    What if the most exciting tech of the year wasn't just shiny—it was useful, personal, and a little unsettling? We dive into our Top 10 from CES 2026 and share what genuinely moved the needle for everyday life, what felt like future shock, and where we think the line should be drawn.We start with wonder and method: viral claims about “hidden cities” beneath Antarctica meet the real tools behind the map—satellite interferometry, glacier-flow physics, and AI reconstruction. That lens helps us parse a major education study on generative AI: students are learning faster, but thinking less. We lay out the gains for reading and language, the risk of cognitive offloading, emotional bonds with chatbots, and a roadmap for classrooms that teach with AI without surrendering curiosity or equity.Then the floor opens. We count down gadgets that aim beyond spectacle: a bone-conduction lollipop that plays licensed music you can taste; an AI-powered nail system that swaps colors in seconds without chemicals; an ultrasonic chef knife that cuts clean without crushing; and a luxury smart toilet that pairs comfort with urine analysis and safety monitoring. We talk real-world scenarios—aging in place, chronic care, and the thin edge between helpful data and surveillance.The hits keep coming: a portable allergen scanner designed to flag gluten and lactose at the table, Samsung's pocketable trifold that unfolds into a true 10-inch workspace, and a stair-climbing robot vacuum that actually cleans steps and multi-floor homes on a single cycle. Our health pick of the show is a discreet perimenopause wearable that turns hot flashes, sleep disruptions, and anxiety into actionable biometrics, finally giving millions data they can use.And then there's the most talked-about demo: a hologram-like “AI soulmate” living in a curved OLED, always on, always attentive, and engineered for attachment. We unpack the appeal, the ethical minefield, and the social cost of simulating intimacy at scale. To ground it all, we spotlight a nationwide Verizon outage—phones stuck in SOS mode and a small opt-in credit—because when your life runs on networks, resilience matters more than hype.Pull up a chair, pour something good, and join us for a tour that favors clarity over buzz. If our mix of curiosity, skepticism, and humor hits the spot, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so more people can find it.

    EP 289 Building Culture, Resilience, and Brands: Lessons from XSET CEO Greg Selkoe

