Today’s headline news for Canadian IT solution providers: HPE Discover 2026 wraps up in Las Vegas today, and if you’ve been following our coverage, you know we’ve had plenty to unpack this week. For the Friday edition of The Buzz, we doing something slightly different – a reporter’s notebook on what HPE’s channel leadership said when they were off the keynote stage. The quote validity extension was the headline that drew the most relief, but the backstory is more interesting than the policy change itself. HPE extended standard quotes from 14 days to 30 days for compute, storage, and GreenLake, effective Monday. Simon Ewington, who leads HPE’s worldwide partner organisation, told press and partners Wednesday that the change was ‘pretty well kept secret’ – his own staff didn’t know about it either. The commodity volatility that had forced the two-week window had moderated enough that HPE could stand behind a 30-day price with confidence. Behind the ‘Power of One’ marketing, there are mechanical changes that determine whether partners can actually make money. Juniper’s Elite Plus, Elite, and Select tiers will map to HPE Platinum, Gold, and Silver starting November 1. HPE introduced a 3x multiplier on software sales for Zerto, Morpheus, and OpsRamp, plus a 1.5x GreenLake multiplier, to help partners climb tiers faster. Smart Choice SKUs – pre-configured servers missing only drives – are a speed play for distributors. The competitive storage take-out targets 14,000 customers under the VH Rail framing, with Alletra MP already outpacing market growth by 2x and 0% financing for three years. Then there was candour. Ewington noted HPE is the vendor who ‘typically moves first… and then others polish.’ The distributor overlap between HPE and Juniper is only about 10%, so they’re ‘refining the landscape’ rather than forcing universal carry. Service provider growth is running 23% to 30% CAGR. And HPE’s sustainability insight dashboard gives partners a concrete tool to analyse customer environments and open carbon footprint conversations.

Check out our full coverage of the event on ChannelBuzz.ca — you’ll find out HPE Discover 2026 News Hub in the menu bar at the top of the page. Welcome to The Buzz from ChannelBuzz.ca, I’m Robert Dutt, today is Friday, June 19th, and here’s what’s happening in the channel today. I’m recording this a bit earl in Las Vegas, because I’m on a plane all day heading home from Discover.  If you’ve been following our coverage this week, you know we’ve had a lot to unpack – the Partner Growth Summit on Monday, the networking and AI infrastructure keynote on Tuesday, and a steady drumbeat of announcements through Wednesday. For this episode, I want to do something slightly different. Think of it as a reporter’s notebook – the details, the mechanics, and the candour that came out when HPE’s channel leadership sat down with press and partners on Wednesday morning, off the keynote stage. Let’s start with the quote validity extension, because the backstory here is as interesting than the policy change itself. HPE extended standard quote validity from 14 days to 30 days for compute, storage, and GreenLake, effective Monday. You’ve heard that already. What you probably haven’t heard is how closely they guarded it. Simon Ewington, who runs HPE’s worldwide partner organisation, told us Wednesday that the change was a ‘pretty well kept secret.’  His own staff didn’t know about it either. They wanted zero leaks because the commodity and supply chain volatility that had forced the two-week window in the first place had finally moderated enough that HPE could stand behind a 30-day price with confidence. Keeping it quiet meant announcing it without hedging. For partners who’ve been managing customer decision cycles that simply don’t fit a 14-day window, the relief was audible. The Partner Growth Summit was dense enough that Ewington admitted partners told him it was ‘almost too much’ and they ‘needed an AI summary to recap everything.’ So let me pull out the operational details that actually affect how you navigate the program. First, Juniper integration. We now have firm tier mapping: Juniper Elite Plus goes to HPE Platinum, Elite to Gold, Select to Silver, effective November 1. HPE is also launching a Routing competency – number 15 in the framework – to support that transition. Second, multipliers. HPE introduced a 3x multiplier on software sales for Zerto, Morpheus, and OpsRamp, plus a 1.5x multiplier for GreenLake, to help partners hit higher membership tiers faster by weighting software more heavily than hardware. Third, Smart Choice SKUs – pre-configured servers that ship missing only hard drives. It’s a speed and velocity play for distributors. Fourth, the competitive storage take-out. HPE has identified 14,000 target customers for what they’re calling the VH Rail opportunity. Alletra MP is outpacing market growth by 2x, and they’re backing the migration with 0% financing for three years. These aren’t marketing headlines. These are the details that determine whether you can actually make money on the portfolio. Then there were the moments of genuine candour. Ewington’s line that HPE is the vendor who ‘typically moves first… and then others polish’ is either confidence or arrogance depending on your perspective, but it’s not ambiguous. You may have seen recently that HP formally announced its two main global distributors as Ingram Micro and TD SYNNEX. The distributor overlap reality is worth noting: only about 10% overlap between HPE and Juniper distributors. HPE is actively ‘refining the landscape’ rather than forcing every distributor to carry everything. That’s a concession that operational integration takes time and care. On services, HPE is expanding partner-branded services so partners own the Level 1 and 2 support relationship while HPE stays in the background for Level 3 and 4. Ewington said this largely came about because there have been some large partners who have declined to get closer to HPE because of the company’s previous retisense to allow partners to lead on services around its gear.  For service providers specifically, leadership cited 23% to 30% CAGR growth rates, and they’re opening CloudOps software to CSPs to build new services around. And on sustainability, which came up in the context of AI’s energy demands, HPE has built an insight dashboard that lets partners analyse customer environments and open conversations about carbon footprint and efficiency. It’s a practical tool rather than a vague pledge. If there’s a through-line to the week, it’s that HPE is trying to make ‘Power of One’ mean something operationally, not just rhetorically. The quote validity change was a trust repair. The multiplier and tier mapping are structural incentives. The distributor and services refinements are admissions that integration is hard and takes time. Whether it all lands as promised is what we’ll be watching through the second half of this year. That’s it for this edition of The Buzz. You can find our full HPE Discover 2026 coverage on ChannelBuzz.ca – there’s a news hub in the menu bar at the top of the page. And we’ll also have more epsidoes of In The Channel from Discover next week here on the site, including more HPE executives, and more reactions from Canadian HPE partners. That’s how we’re seeing the headlines from HPE Discover. I’m Robert Dutt for ChannelBuzz.ca, thanks for listening. Have a great day.

