Podcasts about robust

My guest today is Melanie Moses, a Professor of Computer Science at the University of New Mexico, an External Faculty at the Santa Fe Institute, and Chair of the New Mexico AI Consortium. Melanie's work spans a wide range of disciplines all unified by her deep understanding of complexity theory.In our conversation, Melanie and I explore how scaling theory reveals surprising patterns across nature, technology, and society. We discuss what decentralized systems like ant colonies can teach us about building more robust AI, and what the immune system tells us about information networks. We also delve into the costs of building scalable infrastructure, and why we might need new approaches to governance that can scale with our global challenges. Finally, we explore whether there could ever be a universal scaling law and what young researchers should know about pursuing interdisciplinary paths. I hope you enjoy our discussion.You can follow me on X (@⁠ProfSchrepel⁠) and BlueSky (@⁠ProfSchrepel⁠).References:Melanie Moses' Biological Computation Lab https://moseslab.cs.unm.eduMetabolic Scaling From Individuals to Societies (PhD, 1993) https://www.unm.edu/~melaniem/DISSERTATION_MEM.pdfCities as Organisms: Allometric Scaling of Urban Road Networks (2008) https://www.jtlu.org/index.php/jtlu/article/view/29Biologically inspired design principles for Scalable, Robust, Adaptive, Decentralized search and automated response (RADAR) (2011) https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/5954663

AOTI Inc. CEO Dr. Mike Griffiths joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a key milestone in the company's commercial expansion strategy: the successful approval of a new Provider ID in California. This designation allows AOTI to begin securing insurance coverage and reimbursement for its patented TWO2® Topical Wound Oxygen therapy in the country's most populous Medicaid market, paving the way for broader growth in late 2026. California represents a major strategic opportunity, with 14.7 million individuals—or 38% of the population—covered under Medi-Cal, the state's Medicaid program. The addition of California marks the third state in 2025 where AOTI has secured provider status, aligning with the company's guidance of adding two to three states annually as part of its U.S. expansion. Griffiths emphasized that the TWO2® therapy, which is non-invasive and self-administered at home, has been clinically proven to significantly reduce the recurrence of Diabetic Foot Ulcers. Robust randomized controlled trials and real-world evidence have shown an 88% reduction in hospitalizations and a 71% reduction in amputations over 12 months—outcomes that not only improve quality of life but reduce healthcare system burden. Financially, AOTI reported 26% revenue growth in the first three months of the period and 37% growth for the six months ended March 31, 2025—driven by strong post-IPO momentum. Despite these short-term headwinds, AOTI remains confident in its long-term growth trajectory, forecasting mid-teens revenue growth and low double-digit adjusted EBITDA margins for FY 2025. The company views current macroeconomic challenges as transitional and reaffirmed its commitment to executing its strategic plan and expanding market access for its differentiated wound care technology. #proactiveinvestors #aotiinc #aim #aoti #DiabeticFootUlcers #WoundCare #OxygenTherapy #HealthcareInnovation #Medicaid #VeteransHealth #CaliforniaHealthcare #ProactiveInvestors

Canagold Resources Ltd (TSX:CCM, OTCQB:CRCUF) CEO Catalin Kilofliski talked with Proactive about the company's newly released feasibility study for its New Polaris gold project. The study outlines robust project economics, with Kilofliski confirming it would generate around $1.1 billion in free cash flow at current gold prices. Even at a conservative gold price of $2,500 per ounce, the project still delivers a 30% after-tax internal rate of return (IRR) and an NPV of $425 million. “Those are outstanding results,” said Kilofliski. Notably, these figures exclude any upside from antimony – a critical metal present in the deposit. The CEO highlighted the significance of the 5,000 tonnes of antimony in the current mine plan, estimating its value between $200 million and $300 million, and emphasised the strategic importance of non-Chinese supply sources: “Up until recently… 90% of antimony used globally is produced in China.” Kilofliski also detailed Canagold's collaborative approach to permitting with the Taku River Tlingit First Nation, noting a decade-long relationship and an active technical working group. Key near-term milestones include filing the environmental assessment later this year, while long-term goals include adding green energy and expanding gold and antimony resources.

