences.Build trust, not just clicks. Oxytocin (the chemistry of trust and bonding) beats dopamine every time. Storytelling, honesty, and humor connect far deeper than flashy growth hacks.Unscalable is unbeatable. It's the personalized touches—the call, the hug, the gift that can't be copied or automated, and that's exactly what makes them powerful.Be a category of one. Nobody can outcompete you at being you. Share your unique point of view, your contrarian beliefs, and your true mission. That's how you stand out.This episode is about more than growing revenue. It's about building a life that feels alive aligned with what you value most. Ryan reminds us that while AI and tech are here to stay, the edge belongs to those who bring humanity, depth, and authenticity into every interaction.Connect with Ryanhttps://www.instagram.com/askryanlevesque/https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanlevesque/https://www.facebook.com/ryan.levesqueFind Ryan on this website: https://thedigitalcontrarian.comConnect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

It's been over a year since we've talked about cybersecurity on Manufacturing Happy Hour, and with AI changing the game completely, we're overdue for a refresh. Around 80-85% of the global industry doesn't have basic defense at the edge of their networks; that's a sobering statistic.Felipe Sabino Costa, Senior Product Manager for Networking and Cybersecurity at Moxa, joins the show to break down why Operational Technology (OT) security matters more than ever. Manufacturers need to transmit massive amounts of data for AI and predictive analytics, but they're working with 15–20-year-old infrastructure that wasn't built for this.The good news is, Felipe shares practical frameworks like NIST and IEC 62443 (which he compares to nutrition labels) that help manufacturers build security into their operations. The key takeaway?

The recent roundtable discussion centered on the theme "How AI is Changing Job Seeker Behavior," featuring insights from Leah Daniels, Chris Russell, and Jonathan Turpin. The conversation highlighted the significant impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the recruitment landscape and candidate experiences. Leah Daniels opened the meeting by expressing excitement about the topic, emphasizing that AI's influence on job seeking behavior is likely to be a recurring theme in the coming years. She introduced the panelists, who shared their expertise and perspectives on the evolving role of AI in recruitment. Jonathan Turpin presented key statistics, noting that AI is becoming essential for navigating the complexities of recruitment. He highlighted that 60% of job applications now stem from personalized job recommendations, indicating a shift towards AI-driven outreach where jobs actively find candidates. This shift underscores the potential for AI to enhance recruitment efficiency and reduce costs, allowing recruiters to focus more on the human aspects of hiring. The discussion also addressed the current inadequacies in job matching, with participants agreeing that many recruitment platforms struggle to deliver quality matches. Leah raised concerns about the monetization of recruitment services, questioning how poor matching affects revenue models. Turpin argued that improved matching quality could justify higher fees for recruitment services, while Russell emphasized the need for transparency in the hiring process. The panelists explored how candidates are increasingly leveraging AI tools for various aspects of their job search, including resume writing and interview preparation. However, there were concerns about the homogenization of resumes due to reliance on generic AI tools, which could make it challenging for candidates to stand out. Another significant point of discussion was the potential for AI to enhance the candidate experience by providing timely feedback and fostering transparency in the application process. The group acknowledged the importance of building trust between candidates and employers, especially given the prevalent concerns about AI screening candidates out. Towards the end of the meeting, the conversation shifted to OpenAI's announcement regarding the launch of an AI-centric job board. Turpin speculated that this initiative might not directly compete with existing job boards but could position OpenAI as a standard in the industry. The panelists expressed curiosity about how this new platform would integrate with established services like Indeed and LinkedIn. In summary, the meeting underscored the need for the recruitment industry to adapt to the changes brought about by AI. The focus should be on improving candidate experiences, enhancing matching processes, and fostering transparency to build trust. The discussion concluded with a shared belief that while AI presents challenges, it also offers significant opportunities for innovation in recruitment. - https://app.fireflies.ai/view/ROUNDTABLE-How-AI-is-Changing-Job-Seeker-Behavior-copy-::01K5SHYQKG36P8QJZQ0F0NJQP0?utm_source=AskFredResponseCopied Learn more about your ad choices.