Making a Scene Presents - Bus Routing 101: How to Mix Like a Pro Without Overcomplicating It The Mix Is Not Just Sound. It Is Traffic Control. Most independent artists start mixing with one simple goal: make every track sound better. So they open the session, click on the kick drum, add an EQ. Then they move to the snare, add a compressor. Then the lead vocal needs help, so they add more EQ, maybe a de-esser, maybe a little reverb. Then the guitars feel too loud. The drums feel too small. The background vocals are jumping out. The bass is fighting the kick. Before long, the session looks like somebody spilled cables inside the computer. That is where bus routing comes in. http://www.makingascene.org

Tom & Sam discuss playing the original 12-hole routing at Prestwick, where the first Open Championship was held in 1860, and how the course has been restored for a limited period. We explain that the layout has been brought back with heavy marshalling, temporary and restored greens, and significant logistical work to keep play safe.We talk through the history of Prestwick and the role of Old Tom Morris in setting out the 12-hole course, how it gave birth to The Open Championship and try to give you a sense as to what the course is like. You can expect a film to follow on YouTube in the coming weeks. Road to Rosapenna leaderboard from our match here Send us a message if you liked the showIf you've enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!You can follow us along below @cookiejargolf Instagram / Facebook / Twitter / YouTube / Website

"Our little home controller, building controller, it knows our electric rate, it knows the way that electric rate changes based on the time of day. It knows the PV flux, the solar flux from the solar panels. So it knows if there's excess power that the building's not using.It also knows our natural gas rate. It also knows the Bitcoin price and the network difficulty. This is all just in our software.And in real time, our building can choose, it can flip between heating with gas or with hashrate to save you the most money." ~ Tyler Stevens I am constantly shocked by how much of our everyday infrastructure is basically begging for a Bitcoin upgrade. Almost half of the world's energy is used for heat, and a quarter of it is just "comfort heat" to keep our homes and water warm. What if we generated all of that with bitcoin miners instead? I sat down with Tyler Stevens, a former aerospace thermal engineer who is currently helping spearhead the Hashrate Heatpunks movement. I've been running my own hacky miner-heater setup downstairs to survive the winter, but Tyler and the guys at the 256 Foundation are taking this to an entirely different scale. We talked about stripping away our reliance on monopolistic giants like Bitmain and finally building a fully open-source mining stack. The stakes here are high. If even a fraction of normal households swap their standard electric heating elements for ASIC chips, we're looking at a huge decentralization shift for the grid and an explosion in Bitcoin's security budget. We also get into the reality of sovereign smart homes, avoiding creepy cloud-connected thermostats, and why the "energy waste" critics are entirely blind to how thermodynamics actually works. This was an incredibly fun conversation and it proves we are still incredibly early to what home mining will eventually look like.

In Episode 105 of the Cybersecurity Readiness Podcast Series, Dr. Dave Chatterjee is joined by Andrei Robachevsky — Technical Director of the Internet Integrity Program at the Global Cyber Alliance, founding contributor to MANRS (Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security), former CTO of RIPE NCC, and former Senior Director of Technology Programs at the Internet Society — to examine a cybersecurity risk that almost no enterprise security team is governing: the internet routing layer.Opening with the June 2024 Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 BGP hijack incident — where two Brazilian network operators' routing mistakes propagated to over 300 networks across 70 countries, silently rerouting traffic for several hours without triggering a single enterprise security alert — Dr. Chatterjee frames the episode's central challenge: organizations with excellent perimeter controls, clean firewalls, and healthy identity systems can still have their user traffic redirected to unintended destinations by failures occurring on networks they have never heard of, in countries they have no operations in, governed by routing norms they have never been asked to consider.Drawing on the February 2026 MANRS Report, Robachevsky explains that the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) — the foundational routing system across nearly 80,000 autonomous networks — has no built-in authentication. Routing incidents occur 200 to 300 times per month, most of which are invisible to enterprise security teams, manifesting as unexplained outages or performance degradation rather than as identifiable threats. The implications range from SLA breaches and erosion of customer trust to man-in-the-middle exposure of silently rerouted traffic.Analyzed through Dr. Chatterjee's Commitment–Preparedness–Discipline (CPD) framework, the conversation delivers a clear and actionable message: routing security is not a network engineering problem — it is a supply chain governance problem. The tools already exist. RPKI exists. MANRS exists. MANRS+ is nearly here. The gap is entirely on the governance side, and it is closeable. The organizations that will not find themselves in the next routing incident are the ones that start with a map of their connectivity supply chain and a single question to every provider: Are you MANRS+ certified?To access and download the entire podcast summary with discussion highlights - https://www.dchatte.com/episode-105-the-invisible-layer-governing-routing-security-as-a-supply-chain-risk/Connect with Host Dr. Dave ChatterjeeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dchatte/ Website: https://dchatte.com/Books PublishedThe DeepFake ConspiracyCybersecurity Readiness: A Holistic and High-Performance ApproachArticles & Cases PublishedChatterjee, D.