New Found Gold Corp CEO Keith Boyle joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the results of the company's Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the AFZ Core zone at its Queensway Gold Project, located near Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador. The report marks the first comprehensive look at the economic viability of the project and highlights its potential to become a low-cost, high-margin gold producer. The PEA outlines a 15-year life-of-mine (LOM) with total gold production of 1.5 million ounces, averaging an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of US$1,256/oz and a total cash cost of US$1,085/oz. In a base-case scenario using a gold price of US$2,500/oz, the after-tax NPV5% is $743 million with an IRR of 56.3%. When modeled at a higher gold price of US$3,300/oz, the NPV increases dramatically to $1.45 billion, and IRR rises to an impressive 197%. The company is targeting initial gold production by Q3 2027, pending regulatory approvals. Phase 1 construction is expected to begin that same year. In preparation, New Found Gold is advancing an aggressive 70,000-metre drilling program aimed at upgrading and expanding its initial mineral resource estimate (MRE). Further work includes environmental baseline studies, engineering trade-offs, and project definition activities. Boyle also emphasized the expansion potential at Queensway, citing more than 110 km of strike length for future exploration and the opportunity for camp-scale development beyond the current resource area. This PEA positions New Found Gold to transition into a significant gold producer in Atlantic Canada, aligning with its strategic vision of building and operating a world-class gold mine in Newfoundland. #proactiveinvestors #newfoundgoldcorp #tsxv #nfg #nyseamerican #nfgc #gold #mining #NewFoundGold #KeithBoyle #MiningNews #GoldExploration #PEAResults #NewfoundlandMining #ResourceDevelopment #JuniorMining #ProactiveInvestors

AI is transforming the world of work at speed—but with great potential comes a need for clarity, accountability, and smart, human-centred decisions. That's why we developed the TRUSTED AI framework at LACE Partners: a practical, values-led model to help organisations adopt AI in ways that are responsible, secure, and truly useful. In this episode of the HR on the Offensive podcast, Chris Howard sits down with LACE AI experts Martin Colyer and Charlie Frost to unpack the framework and what it means for forward-thinking HR teams wanting to trust in AI. Introducing the TRUSTED AI Framework We've also published two companion blogs that go deeper into each element of the model—but here's a quick guide to what TRUSTED stands for: T — Technology Make sure your AI tools and infrastructure match the needs of your people and business—not the other way around. R — Regulation Stay compliant with evolving laws and ethical expectations. Responsible AI starts with knowing the rules. U — Usability If AI isn't intuitive, it won't get used. Prioritise design that blends seamlessly into everyday workflows. S — Security Keep systems and data safe. Robust protection is essential when dealing with sensitive HR information. T — Transparency Build trust by making it clear how AI decisions are made, and how tools are trained and evaluated. E — Ethics AI must be fair and accountable. Bias and unintended consequences must be actively addressed—not left to chance. D — Data High-quality, well-governed data is the fuel for reliable AI. Without it, everything else breaks down.

Today, we're joined by Fatih Porikli, senior director of technology at Qualcomm AI Research for an in-depth look at several of Qualcomm's accepted papers and demos featured at this year's CVPR conference. We start with “DiMA: Distilling Multi-modal Large Language Models for Autonomous Driving,” an end-to-end autonomous driving system that incorporates distilling large language models for structured scene understanding and safe planning motion in critical "long-tail" scenarios. We explore how DiMA utilizes LLMs' world knowledge and efficient transformer-based models to significantly reduce collision rates and trajectory errors. We then discuss “SharpDepth: Sharpening Metric Depth Predictions Using Diffusion Distillation,” a diffusion-distilled approach that combines generative models with metric depth estimation to produce sharp, accurate monocular depth maps. Additionally, Fatih also shares a look at Qualcomm's on-device demos, including text-to-3D mesh generation, real-time image-to-video and video-to-video generation, and a multi-modal visual question-answering assistant.

Every four years, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) issues its Report Card for America's Infrastructure. Expressed in reader-friendly letter grades, the ratings document the current state of the country's major infrastructure assets, while also identifying needed improvements and contextualizing the relative health of these assets over time. Today, we talk to two experts--TTI's Edith Arámbula Mercado and the Texas Department of Transportation's Jamie Farris--about ASCE's 2025 report card and how Texas ranks nationally in terms of the health and reliability of its roads and bridges.  