ETFs are at the center of how investors are navigating today's rapidly changing markets. From active ETFs to thematic strategies around megaforces like artificial intelligence and infrastructure, innovation in exchange-traded funds is reshaping how portfolios are built.In this special Ask Me Anything edition of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido sits down with Jay Jacobs, U.S. Head of Equity ETFs at BlackRock, to answer questions submitted by listeners. Together, they explore the evolving ETF landscape and how investors can better position themselves in a volatile world. Jay also highlights the link between AI and infrastructure - noting that advances in artificial intelligence require massive investments in electricity, real estate, and supply chains. For investors, the message is clear: today's portfolios must capture both enduring themes and defensive strategies.Key insights include:The “be, beat, modify” equity framework for building portfolios: how core ETFs provide efficiency, active and thematic ETFs can aim to outperform, and outcome-oriented strategies offer risk management.Why factor investing (quality, value, momentum) demands a more tactical, systematic approach in 2025.The growing role of active ETFs as investors seek new sources of alpha in an era of lower expected returns.Why diversifying beyond U.S. equities and addressing concentration risk from mega-cap tech is increasingly important.How megaforces like AI, geopolitics, and infrastructure demand are reshaping equity markets and long-term investing themes.The role of gold and Bitcoin as portfolio diversifiers and monetary alternatives beyond traditional stocks and bonds.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Investor Interests in 202500:20 Ask Me Anything: Meet Jay Jacobs, U.S. Head of Equity ETFs at BlackRock01:14 Understanding Equity Markets: Be, Beat, and Modify04:00 Factor Exposures and Economic Environments05:57 Geographical Diversification in Portfolios07:54 The Role of Thematic Investing09:58 Active ETFs vs. Mutual Funds13:40 Exploring Alternative Asset Classes: Gold and Bitcoin15:32 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

No Morins this week—just Jess and Sam, trading Gossip Girl “dear listener” asides for a tour of tech's new power map. From Meta's in-store glasses push to Apple's “Find My” doubling as Gen Z's stealth social network, the real story is how distribution and lock-in shape the future. Sam frames “mercantilism 2.0,” where global trade routes of capital now run through Silicon Valley, Tel Aviv, and Riyadh, with figures like Elon Musk and Sam Altman acting as brokers of $10B+ flows.In true Sam fashion, the conversation highlights why LLMs aren't true moats, pointing instead to the infrastructure layer (chips, power, data centers) and the UX layer (distribution, product polish). Nvidia's securitized GPU deals illustrate how structured finance and alliances are reshaping competition.The takeaway: early-stage VC may finally be moving past hype, becoming sober—and therefore interesting—again.Chapters:02:02 – Meta Ray-Bans: friction as onboarding strategy05:31 – Mercantilism 2.0: Tech's new trade routes07:56 – Elon's real genius: moving $10B+ into frontier tech09:27 – Sam Altman as mega-capital trade-route broker12:40 – Starlink V3 and the network-layer power shift16:08 – Could Elon own planetary communications?18:35 – Find My = stealth social network21:04 – Strategy assets over DCF: power, data centers, chips23:41 – LLMs aren't the moat; moats shift lower/higher27:44 – AI's expense revives structured finance30:56 – Nvidia as the East India Company of compute33:50 – Will a handful of players control all the assets?39:57 – Early-stage VC is sober (and exciting) again43:05 – TikTok's heat moved to AI: the attention shiftWe're also on ↓X: https://twitter.com/moreorlesspodInstagram: https://instagram.com/moreorlessSpotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moreorlesspodConnect with us here:1) Sam Lessin: https://x.com/lessin2) Dave Morin: https://x.com/davemorin3) Jessica Lessin: https://x.com/Jessicalessin4) Brit Morin: https://x.com/brit

