Infusion services make up a roughly $150 billion market in the U.S., and underpin the financial stability of major service lines, especially oncology. Historically, health systems have enjoyed strong volumes, favorable reimbursement, and access to 340B discounts that keep their infusion business profitable. But rising competition, payer and employer driven site of care shifts, and looming policy changes are putting pressure on what many leaders have relied on as a stable, margin accretive business. In this episode, host Abby Burns sits down with Advisory Board expert Chloe Bakst to break down what's actually happening in the infusion market — and why every health system leader should be paying closer attention. Together, they explore how new competitors are capturing leakage you may not even see, how payers and employers are steering patients away from hospital outpatient departments, and how upcoming 340B reforms and Medicare drug price negotiations could reshape the economics of infusion over the next three years. Chloe also shares the strategies forward thinking systems are using to protect their infusion business and prepare for rapidly emerging headwinds.

Ilika PLC (AIM:IKA, OTCQX:ILIKF, FRA:I8A) CEO Graeme Purdy talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest operational milestones, early revenues, and progress across both its Stereax and Goliath solid-state battery programmes following the release of Ilika's half-year results. Purdy explained that Ilika has resumed deliveries of Stereax batteries after successfully completing the technology transfer to manufacturing partner Cirtec Medical in the US. Customers are now receiving physical product again, allowing them to restart engineering work and integrate Stereax batteries into their own technology platforms. Importantly, Ilika has also announced its first follow-on commercial order for electrodes, a manufacturing step retained in the UK, marking the start of revenue generation from Stereax. Turning to Goliath, Purdy outlined how customer validation has now been completed on both the 2Ah and larger 10Ah solid-state cells. Feedback from early testing helped identify the strengths of the technology and confirmed Ilika's competitive position. He noted that a Tier One customer described Ilika as being “in the leading cohort of solid state battery developers”, which he said was reassuring as the company scales up. The 10Ah Goliath cells are now with customers and represent a credible size for module and pack integration. Purdy highlighted the potential value proposition for electric vehicle manufacturers, including lower pack costs, weight reductions of around 20%, improved range, and faster charging times. Looking ahead, Purdy said Ilika is focused on further validation, agreeing minimum viable products with customers, and identifying early commercial opportunities, potentially at the 10Ah scale, in order to freeze product design and begin generating revenues.

If North Dakota's oil industry could be represented by a single personality, it would be Continental Resources founder Harold Hamm. So when Hamm says he's laying down his drilling rigs because low oil prices mean there's no margin in operating them, it got a lot of attention from the public. Oil tax revenues, both directly and indirectly, provide the lion's share of our state's funding. Is it time to panic? Not yet says Justin Kringstad, the executive director of the North Dakota Pipeline Authority. "No major warning signs to start panicking about, but we'll keep watching it," he said on this episode of Plain Talk. "If the announcement by Continental is the start of something bigger, then absolutely, we certainly need to get on top of that right away and understand what the impacts would be for the state and as a whole." "We need to watch the rig counts closely," he added. What prompted Hamm to act, Kringstad said, is a global oversupply of oil. Asked if President Donald Trump's push to bring more Venezuelan oil to the marketplace is a part of that problem, Kringstad said not yet. "The Venezuelan situation, just stepping back and looking at global oil markets, is not a major impact at all really on any of key markets" for the time being, he said. Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I discuss the debate over universal school meals at the special session in Bismarck If you want to participate in Plain Talk, just give us a call or text at 701-587-3141.

In this episode of the Hoopsology Podcast, we dive deep into the business of basketball with Sportico's sports valuations reporter Kurt Badenhausen. If you want to understand why the NBA is projecting $14.3 billion in revenue, how the new $76 billion media rights deal works, and what the future of NBA team valuations looks like, this is a must-watch conversation. Kurt breaks down how the NBA's massive new TV and streaming partnerships with NBC, Amazon, and ESPN/ABC will reshape the league for years to come. He explains why ratings matter—but aren't the whole story—and how younger audiences consuming basketball on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram play a major role in the NBA's future. We also explore the booming growth of WNBA valuations, the explosion of investment in women's sports, and why new leagues like Unrivaled, Athletes Unlimited, and the Big3 are gaining traction in ways other sports cannot. Kurt discusses: Why every NBA team will get a $40 million revenue bump Why reducing the number of NBA games is impossible How the Warriors became the most valuable franchise in sports The long-term impact of legalized sports betting and integrity concerns Why basketball is uniquely suited for alternative leagues How NIL is reshaping college sports and empowering young athletes What Juju Watkins investing in a pro team means for the future This episode is filled with insights about the economics of sports, team valuations, league strategy, and the media landscape that drives everything behind the scenes.