Second-quarter sales of new autos were mixed following a spike in March and April ahead of tariffs taking effect, while incentives were robust during the Independence Day holiday weekend. Most major manufacturers saw a rise in vehicle sales in Q2, with General Motors and Hyundai Motor America reporting the best first half of the year in terms of sales. June, however, marked a slowdown in sales for some automakers. The July 4 holiday brought a mix of 0% financing and cash back offers, with incentive spend varied by brand.  Meanwhile, credit unions are putting excess lending capacity to work, evidenced by an uptick in application volume at fintech Origence, which provides technology and financing capabilities for credit unions. While application volume rose year to date through June, the fintech's ratio of funded loans to applications fell due to higher loan-to-value ratios in the market as consumers lean on longer-term loans to manage monthly payments.  Alloya Corporate Federal Credit Union issued its first asset-backed securitization deal on July 1, a $150 million transaction backed by prime auto loans issued by Blaze Credit Union, Consumers Credit Union and Interra Credit Union.  In this episode of the “Weekly Wrap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris, Senior Associate Editor Truth Headlam and Associate Editor Aidan Bush discuss the latest updates on sales, incentives, funding and capital markets for the week ended July 4.

So you've scaled the mountain, built the nest egg, and maybe even shouted “I'm done!” across a pristine beach... now what? In today's Stacking Benjamins episode, Joe Saul-Sehy convenes a roundtable of heavy-hitters to tackle the most misunderstood phase of money management: decumulation—a.k.a. the art of spending what you've worked so hard to save. Whether you're staring down retirement or already deep into your golden years, you'll hear candid, practical insights from three financial thought leaders who specialize in making your money last. Joining Joe are Dana Anspach, retirement planning expert and founder of Sensible Money, Karsten Jeske (aka “Big ERN” from Early Retirement Now), and Frank Vasquez, aka Uncle Frank, host of Risk Parity Radio. Together, they bring decades of academic research, professional experience, and plain old common sense to questions like: What's the real safe withdrawal rate—and why does it depend on more than just spreadsheets? Should you chase simplicity or embrace complexity in managing retirement funds? What role do annuities and guaranteed income play in reducing late-life anxiety? How do you plan for cognitive decline without spiraling into existential dread? What's the difference between spending confidently... and spending carelessly? You'll also hear why lumpy expenses, long-term care surprises, and behavioral quirks can trip up even the best-laid plans—and how to bulletproof your strategy now. And yes, we get nerdy. Risk parity, sequence of return risk, and portfolio glidepaths all make guest appearances—but always with your favorite Stacking Benjamins charm and plain-English style. Because retirement doesn't need to be scary... but it does need to be intentional. Why your investment approach needs to evolve once paychecks stop The strengths and blind spots of the “4% rule” How emotions (not just inflation) affect safe withdrawal strategies When it makes sense to annuitize, and when it absolutely doesn't How to adjust for cognitive decline in your financial plan (and still maintain autonomy) The “spend conservatively early” myth—debunked Tips for managing healthcare and other unpredictable late-life costs Whether you're a retiree, a pre-retiree, or a spreadsheet-loving financial independence buff, this deep-dive episode will give you the confidence to manage the second half of your financial life like a pro. This isn't just about stretching your dollars—it's about building a life worth spending them on. So grab your planner, pour a cup of whatever says “retirement-ready” to you, and let's get smarter (and maybe just a bit weirder) about your golden years.

In this episode, Amir sits down with Anthony Jules, Co-Founder and CEO of Robust.AI, to explore how scaling lessons from the early days of Sapient translate into today's rapidly evolving world of AI and robotics. Anthony shares stories from growing a company from 3 to 4,000 people, what scale teaches you about communication and change, and how being ruthlessly honest about your business creates strategic advantage. From the hype vs. reality of AI to how hardware can stabilize innovation in robotics, this conversation is rich with insights for technologists, entrepreneurs, and leaders navigating change.