    Stuck in My Mind

    In this powerful episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe welcomes visionary entrepreneur Greg Selkoe, best known for founding the influential streetwear brand Karma Loop, leading the esports powerhouse Faze Clan, and now steering the cutting-edge gaming lifestyle brand XSET as CEO and co-founder. This honest, inspiring conversation is a masterclass for creators, culture builders, and anyone pursuing a dream against the odds. From the jump, Wize El Jefe sets the stage, giving listeners a glimpse into Greg Selkoe's cultural impact—from collaborations with icons like Lil Wayne, Osuna, and Pharrell's camp, to partnerships with brands like the Boston Red Sox and HyperX. But as the episode unfolds, it's clear this story goes much deeper than flashy names and million-dollar deals—it's about authentic passion, grit, resilience, and growth. The Roots of Culture Building The episode kicks off as Greg Selkoe traces his journey from Boston's vibrant street culture to global entrepreneurship. He reveals how an early obsession with breakdancing, graffiti art, skateboarding, punk rock, and hip hop influenced his worldview. Rather than seeing these movements as separate lanes, he felt at home in all of them—setting the stage for Karma Loop, which wasn't just about selling clothes, but celebrating the energy and diversity of urban culture. Greg Selkoe describes how this merged into his approach at XSET, aiming to build “a media company” that puts culture first, amplifies creators, and tells compelling brand stories. Resilience Through Setbacks One of the episode's major themes is resilience. Both Greg Selkoe and Wize El Jefe reflect on their entrepreneurial journeys, emphasizing that setbacks and failures are inevitable. Greg Selkoe shares candidly about Karma Loop's highs and lows—from its $150 million peak to private equity challenges that forced him to rebuild from scratch. He offers hard-earned lessons: “Don't think someone's going to come along and save you if you're having trouble in your business, you got to rely on yourself.” The best way not to fail? Keep going. Wize El Jefe reciprocates, sharing his own risk-taking path in podcasting, internet radio, and launching a media company. The key takeaway is treating each setback as a learning experience—a stepping stone rather than an endpoint. Business Lessons That Transcend Formal Education Unlike many entrepreneurs, Greg Selkoe didn't start with a business degree—he studied urban planning at Harvard, inspired by his mother's work. But he credits this background for shaping his community-first approach. “Passion for what I was doing came from another part of me than what normally would be... I think that authenticity came through everything we did.” Rather than targeting a market, he built organically around what he loved—and learned the other business skills on the job and through mentorship. This authenticity, he believes, gave his brands a unique edge and fostered community. Building XSET and Shifting Strategies When it came to launching XSET, Greg Selkoe and team faced fresh challenges: securing investment, building a fanbase, and educating skeptical investors about the true scale of gaming and streaming culture. Greg Selkoe recognized a major opportunity—gaming needed a lifestyle brand that felt as dynamic as Overtime, Complex, or Barstool. The vision from day one: XSET would be a lifestyle media company at the crossroads of gaming, music, fashion, entertainment, and traditional sports. However, this path wasn't linear. Initially, XSET tried to replicate Karma Loop's retail-first model, but the lack of an established fanbase made traction difficult. After two years, they made a pivotal shift—refocusing on media, content, and creator empowerment. This willingness to pivot, rather than stubbornly sticking to a plan, is a recurring lesson for entrepreneurs highlighted in the episode. Collaboration, Community, and Advice for Creators Both host and guest agree: entrepreneurship is not a solo sport. Greg Selkoe stresses the importance of asking for help, seeking mentorship, and learning from those who have traveled similar paths: “If you don't know something... that's power to say you don't know it.” He shares stories of leaning on collaborators and mentors—even in public adversity—while cautioning against burning bridges or stepping on others to succeed. Public Challenges, Private Pain, and the Power of Community The episode delves into the emotional toll of public failure. Greg Selkoe recounts the fallout from Karma Loop's bankruptcy, facing media scrutiny and industry criticism. Yet, a pivotal moment at a high-powered Silicon Valley barbecue hosted by Steve Stout and Ben Horowitz transformed his outlook. Instead of derision, he found encouragement and solidarity from fellow entrepreneurs—reminding him that to build is to stumble, but also to rise again. This network of support propelled him towards new ventures, from consulting gigs with Pharrell and streetwear legend Jeff Staple to co-founding XSET. He credits his collaborative, generous approach for attracting support in hard times, when more ruthless operators might find themselves isolated. Mental Health, Health Scares, and Resilience No journey is without personal cost. Greg Selkoe opens up about dealing with serious health issues—a genetic autoimmune condition affecting his heart, kidneys, and lungs—during a stressful business period. While stress didn't cause the problem, it certainly didn't help, underscoring the importance of self-care and resilience. Ultimately, he recovered and continued building, demonstrating that recovery—like business—requires persistence. Championing Female Gamers: The Queen's Gaming Collective A highlight of the discussion is XSET's acquisition of Queens Gaming Collective—a female-empowerment initiative in the gaming space. Greg Selkoe breaks down the significance: with 45% of gamers being female, the mainstream still overlooks their influence. By integrating Queens into XSET, they've built a more inclusive brand, landed major deals (like with Samsung), and shown that gaming culture is far broader than stereotypes suggest. The conversation paints a vision of gaming culture that's welcoming, intergenerational, and intersectional. What Does the Next Gen Media Company Look Like? As XSET grows, the company is evolving into a “next gen media studio.” Greg Selkoe explains that they now co-own YouTube deals with creators, market talent, and focus heavily on original content—streaming, recorded, and branded collaborations. Their difference? They don't operate as an agency, but as true partners—bringing creators and brands into culture-focused campaigns that move audiences and foster community. He notes that platforms like YouTube are the new TV, dominating content consumption and discovery. The Power of Unfiltered, Authentic Creation Wize El Jefe and Greg Selkoe agree: today's audiences crave authenticity. The democratization of media—through podcasting, YouTube, Twitch—enables creators to bypass gatekeepers and build direct relationships. Both reflect on their own pivots: adding video to podcasting, discovering new opportunities, and reaching audiences in meaningful ways. In a media landscape full of “agendas,” the episode champions authenticity, encouragement, and diversity. Actionable Advice for Creators and Entrepreneurs The episode closes with practical wisdom. For young creatives or those feeling stuck: Media and social media are essential for telling your story and promoting your product. Find a reason for your brand to exist—don't just copy what's out there. Expect the journey to be long and hard, not an overnight success. Seek mentorship from experienced people in your field. Write down your goals, risks, and rewards—plan, but be ready to adapt. Don't be afraid to seek help, admit what you don't know, or pivot. As Greg Selkoe puts it, most businesses fail—but resilience, authenticity, and collaboration are the keys to enduring and thriving. — In Summary This episode of Stuck In My Mind Podcast is far more than an entrepreneurial profile—it's a deep exploration of culture, community, failure, growth, and the evolving media landscape. Listeners will come away with a sense of what it truly takes to build something meaningful in today's world: honesty, resilience, a willingness to adapt, and a commitment to authentic culture. Whether you're launching a brand, leveling up your content, or simply seeking inspiration, this conversation delivers actionable insights, relatable stories, and a call to stay connected, creative, and true to yourself. Make sure to follow XSET on all major platforms, connect with Greg Selkoe, and keep tuning in to Wize El Jefe for conversations that are shaping the next generation of culture.