The U.S. Supreme Court has vastly reshaped American democracy — rolling back voting rights, enabling secret money in politics and expanding presidential power. These decisions have a real impact on all Americans by making it harder for citizens to exercise their freedom to vote, easier for wealthy interests to sway elections and more difficult to hold leaders accountable.In this episode, host Simone Leeper speaks with law professor and co-host of the Strict Scrutiny Podcast Leah Litman, Campaign Legal Center Senior Vice President Bruce V. Spiva and Campaign Legal Center Campaign Finance Senior Counsel David Kolker. Together, they unpack the real-world impact of landmark Supreme Court decisions — from voting rights cases like Shelby County v. Holder and Brnovich v. DNC to campaign finance rulings like Citizens United — and explore what reforms could restore balance, accountability and trust in the Court.Timestamps:(00:05) — What do Americans really think about the Supreme Court?(02:18) — Why does the Supreme Court's power matter for democracy?(07:01) — How did Shelby County v.

This generational housing boom isn't just numbers — it's changing neighborhoods, prices, and even family life. For sellers, timing has never mattered more. Baby boomers are staying in their homes longer than ever — a median of 13 years compared to just 6 in the 1980s. That keeps supply constrained and prices strong. To appeal to younger buyers, features like smart home tech, EV charging stations, flexible workspaces, and multipurpose layouts are becoming must-haves. And it's not just younger buyers in the mix — many sales are Boomer-to-Boomer transactions, as retirees downsize or relocate to retirement-friendly communities. For buyers, affordability remains a serious challenge. Millennials are entering homeownership later, with an average first purchase at age 36 versus 29 in 1981, largely due to higher costs and student loan debt. To compete, many are turning to creative strategies like co-buying with family or friends, or purchasing multigenerational homes — a segment that now makes up about one in five transactions. Add in competition from institutional investors in the starter-home market, and the pressure intensifies. For communities, the shifts are visible. Younger buyers want walkable, mixed-use developments with easy access to amenities like gyms, coffee shops, and coworking spaces. That demand often clashes with boomers' desire for quiet and stability, creating tension around zoning and development. At the same time, homes with ADUs and in-law suites are rising in popularity, reshaping neighborhoods. From an investment perspective, real estate remains the top wealth-building tool across generations. Despite affordability challenges, Millennials collectively now own more homes than Gen X did at the same age. Hotspot markets in the Southeast, Texas, and Mountain West are drawing younger buyers with lower costs and job opportunities. Looking ahead, future trends will be driven by the massive wealth transfer as boomers pass down assets or downsize, unlocking much-needed inventory. Local governments will face mounting pressure to loosen zoning rules, approve ADUs, and allow more multifamily housing. Builders, too, are pivoting away from oversized homes toward smaller, affordable designs—a clear break from the McMansion era. Closing: We're in the middle of the largest housing turnover in U.S. history — but it's not just about transactions. It's about how multiple generations will live together, how communities evolve, and how wealth gets built and passed down. This is the generational housing boom, and it's already reshaping the American Dream. Call to Action: Want to see how this is playing out in your neighborhood?

Visit GoGaddisRadio.com—send us a note, nominate your Neighborhood Spotlight, and subscribe to the podcast. Let's get to it. Today, we're talking about something truly historic: the biggest transfer of real estate wealth in history. Baby Boomers still hold the majority of U.S. housing wealth, but Millennials—now in their peak homebuying years—and Gen Z, entering the market earlier than expected, are becoming the dominant buying forces. This shift is being fueled by an unprecedented $84 trillion wealth transfer expected by 2045, with housing as the number one asset being passed down. But this generational boom isn't just about money—it's creating real pressure on the market. Housing supply is still short by millions of units, and with multiple generations competing for homes, affordability and inventory challenges are front and center. At the same time, lifestyle changes are shaping the way people buy and live. Remote work has freed younger buyers to look beyond major cities, opening opportunities in suburbs and smaller towns. Meanwhile, multigenerational living is on the rise, with one in five households now including multiple generations under one roof. So what does this mean for you? Whether you're buying, selling, or simply holding onto your home, the ripple effects of this generational housing boom are real—and they'll impact every corner of the market. Transition/Next Segment Tease: “If this is the biggest generational housing boom in history, what does it mean for your next move? Stick around—we'll break it all down right after the break.”