Dünya bildiğiniz ve sevdiğiniz gibi değil. İçinden geçtiğimiz bu an, eski dünya ile virüs sonrası dünya arasındaki o kırılma noktasını işaret ediyor. Küresel sistemlerimizin kırılganlığı acı verici şekilde ortaya çıkarken, merkeziyetçiliğin ve tepeden yönetimin getirdiği finansal ve toplumsal sorunlarla yüzleşiyoruz. Karmaşık sorunları çözmek için eski, kırılgan ve hata noktalarıyla dolu "eski sistemler" yetersiz kalıyor.Artık yeni bir düşünce biçimi şart. Virüs sonrası dönemin araçları şeffaf, açık ve özgürleştirici olmalı. Kapı bekçileri ve sansür, sorunları çözmek yerine daha da kötüleştirecek. Bitcoin, internet, açık kaynak yazılımlar, vatandaş gazeteciliği gibi yeni araçlar ve anlayışlar, kırılgan sistemlerden uzaklaşıp daha sağlam ve hatta anti-kırılgan yapılar inşa etmemizi sağlayacak.Bu geçiş kolay olmayacak; gelecek karanlık ve engebeli olabilir, özellikle de yalnızca eski dünyayı biliyorsanız. Ancak karmaşık sorunlar için aşağıdan yukarıya, organik çözümlerin ortaya çıkmasına ihtiyacımız var. Kişisel özgürlükleri korumak ve kişisel sorumluluğu teşvik etmek her zamankinden önemli. Bu podcast, bu zorlu geçişi, yeni araçları ve yeni düşünce biçimini anlamanıza yardımcı olmayı amaçlıyor. Fragile (kırılgan), Robust (sağlam) ve Anti-Fragile (anti-kırılgan) sistemler arasındaki farkı ve neden değişimin kaçınılmaz olduğunu keşfedin.Kaynak

In this podcast, I try to make sense of orthographic mapping, a term invented by Linnea Ehri and introduced in Chapter 15 (Ehri, 2014). We'll start with her definition: “Orthographic mapping occurs when, in the course of reading specific words, readers form connections between written unit, either single graphemes or larger spelling patterns, and spoken units, either phonemes, syllables, or morphemes. These connections are retained in memory along with meanings and enable readers to recognize words by sight. An important consequence of orthographic mapping is that the spellings of words enter memory and influence vocabulary learning, the processing of phonological constituents in words, and phonological memory” (Ehri, 2014, pp. 5-6) This is written with all the stunning clarity of a Rorschach inkblot. Let's do a bit of unpack-O-rating.

Tim Bodner, real estate deals leader at PwC, joined the latest episode of Nareit's REIT Report to discuss what today's uncertain market environment means for investment patterns and transaction activity.Bodner described transaction activity across a range of real estate sectors, including office, hospitality, senior housing, data centers, and energy infrastructure, as “fairly robust.” He stressed that the real estate sector is used to operating in periods of uncertainty and cyclical change, while noting that REITs are focusing on what they can control and are “in a good place at this stage, given everything that's going on.”He also pointed out that there's a lot of activity around figuring out what's the right scale to have to operate in this new environment, “which likely will lead to more public to public and public to private transaction activity in the REIT space.”

Jharrone Martis believes there's pockets of strength in the retail space. She points investors to Abercrombie & Fitch's (ANF) 25% rally after earnings that showed strong sales from Hollister. She also sees upside in Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) and Five Below (FIVE).

Ivan Bebek, Chair and CEO, commented, “As we deepen our understanding of the Sombrero system, our confidence in the size and potential of the broader district continues to grow. These early drill results confirm our belief that we are only beginning to unlock the value of this largely underexplored, yet highly promising, land package. Although our initial permitted polygon was quite limiting, we have been able to develop a strong pipeline of drill-ready targets across the property and eagerly await the surface data collection on new, high-grade skarn and porphyry targets. Our priority is to secure key permits which are underway, in order to position ourselves to drill the most robust outcropping areas in the next phase of drilling. We are looking forward to additional exploration results and permit advancements as we prepare for a busy second half of 2025.” Sponsor: https://coppernicometals.com/ Press Release discussed: https://coppernicometals.com/coppernico-confirms-large-scale-copper-skarn-system-and-expands-pipeline-of-priority-targets-at-sombrero/ TSX:COPR; OTCQB: CPPMF 0:00 Intro 1:02 Hit low-grade copper 4:11 Phase two drill targets 5:59 Permits 7:24 Consider a JV? 9:31 Acquisition 11:18 Copper outcrops to be drilled next 13:12 Why not start with your best targets? 15:27 Catalysts Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor Coppernico Metals pays MSE a United States dollar seven thousand per month coverage fee.