Episode Info Jason Cass is the co-owner of The Insurance Alliance, co-owner of Virtual Intelligence, founder of Agency Intelligence, and one of the most recognized voices in the independent insurance industry. A veteran agency owner, speaker, and podcaster, he built a profitable three-location agency that runs both virtually and digitally. He was named Illinois Young Agent of the Year in 2005, served as Chairman of the National Young Agents Council from 2011 to 2013, and authored Customer Service is Just Foreplay in 2013. His newest book, Future Ready: The Strategic Case for Structure, Routing, and Scale, co-authored with Mitch Gibson, lays out how independent agencies must evolve in the age of AI and automation. Jason hosts the Agent's Influence and Agency Intelligence podcast series and continues to be a leading advocate for independent agents across the country. Episode Overview: This episode of The Future of Insurance features Jason Cass, a prominent voice in the independent insurance agent channel, as he discusses the transformative impact of AI on the industry. Cass, who has been in the insurance industry since 2002 and owns multiple companies, shares his insights on how AI, particularly "agentic AI," is poised to reshape the role of agents and brokers. Key Takeaways: AI as a Disruptor and Enabler: Cass emphasizes that while AI won't eliminate agents, it will fundamentally change how they operate. He draws parallels to past technological shifts like the internet, noting that while agents feared obsolescence, the channel adapted and evolved. AI, however, presents a more significant shift. Efficiency and Cost Reduction: AI's primary impact will be on operational efficiency, significantly reducing the cost of labor within agencies. Cass predicts that within two to three years, agencies adopting AI could see their people costs drop from 55-65% of revenue to 20-30%. This translates to substantial savings, enabling agencies to reinvest or grow. The Evolving Workforce: The adoption of AI will lead to a shift in agency staffing. While immediate layoffs are unlikely, there will be a transition. Smart agencies will retrain existing staff, focusing on tasks that AI cannot perform. The "swing efficiency score" will be crucial in measuring this transition. Shift in Licensed vs. Virtual Roles: Cass forecasts a significant change in the makeup of agency staff. Agentic bots, costing around $3,000-$5,000 annually, will replace some licensed roles that currently command salaries of $80,000+. Agencies will likely hire more virtual employees at lower costs to manage these bots, leading to a reduction in the number of highly paid, licensed individuals within an agency. Regulatory and Licensing Considerations: The question of whether AI can be licensed as an agent is a complex one. Cass believes that currently, AI cannot be licensed, and there are significant regulatory hurdles to overcome. He speculates that this may evolve in the future but emphasizes the current need for licensed human oversight. Opportunities Created by AI: Beyond cost savings, AI opens up new avenues for growth. Cass highlights the potential for AI to help agents better understand risk quality, align clients with the right markets, and navigate the complexities of policy forms and carrier appetites. The emergence of AI itself is also creating a need for new insurance coverages, similar to the rise of cyber insurance. The Importance of Adoption and Education: Cass stresses that agents who embrace AI will thrive, while those who resist will be left behind. He advocates for education and training within agencies to help staff become comfortable with AI tools like Claude. The "Artificial Intelligence Utilization Score" (AIU) will become a key metric for success. The Role of Carriers and Technology Providers: Carriers need to adapt by developing their own AI solutions and partnering with agents to facilitate AI adoption. Technology providers must focus on creating practical, integrated solutions that solve real agency problems, such as routing engines that effectively manage the workflow between humans and AI. Beyond Fear: Embracing the Future: Cass acknowledges the fear surrounding AI but encourages a proactive approach. He believes that embracing AI will lead to greater job satisfaction, improved client service, and a more robust and attractive insurance industry overall. The key is to focus on the opportunities and develop a culture of adaptation. This episode is brought to you by The Future of Insurance book series (future-of-insurance.com) from Bryan Falchuk.

Big pod today, and of course we start with the fantastic win by Aaron Rai, he came from behind, but what a final day - particularly the last 9 or 10 holes on (his) Sunday. Mark says if you're going to win a golf tournament, that's the way to do it....Nick says that the finish was insane. We discuss the clubs he had in the bag.Aaron of course was the headline, but there were other notable performances. Cam Smith had a cracking tournament, and was in the hunt until midway through the final day. We discuss the challenges of him parting ways with his coach prior to the tournament. And Nick and Mark talk about his swing, Mark has a video from the weekend of Cam that he breaks down and discusses, and talks about how Trevor Imelman had some great observations on Cam's swing on the commentary. Min Woo played well, but couldn't keep it going through the weekend, and Nick said that when Jon Rahm birdied the first two holes he thought we were on. Nick and Mark both agreed, great to see Rahm playing well.We discuss the golf ball rollback, and the ball Cameron Young used in the tournament....interesting...leads to a chat about drivers and bifurcation.For Hostplus, our plus for golf this week was Aaron Rai - not the win as such, but the dedication to his family, which was beautiful to see.From a plus, to a negative. Ryan Ang at the weekend on the China Tour. It's quite disgraceful that he is even playing at the moment, and it's something that the various tours need to fix.Mark raises the routing at Kingston Heath for the Australian Open, he doesn't like it, and implores Golf Australia to change it saying it 'isn't too late'!After the turn, for Betr, Nick lists the Top 5 nicest players in golf....spoiler alert, Aaron Rai makes the list!Feedback for Southern Golf Club, we hear from you on Aaron Rai, Keegan Bradley, Garrick Higgo, Cheating, Inhoi Hur, the Australian Open news from a week or two ago, and feedback on Nicks comments about Cam Smith last week.And for PING, who'll help you play your best, Nick takes us around the world with the PING Globals.We wrap the show with a great masterclass for the Golf Clearance Outlet, inspired by Aaron Rai, Mark's masterclass is on 'courage'.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Hostplus, Talk Birdie To Me's official retirement partnerBMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;The Find My Player app - follow every player on every tour;And Southern Golf Club.