In this episode, guest host Ben Whedon sits down with Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne from Texas to discuss the recent redistricting in her state and its implications for the upcoming elections. As Texas adds Republican-leaning seats, we explore the shifting political landscape, the impact of new residents from blue states, and the importance of policies that resonate with Texans. The conversation also delves into Congress's challenges regarding spending, tariffs, and the path forward for the Republican Party. Also, Ben engages in a thought-provoking discussion with former Deputy National Security Advisor Victoria Coates, currently with the Heritage Foundation. We analyze the escalating conflict in Gaza, the implications of Israel's ground offensive, and the complexities surrounding the relationship between the U.S. and Israel. Victoria shares insights on the challenges of negotiating peace with Hamas, the shifting public opinion regarding Israel, and the potential for a diplomatic resolution.

How does God's mercy reshape our response to broken relationships? When so much feels out of control and the future is uncertain? Reconciliation is a profoundly scary and difficult thing. One of the reasons is because we have no idea how the other person will respond and no control over the outcome. Genesis 33 is the story of what happens after Jacob goes head-to-head with God's mercy. Jacob's worst nightmare is still coming true, and yet God's mercy not only reshapes his response to the uncertainty he faces, it produces the most unexpected embrace. It's a testimony to the reshaping power of God's mercy.

AI-driven transformation is underway as over half of tech and media firms plan major organizational restructures to integrate artificial intelligence, despite the high failure rate of early pilot programs. Salesforce expects AI to handle 50% of service calls by 2027, while Business Insider is quietly using AI to draft articles. Fiverr's "AI-first" restructuring has led to a 30% workforce reduction, sparking backlash. The rapid shift reveals both opportunity and risk, especially as poor implementation and loss of customer trust threaten to undermine the promised benefits.Meanwhile, Microsoft is under fire from Consumer Reports for ending support for Windows 10 on October 14th, leaving hundreds of millions of devices potentially vulnerable. Many cannot upgrade to Windows 11 due to hardware limitations, and Microsoft's proposed $30/year fee for extended updates has drawn criticism. Managed service providers (MSPs) now face an uphill battle to communicate this change, mitigate client dissatisfaction, and navigate rushed hardware refreshes.Cyber resilience and AI are converging across the IT stack. N-able, Syncro, and LogicMonitor are rolling out AI-driven features such as anomaly detection, M365/Entra ID backups, and cross-cloud observability. Microsoft Research's open-source MCP Interviewer tool could open new service opportunities for validating AI infrastructure. The trend signals a shift from AI as novelty to AI as operational backbone — but with much of it still experimental, caution is advised.Finally, big questions loom: Is poor leadership being misdiagnosed as a failure of remote work? Can Oracle's $317B backlog — heavily reliant on OpenAI — actually deliver value? And if generative AI increases global GDP by trillions, who truly benefits — vendors or end users? At the grassroots level, students turning to AI for homework raises concerns about eroding critical thinking and long-term workforce preparedness. Four things to know today 00:00 Over Half of Tech Firms Plan Major Restructures to Embrace AI, Despite High Failure Rates05:28 Consumer Reports Urges Microsoft to Extend Windows 10 Support Beyond October 14 Deadline07:03 From Backup Anomaly Detection to MCP Reliability: AI and Cyber Resilience Are Converging in the IT Stack09:48 From Oracle's AI Gamble to Students Skipping Homework: Who Really Captures the Value of Technology? This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by: https://timezest.com/mspradio/https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship Webinar:   https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Mental health issues like depression and anxiety are widespread across the globe. In the U.S. alone, nearly one in five adults is affected by mental illness each year Magnesium plays a central role in brain function, mood regulation, and stress response; deficiency is common and linked to anxiety, depression, poor sleep, and cognitive decline Vitamin D directly influences brain chemistry and inflammation, supports dopamine production, and is frequently low in individuals with mood disorders These two nutrients work synergistically. Magnesium activates vitamin D, while vitamin D enhances magnesium absorption; co-supplementation provides greater mental health benefits than either alone The best way to increase vitamin D is through regular midday sun exposure, while magnesium is increased through supplementation with well-absorbed forms like glycinate, malate, or L-threonate