    Last week, we covered the best investments to preserve your money, but this week we are shifting gears to focus on growth. For retirees, the goal is to have an income that outpaces inflation, and historically, the best way to achieve that is by having 50% to 70% of your portfolio invested in stock funds. In this episode, I break down five specific Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) that can help you grow your wealth in 2026. I discuss why I prefer ETFs over mutual funds, specifically focusing on cost, transparency, and liquidity, and provide the exact ticker symbols and expense ratios for the funds I use with my own clients to build diversified, growth-oriented portfolios. If you are willing to accept some volatility to achieve higher long-term returns, this episode provides a blueprint for structuring the equity side of your retirement plan.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Top 5 Growth ETFs to Own For 2026. [02:55] Why ETFs are superior to mutual funds. [05:23] The core holding: S&P 500 ETF. [09:28] Capturing extra growth with SPYG. [06:33] Small Cap stocks and the profitability factor. [13:38] Investing in the Developed World ex-US. [15:43] High growth potential in Emerging Markets. Why Choose ETFs? Before diving into specific funds, it is important to understand why Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are often a better choice than traditional mutual funds. I prefer them for four main reasons: Cost: ETFs often have significantly lower expense ratios, some less than a tenth of a percent, compared to actively managed funds that can charge up to 2%. Performance: Many active funds struggle to outperform their benchmarks over time. Transparency: You can see exactly what an ETF holds, whereas mutual funds may only report holdings twice a year. Liquidity: You can trade ETFs throughout the day while the market is open, rather than waiting for the market close price required by mutual funds. The US Core: S&P 500 and Growth Variations For the core of a growth portfolio, I look to the S&P 500, which has averaged a 15% return over the last five years. State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (SPYM/SPSM): This fund tracks the S&P 500 but was created to offer a lower cost (0.02% expense ratio) compared to the original SPY ETF. It is a massive fund with over $100 billion in assets, heavily weighted toward large technology companies like Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft. S&P 500 Growth ETF (SPYG): If you want to lean more aggressively into growth, this fund tracks S&P 500 companies with high sales growth and momentum. It has a 3-year average return of 29% and a very low expense ratio of 0.04%. Diversifying with Small Caps While the S&P 500 is dominant, it has had "lost decades" in the past where returns were negative. To diversify, I recommend the S&P 600 Small Cap ETF. Unlike the Russell 2000, the S&P 600 index requires companies to be profitable, which filters out lower-quality stocks. Although it has lagged recently, small caps may be poised for a comeback due to economic shifts and tariffs. The expense ratio for this fund is just 0.03%. International Opportunities The US has outperformed international markets recently, but that trend could reverse. Developed World ex-US (SPDW): This fund invests in developed economies like Japan, the UK, and Canada. It offers exposure to major global players like Samsung and AstraZeneca with a low expense ratio of 0.03%. Emerging Markets (SPEM): For higher potential growth, this fund targets countries with rapidly growing GDPs, such as China, Taiwan, and India. These economies have a growing middle class, which can drive corporate earnings. The fund holds major companies like Taiwan Semiconductor and Alibaba.

    Imagine getting your lab results, feeding them into an AI, and realizing it caught a mistake your clinic didn't. That's where we start: the real promise of ChatGPT Health against the very real risks of privacy drift and model error. We unpack what “enhanced protections” actually need to look like, why accuracy and safety can't play second fiddle to consent screens, and how patients can use AI without replacing their doctor. A candid story about a dropdown gone wrong makes the stakes feel personal, not theoretical.From the body to the browser of your mind, we shift to games racing toward photorealism. GTA 6, Unrecord, and cutting‑edge racers now look like camera footage. Does that change how our brains process violence and emotion? We pull from psychology to separate moral panic from measurable effects, and dig into the design choices—tone, mechanics, exaggeration—that help players keep fiction in focus even as visuals blur the line.Then the surprise CES headliner: Lego's new Smart Brick. Sensors, light detection, NFC, and a tiny speaker turn physical builds into reactive play without a screen. We weigh the creativity boost against the risk of gimmick creep, and talk about how accessible coding tools could turn this into a STEM gateway rather than a shortcut. Staying hands‑on, we evaluate a compact SLS 3D printer on Kickstarter that sinters powder with a laser. It's support‑free, wastes less, and yields sturdy parts, but demands safety gear and a pro‑level budget—great for makers ready to sell, overkill for casual hobbyists.Privacy takes center stage again with smart TVs using automatic content recognition to silently track what you watch. We call out dark patterns, buried settings, and the illusion of consent when features break if you say no. Across health data, living room screens, and playful bricks, a through‑line emerges: tech should earn trust with transparent defaults, meaningful control, and value you can feel.To keep it fun and grounded, we run a blind whiskey bracket of finished rye and bourbon—sherry, port, and tequila casks in the mix. A past champion returns, a celebrity label underwhelms, and our palates evolve in surprising ways. If you love sharp takes with a splash of good spirit, this hour's for you.Enjoy the show?