Long before “AI Agent” was the buzzword in every product discussion, Julia Dalton was already deep into solving the problems of coordinating thousands of worker agents, creating clear instruction prompts, and evaluating output quality. Julia is SVP of Product at the AI-support automation platform, Capacity. Previously, she helped scale workflow orchestration at OneSpace, formerly known as Crowdsource, where thousands of freelancers executed microtasks for major retailers. As it turns out, managing humans at scale and managing AI agents have a lot more in common than most people realize. In this episode, Julia shares: The two failure modes that kill every AI agent before the model ever runs Why running a crowdsourced work platform gave her incredible insights into building effective agentic AI products How Julia and her team built an AI system to triage and prioritize product feedback, automating low-complexity builds and helping make better decisions on high-stakes tradeoffs Links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliadalton/ Capacity: https://capacity.com/ Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:52 Julia's startup roots at OneSpace 02:00 Transitioning from the human API to AI agents 02:47 Microtasking workflow chains 06:54 Routing rules and AI orchestration 11:55 Validating prompts with simulations 15:08 Recursive prompting in practice 17:46 Data and knowledge orchestration 20:57 PRP triage app for product requests 26:56 Conclusion Follow LaunchPod on YouTube We have a new YouTube page!

In this episode of PING, APNIC Chief Scientist Geoff Huston discusses the tortuous history of The CIDR report Classless Inter-Domain Routing or CIDR, is a mechanism defined in the 90s, to replace the former model of fixed sized networks defined in RFC791 called class-A class-B or class-C (there were actually class-D and class-E but for now we can ignore them) -the "Classless" part means no longer obeying the fixed bit-pattern at the "top" of the address (in the top 3 bits) which defined which class you were in, the classes defining how many addresses were in that block: a Class-A was 17 million, a Class B was 65,000 and a Class C was 256. This worked fine for the early life of the Internet, but under the stresses of exponential growth in the 1990s a new method for allocating addresses was defined, which exploited this "classless" model and allowed people to be given sizes between 17 million and 65,000 or between 65,000 and 256. -Which in turn fixed two problems: access to addresses into the future (through the Regional Internet Registry model of justified need for addressing) and the scaling problems of the routing mechanism. Routing has roots which reach back into the 1950s when a class of methods for describing how to exchange information about paths in a system called "Bellman Ford" was defined. This mechanism came all the way into the future alongside the growth of the Internet and replaced other models of routing which had emerged in networks such as DECnet from Digital Equipment corperation, and we now know as the ubiquitous BGP4 for Border Gateway Protocol, version 4 (a very good name, for the 4th version of something which was modified from the equally well named BGP3, to add in CIDR models of prefixes. The CIDR report grew out of the need to understand who was causing the stress inside BGP, a public commons of everyones routing assertions, where if you did what was entirely rational for you to engineer better routes by announcing more of them, you made every other BGP4 speaker incur a cost. The report helped identify who was the "noisy" BGP speaker, which Autonomous Systems (AS) were responsible and how much more effective could they be, and still achieve their engineering outcome. It was an early version of "nudge" theory, using naming-and-shaming to publicly expose the damage any BGP speaker did to the commons, in a public record. Geoff has been running the CIDR report continuously for over 2 decades, following on from the work of Tony Bates and Phil Smith at Cisco. But, carried into the modern era, after so much discussion of the declining importance of BGP routing on the Internet in a world of "names based" steering for content, how relevant IS the CIDR report?