Online crime is accelerating, making cybersecurity a fast-growing and resilient investment opportunity. Our Cybersecurity and Network and Equipment analyst Meta Marshall discusses the key trends driving this market shift.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Meta Marshall, Morgan Stanley's Cybersecurity and Network and Equipment Analyst. Today – the future of digital defense against cybercrime. It's Friday, September 12th, at 10am in New York.Imagine waking up to find your bank account drained, your business operations frozen, or your personal data exposed – all because of a cyberattack. Today, cybersecurity isn't an esoteric tech issue. It impacts all of us, both as consumers and investors. As the digital landscape grows increasingly complex, the scale and severity of cybercrime expand in tandem. This means that even as companies spend more, the risks are multiplying even faster. For investors, this is both a warning and an opportunity.Cybersecurity is now a $270 billion market. And we expect it to grow at 12 percent per year through 2028. That's one of the fastest growth rates across software. And here's another number worth noting: Chief Information Officers we surveyed expect cybersecurity spending to grow 50 percent faster than software spending as a whole. This makes cybersecurity the most defensive area of IT budgets—meaning it's least likely to be cut, even in tough times.This hasn't been lost on investors. Security software has outperformed the broader market, and over the past three years, security stocks have delivered a 58 percent return, compared to just 22 percent for software overall and 79 percent for the NASDAQ. We expect this outperformance against software to continue as AI expands the number of ways hackers can get in and the ways those threats are evolving.Looking ahead, we see a handful of interconnected mega themes driving investment opportunities in cybersecurity. One of the biggest is platformization – consolidating security tools into a unified platform. Today, major companies juggle on average 130 different cyber security tools. This approach often creates complexity, not clarity, and can leave dangerous gaps in protection particularly as the rise of connected devices like robots and drones is making unified security platforms more important than ever.And something else to keep in mind: right now, security investments make up only 1 percent of overall AI spending, compared to 6 percent of total IT budgets—so there's a lot of room to grow as AI becomes ever more central to business operations. In today's cybersecurity race, it's not enough to simply pile on more tools or chase the latest buzzwords. We think some of the biggest potential winners are cybersecurity providers who can turn chaos into clarity. In addition to growing revenue and free cash flow, these businesses are weaving together fragmented defenses into unified, easy-to-manage platforms. They want to get smarter, faster, and more resilient – not just bigger. They understand that it's key to cut through the noise, make systems work seamlessly together, and adapt on a dime as new threats emerge. In cybersecurity, complexity is the enemy—and simplicity is the new superpower. Thanks for listening.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy discusses the generational differences in patience and the impact of artificial intelligence on adolescent brain development. She highlights how older generations have a default of patience, having been raised in an era where waiting was the norm, while younger generations often expect instant gratification. Dr. Kathy dives into concerns surrounding the adolescent brain, particularly the development of the prefrontal cortex during these formative years, and how AI may be influencing this process. She raises critical questions about the potential for AI to serve as a "prosthetic for thinking," possibly detracting from social interactions and cognitive growth. Join us as we explore these pressing issues and consider their implications for the future of our children.