The Pulse of the Debt Markets — with Orest Mandzy, CRE Direct Capital market confidence is cautiously returning, but undercurrents of risk remain. In my wide-ranging conversation with Orest Mandzy, Managing Editor of Commercial Real Estate Direct, we discuss what recent CMBS issuance tells us about liquidity, why delinquency headlines may be misleading, and how sponsors can position themselves amid policy shocks and structural market shifts.   Liquidity Is Back — But Driven by Giants CMBS issuance jumped 110% in Q1 2025, totaling nearly $37 billion. While that headline suggests a resurgence of confidence, Orest clarifies that most of that growth comes from SASB (Single Asset, Single Borrower) deals – large trophy assets being financed and securitized by institutional players. These are not indicative of broad-based confidence in middle-market real estate.   To gauge true liquidity, he says, focus on conduit deals – pools of smaller $10M–$25M loans originated by banks and institutional lenders and repackaged into +/- $1B bond offerings. Robust conduit activity reflects a healthier market for everyday sponsors.   “If you've got solid conduit issuance,” says Orest, “that tells you there's liquidity in the market – not just for trophy deals.”   Rising Delinquencies: Real or a Red Herring? Recent headlines warned that CMBS delinquency rates exceeded 7%, the highest since 2021. But Orest has looked deeper into the data and sees it is far from being systemic. A handful of large, troubled multifamily loans, such as the $1.5B Park Merced in San Francisco and a floating-rate New York portfolio, together make up nearly 60% of those delinquencies. The common thread? These loans were made pre-COVID or in 2021 with floating-rate debt and now can't refinance in today's rate environment. But they're outliers, not bellwethers. Fannie and Freddie multifamily delinquencies remain under 1%, and even in CMBS, the average LTVs have been conservative.   “Multifamily looks worse than it is. Strip out the outliers and the market's still performing.”   CLOs, Banks, and the Competitive Landscape CMBS is just one lane in the broader lending freeway. Orest distinguishes it from CLOs, which are floating-rate, short-term loans used by debt funds for leverage, and from agencies like Fannie and Freddie, which underwrite more conservatively.   In 2024: Agencies originated ~$60B each CMBS did ~$40B CLOs only ~$8B – down sharply from peak years Debt funds relying on CLOs are now facing stiff competition from banks, which are back in the market after a cautious 2023. With banks accounting for 40% of CRE loan volume annually, this shift matters.   For sponsors, it means a broader set of options but also a new underwriting reality. Orest notes that while leverage is available, it's on tighter terms: LTVs in the low 60s and debt service coverage ratios near 2.0x are now standard for institutional-quality debt.   The Tariff Shock and Bond Market Jitters One of the most important takeaways: macro events like tariffs are now exerting real-time pressure on the capital stack.   In early April, CMBS bond spreads spiked from 80bps to 108bps over Treasuries as the market braced for a new round of tariffs. That spread spike pushed borrowing costs up and froze CMBS issuance for nearly 10 days – a signal of how fragile the system remains to policy volatility.  Although bond spreads have since tightened, Orest warns that risk repricing is now a function of policy headlines, not just economic fundamentals.   “Uncertainty is risk. And when investors sense more of it, they demand more yield. That makes loans more expensive and deal volume drops.”   Positive Leverage or No Leverage: Sponsor Guidance Asked what CRE sponsors and investors should be doing in the next 3–12 months, Orest's answer is clear: Seek positive leverage from Day One – don't rely on NOI lifts growth to bail you out. Consider no leverage at all if you're sitting on cash and don't want to risk default. Underwrite conservatively and turn over every rock. The deal you don't do may save you. “If you buy with positive leverage, great. If not, maybe don't borrow at all.”   Special Servicing > Delinquencies For investors and borrowers watching for cracks in the market, Orest recommends a lesser-known but more reliable signal: the special servicing rate in CMBS. Loans enter special servicing before they go delinquent, usually triggered by pending lease expirations, tenant loss, or anticipated refinance trouble. This metric has been rising and, unlike delinquencies, tends to stay elevated longer. Sponsors should watch this closely.   Local Policy Risk: The Property Tax Squeeze Orest flags an emerging risk with local governments under fiscal stress. Cities like San Francisco, where office values have cratered, still rely on CRE for a large share of tax revenue. If values fall but municipalities resist cutting spending, expect tax rates to rise, eroding asset value further.   “Where do cities go when they need money? To the deep pockets. And that's commercial real estate.”   Industrial and Insurance: Still in the Crosshairs While multifamily has absorbed most of the press, Orest highlights risk building in other sectors: Industrial may face headwinds from tariffs disrupting trade flows and warehouse demand. Insurance costs, especially in hurricane-prone areas, continue to rise, sometimes outpacing rent growth. In one example, he cited an apartment property in Tampa where gross revenue rose 50% in five years, but expenses outpaced it, limiting refinance options.   Geopolitics, De-Dollarization, and Exorbitant Privilege One of my concerns is about broader macro risks – de-dollarization, loss of U.S. financial credibility, and capital flight from Treasuries. Orest acknowledged these as tail risks but noted they're not front of mind for most market participants… yet.   Still, if foreign buyers ever pull back on U.S. Treasuries, that could cause a spike in long-term rates, forcing CRE valuations down and capital costs up. It's not imminent, but it's worth tracking.   “If China and Japan stop buying Treasuries, we've got a real problem. All bets are off.”   Final Thought The key insight from this episode: the market is functioning but only just. Liquidity is back, but it's conditional. Optimism exists, but it's fragile. And sponsors must walk a tightrope between opportunity and overextension.   Orest's advice? Borrow smart. Underwrite for today's risks – not yesterday's assumptions. And remember: your best defense in uncertain times is positive leverage and deep diligence.   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