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bizpod/BEP421-Logistics-2.mp3 Welcome back to Business English Pod for the second lesson in our series on English for logistics. In this lesson, we're going to focus on routing and capacity. Look at the labels of the items on your desk or in your home and you'll appreciate just how critical international trade is. It's easy to take it all for granted and forget that the entire system depends on a very complex supply chain. Until, of course, politics gets in the way, and suddenly the whole world is thinking about logistics! Getting products and materials from point A to point B involves a lot of moving parts and a lot of important decisions. Manufacturers and retailers' business models depend on optimizing logistics. And central to that work is figuring out routing, or the particular pathway of shipments, as well as storage and capacity. Talking about routing requires special vocabulary related to transportation. You will also need to talk about how cargo is handled and how it is stored, or warehoused. And in discussing these matters, you'll find it useful to keep a broad perspective and be able to reject options that aren't quite right. In today's dialog, we'll rejoin a conversation between a production manager named Cam and a logistics manager named Anna. Cam's company, Boston Vintage, manufactures clothing in Eastern Europe for distribution in several parts of the world. Boston Vintage is working with Anna's company, Global Freight Express, to support their complex logistics needs. Listening Questions 1. Why does Cam reject the regular “carrier loop” as an option for transporting their goods? 2. What are some of the terms used to discuss shipping containers and capacity? 3. What possible problems does Anna mention related to “warehousing?” Premium Members: PDF Transcript | Quizzes | PhraseCast | Lesson Module Download: Podcast MP3>>> The post BEP 421 – English for Logistics 2: Routing and Capacity first appeared on Business English Pod :: Learn Business English Online.

Bill Catania of OneRail talks about why visibility isn't fixing the last mile, simplifying complex tech stacks & translating AI investment into outcomes.  IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [02.49] An introduction to Bill and OneRail, and how their commitment to innovation and collaboration has seen many of their customers become investors. "About a third of our capital has come from our partners – and there's no greater compliment." [05.38] OneRail's attendance at Manifest over the years, and the current conversations dominating the show, from AI to partnership. "AI is the topic of the day. I don't want to say it's an over-used term, but we have to be specific. Is it AI-native, agentic AI or AI optimization?" [07.51] How OneRail has evolved alongside their customers needs, the current landscape of last mile, and how the big factors impacting it are translating into challenges for businesses. "Wholesalers have to solve problems further up in the order stream." "When you have a start-up, you learn more about yourself as you grow. Our early positioning was last mile orchestration. That's not what we are any more. We're a transformation enabler for the whole order lifecycle." [12.21] Visibility alone doesn't solve problems – why execution is key. "Visibility is a great thing, there's a lot of growth from a tech standpoint. But the industry is looking at visibility and saying: 'Now what?'" [14.39] Why visibility is only a starting point, how OneRail future-proofed their platform by building with AI from the ground up, and how companies should be using AI now. [22.43] Why early AI investments aren't necessarily driving the expected outcomes, the importance of simplifying complex tech stacks, and why AI is making SaaS solutions work harder. "There's a lot of experimentation, but it all comes back to working with solutions that are natively producing primary data. And you need to narrow your stack." [25.34] Turning AI and visibility into outcomes. "The problem is not having a clear vision of what the outcomes need to be… Be an expert in your outcomes. If you can't work backwards, I don't see how you can even implement an AI solution." [26.58] How OneRail implemented an AI delivery support solution, where AI answered 41% of calls for faster customer response times and increased profitability, and the importance of finding the balance between people and technology. [28.38] The opportunities for growth when you work with OneRail, how continuous improvement is critical to success, and why OneRail is putting a focus on profit-per-stop to turn transportation from cost center to revenue driver. [33.11] Bill's advice for making your next steps with AI a success. [36.40] The intersection of shopper marketing, payments and supply chain – what excites Bill about the future of the industry, and his predictions for 2026.