Jeannette Linfoot speaks with Fergal O'Connor, the highly competitive founder and CEO of Buymedia, one of the fastest-growing companies in Ireland. In this episode, Fergal shares how Buymedia is continuing its rapid growth, recently launching into the UK market as part of its mission to transform the global advertising landscape. Fergal explains how he is democratising the advertising world for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by leveraging AI to ensure every pound of ad spend delivers real business results. He opens up about his story, his deep competitive drive, and his unexpectedly shy nature. Fergal explains why: Revenues and customers will solve most of the business problems. You can go fast by yourself, but you can't go far unless you have a high-energy team around you. Why asking “Please tell me where my baby is ugly" to find what is wrong with your product or process early will help you solve it.

Ekco, one of Europe's leading security-first managed service providers, has announced the opening of its new headquarters, featuring a state-of-the-art Security Operations Centre (SOC), in Dublin's Grand Canal Dock. The opening comes as Ekco is targeting revenues exceeding €100 million in Ireland and €200 million globally by year-end 2025. Together, the new HQ and SOC will enable Ekco to accelerate its growth in Ireland, boost cyber resilience for businesses, and deliver an enhanced offering to customers. This is Ekco's third global SOC and builds on the success of its existing cybersecurity facilities in the UK and Malaysia. It will help to meet growing customer demand for advanced cybersecurity products and services. The SOC will combine advanced threat detection capabilities with Ekco's expert analysts to identify and respond to threats quickly, and protect businesses from evolving cyber risks. It will also support compliance and enable businesses to align with regulatory requirements, while safeguarding personal and company information. The SOC can automatically take action when serious threats are detected, including isolating affected devices without the need for manual intervention, helping to ensure faster protection. Ekco's incident response team has also grown in order to respond to security incidents more effectively, with responses to potential threats increasing by more than 200% over thepast six months. Following a number of strategic acquisitions in Ireland - amounting to seven in the last two years - the new HQ will provide a central hub for Ekco's approximately 500 employees in Ireland. It will contribute to enhanced collaboration between teams to facilitate more comprehensive customer solutions, while also streamlining processes and service delivery. In addition, the new HQ provides boosted capacity and will enable the company to expand its customer base in Ireland, with plans to increase the number of customers by 15% in 2026. This will include growth in the public, finance, legal, and professional services sectors. Ekco is also on a path of aggressive global growth and is continuing to expand in key international markets including the UK, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the U.S. Steve MacNicholas, CEO Ireland, Ekco, said: "The opening of our new Dublin headquarters signifies our commitment to safeguarding businesses and driving consistent growth for Ekco in Ireland. We are on an exciting acquisition path, supplemented by planned organic growth, and this new hub will provide a central location for employees to collaborate. Furthermore, as our team continues to grow internationally, this state-of-the-art facility cements our commitment to Ireland as a leader in cybersecurity. "The launch of our third SOC represents a significant step for our business as we look to meet the ever-increasing demand for future-ready cybersecurity services. This will enable us to deliver an enhanced service to our customers, ultimately helping businesses to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats, and provide our solutions to an increased client base."

Russian Economic Stagnation and War Finance. Michael Bernstam confirms that the Russian economy is stagnating, expecting no growth for years due to exhausted resources and reliance on military production. Oil and gas revenues are down significantly due to Western sanctions and high discounts, widening the budget deficit. Russia is increasing taxes, including the VAT, which drives inflation in staples. This economic pain damages the popularity of the war by hurting the low-income population—the primary source of military recruitment. 1951

London takes a hard swing at Russia: sanctions on Rosneft, Lukoil, and the “shadow fleet”.The UK just unveiled one of its most sweeping packages yet: new sanctions listings hitting Rosneft, Lukoil, cornerstones of Russia's war revenues, and dozens of tankers used to skirt the price cap. Reuters: Britain targeted “its two largest oil firms… as well as 44 tankers in the ‘shadow fleet'.” (Oct 15) (Reuters)----------This is super important.