Retired General Mike Minihan, former commander of Air Mobility Command and deputy commander of US Indo-Pacific Command, joins Jim and Ray to talk about how America's alarming shortfall in military airlift could affect deterrence and readiness in the Indo-Pacific and beyond.General Minihan describes logistics as "the offensive line of a [American] football team"--rarely getting the glory but essential to success. He emphasizes that mobility is "the most relied upon force in the history of warfare" and particularly crucial in the Indo-Pacific region, where vast distances and water create unique challenges compared to Europe's more accessible infrastructure."Mobility is the meaningful maneuver that can cross the tyranny of distance and the tyranny of water," Minihan explains, highlighting how air mobility enables the joint force to reach positions of advantage in meaningful timeframes.The conversation turns to Minihan's famous 2022 memo warning that the U.S. was "not ready to fight and win inside the first island chain" and needed to prepare for potential conflict by 2025. Despite the controversy it generated, Minihan stands by his assessment, explaining it was intended to drive urgent action and focus his command on Pacific readiness."I don't regret it," Minihan states, though he acknowledges the turbulence it caused. "I learned I was right."Minihan identifies several critical areas requiring immediate attention:Communication Systems: Over 90% of the air mobility fleet lacks adequate secure beyond-line-of-sight communications. Commercial airliners often have better connectivity than military aircraft.Next-Generation Systems: The Air Force needs to conceptualize air refueling and airlift as systems rather than individual platforms, potentially including stealth-like tankers for forward operations and diversified airlift capabilities.Procurement Reform: The current acquisition system is fundamentally broken. "Our major producers of American capabilities can no longer deliver on time, at cost," Minihan asserts.Minihan calls for "bold, unapologetic, urgent action" rather than more studies or reorganizations. He advocates for:Clear, precise language about deterring and defeating China, rather than vague terms like "great power competition"Robust planning focused on immediate readinessStreamlining the acquisition process to work with innovative companies beyond traditional prime contractorsEnsuring the warfighter's voice is the "loudest in the room""We should never put the president in a position where they are constrained by not having a military that's ready to decisively defeat," Minihan emphasizes.To allies in the Indo-Pacific, Minihan offers reassurance that military-to-military relationships remain strong and stable despite political fluctuations. While acknowledging improvements in readiness, integration, and agility, Minihan stresses the need to "continue to expand the advantage" through rigorous exercises and close cooperation with partners and allies.Follow us on X @IndoPacPodcast, LinkedIn, BlueSkySponsored by BowerGroupAsia

A system that grows stronger from chaos? That's not science fiction. It's nature's original design. Nassim Taleb's Antifragile isn't just a book. It's a lens—a way to see the world not as a series of risks to be avoided, but as opportunities to evolve. In this episode, we explore what it means to thrive in disorder. From ancient myths like the Hydra, to modern jobs and biological systems, we trace the pattern: fragility is punished, antifragility is rewarded. What if you built a life where setbacks made you better, not bitter? Where unpredictability wasn't a threat, but a catalyst? That's the shift we're inviting you to make. Takeaways: Design your systems to gain from shocks, not just resist them. Embrace small failures—they prevent catastrophic ones. Seek environments where your upside grows with uncertainty.