One of Matt's aims for 2026 was realised last week when he finally locked eyes on Cathedral Golf Club. We start the episode with a wide-ranging preliminary chat touching on a range of topics. The cost of public golf in the Hunter Valley, Church pew bunkers at Curlewis, the recent series of Womens Australian events (including the Australian Open and WPGA) and Hannah's triumphs, Sam McClure's articles and Rory's wish to visit New South Wales GC.   We then move onto the course at club at Cathedral and cover all manner of points. Routing, clubhouse, location, turf conditions, and more. Similarities with Ellerston, best holes, the integral role of the dry creek beds through the routing – even the drive to and from. Cathedral is a course that a lucky but small minority of Australian golfers will see, yet all those who are fortunate enough to visit will no doubt enjoy. Did we get it wrong on Cathedral in the 2025 Australian Golf Passport Top 50 Rankings?

AJ's big, grand vacation to SE Asia, complete with pretty caddies and full body MRIs, ends before it begins. Nixed. Kaput. Cancelled. The boys take guesses at who's to blame for the calamity and well… the result kinda speaks for itself. (Tip: One finger salute to @qatarairways.) After all the ranting and arm waving, AJ opens the floor for suggestions on how to fill the rest of his staycation. The boys ponder a multitude of golf activities while pining for a little more Tiger on the tube. The guys also run through the Warped Tour DC lineup for 2026 to gauge the Iceman's interest but he's too busy fantasy booking WWDC '26. No macrodosing here, it's a full 10mg dose of show this week.

Matt Ahlborg, founder of PPQ.ai, rejoins the show for an update on the rapidly evolving AI landscape. PayPerQ is a bitcoin enabled ai platform that enables users to easily use all of the top ai tools without an account. Users pay per use with bitcoin and can switch the models they use on the fly without needing to provide an email address, phone number, or billing address. We discuss the rise of lean teams supercharged by AI tools, the subscription vs. pay-per-token model debate, and why massive subsidies from companies like Anthropic and OpenAI likely will not last. Ahlborg breaks down PPQ's "AutoClaw" smart routing feature that blends cheap and expensive models to cut costs, the addition of secure enclave models for privacy conscious users, and how OpenClaw's explosion drove a 400% revenue increase for PPQ.PayPerQ: https://ppq.ai/PayPerQ on Nostr: https://primal.net/p/nprofile1qqsdy27dk8f9qk7qvrm94pkdtus9xtk970jpcp4w48k6cw0khfm06mss64u96PayPerQ on X: https://x.com/PPQdotAI Matt on X: https://x.com/MattAhlborgEPISODE: 197BLOCK: 942174PRICE: 1412 sats per dollar(00:02:57) Matt Ahlborg of PPQ.ai and the fast pace of AI(00:04:48) Early‑AI "Wild West": workflows, tiny teams, and hiring realities(00:07:58) Who benefits most from AI?

Your dashboards show you what's happening. Process mining shows you why — and what to do about it. In this episode, Bobby Brill sits down with Dan Grady to demystify process mining: what it is, how it works within the ServiceNow platform, and why organizations using it are uncovering years of hidden inefficiency they never knew existed. Dan walks through real customer stories — from a double approval process for printer toner that was costing 2 days per request to a single form-field change that saved 7 years of manual work per month — and explains how process mining moves you from raw data to actionable insight faster than any traditional approach. Dan Grady has a technology career that spans over 25 years. The last 10 spent at ServiceNow. In his current role as Director of Product Management, he is focused on helping customers identify process improvement opportunities through the use of ServiceNow's Process and Task Mining solution. Outside of the office, he enjoys spending time with his wife and 3 girls, public speaking, bad NY sports teams, a good happy hour deal, and storytelling. Whether you're new to ServiceNow or a seasoned admin, this episode will change how you think about your workflows.

Watch Us On YouTube! Air India and Boeing are back in the headlines, and the questions aren't getting smaller. This week, Ed and Richard break down what we know — and what we don't — about the latest fuel switch reporting, what responsibility lies with Boeing versus airline operations, and why early narratives in aviation stories are often incomplete. From there, things get lighter: Frontier is giving away 5,000 miles (yes, really), Hyatt launches a new promotion that's worth a closer look, Aeroplan adds ITA Airways as a partner, and we revisit one of the most important lessons in modern travel: always have a backup flight plan. If irregular operations have taught us anything lately, it's that flexibility isn't optional anymore. Scroll down for timestamps and details.