    Dean Takahashi is the dean of tech writers and a 25-year veteran correspondent covering consumer electronics, gaming, and emerging technology for GamesBeat. He's covered every major tech transition—from mobile's rise to VR's boom-and-bust cycles to the current AI explosion—with a skeptical eye and a talent for finding the human story beneath the hype. This is his fifth appearance on the AI XR Podcast.For CES 2026, Dean walked the floors across the Convention Center, the Venetian Expo Center (Eureka Park), Pepcom, and Showstoppers, emerging with a clear reading: China has decisively shifted from periphery to center stage in consumer electronics manufacturing, American incumbents are pulling back and rethinking their booth strategy, and the economics of CES itself are in transition. Robotics companies are moving from prototype to commercial faster than expected—but they still can't answer basic questions about pricing and labor displacement.News: Sony cuts its booth to demo an electric car instead of TVs. Samsung skips the show floor entirely for the first time. Nvidia takes over the Fontainebleau to showcase its role in robotics enablement. Lenovo dominates the Sphere with a Gwen Stefani concert. Chinese robotics companies proliferate with laundry folders, latte makers, and toilet-cleaning units. Roomba files for bankruptcy; Chinese competitors take over the robotic vacuum market.Key Moments:[00:01:23] Dean receives his virtual green jacket as a five-time returning guest and Charlie thanks him for his insights[00:03:00] China takeover at CES: TCL dominates Central Hall, ROED owns the XR booth, robotics companies fill the floor[00:06:00] Nvidia's Fontainebleau takeover and the "chest-pumping" show of force; why scale messaging still matters[00:14:18] The robotics explosion explained: Nvidia's digital twins, Cosmos world models, and synthetic testing accelerate time-to-market[00:19:00] The pricing problem: robotics companies won't answer how much their products cost; the minimum wage rental model doesn't translate globallyWhen American companies built the show, CES reflected American manufacturing dominance. Now that China manufactures most consumer electronics, CES reflects that shift—and the implications ripple through labor, supply chains, and where the next epicenter of innovation will be.

    MSP AI Automation Shifts Risk, Pricing, and Operational Responsibility

    Business of Tech

    Slowing U.S. job growth alongside rising labor productivity highlights how organizations are replacing hiring with automation and AI-driven systems. Government labor data shows job growth in 2025 fell to roughly 584,000 positions, while productivity rose nearly five percent in the third quarter, allowing output to increase without additional staff. According to CompTIA, demand for AI-related skills rose more than 100 percent year over year, even as overall tech employment declined. For MSPs, this signals a shift where customers rely less on internal teams and more on external providers to absorb operational responsibility when automated systems fail.Survey data from TechAisle indicates that small and midmarket businesses are redirecting technology spending away from basic digitization toward autonomous, outcome-driven systems. The research, based on responses from 5,500 firms, shows profitable growth and cost control as top priorities for 2026, with increased adoption of generative AI, agentic automation, and managed security services. At the same time, rising RAM and storage prices—driven by AI data center demand, according to TrendForce—are delaying PC refresh cycles and pushing workloads into cloud environments, changing where performance, security, and cost risks surface.Vendor signals remain mixed. Kaseya reported layoffs affecting five percent of its workforce, following earlier reductions, while TD Synnex and Samsung reported strong revenue growth tied to AI infrastructure, memory, and server demand. Distributors cite continued hardware refresh activity, yet repeated workforce cuts at vendors suggest internal cost corrections rather than demand collapse. For MSPs, this combination increases environmental complexity, with longer device lifecycles, higher component costs, and more heterogeneous platforms to support.Operational AI announcements further extend decision-making authority into automated systems. New healthcare, printing, and service desk tools embed AI into intake, routing, authorization, and workflow execution, often acting before human review. For MSPs and IT service providers, the central issue is not efficiency gains but accountability: when AI-driven processes misroute work, generate compliance errors, or escalate incidents incorrectly, responsibility frequently defaults to the operator. The episode underscores the need for clearer governance, pricing, and contractual boundaries as AI assumes functional authority inside managed environments. Four things to know today 00:00 Slowing Job Growth, Rising Productivity, and AI Adoption Shift Operational Responsibility to Providers05:26 TechAisle Data Shows SMB Focus Moving From Digitization to Autonomous, Outcome-Driven Systems09:19 Kaseya Cuts Staff as Distributors and Chipmakers Report Strong AI-Driven Demand14:27 Operational AI Advances as Vendors Embed Automation Into Intake, Routing, and Authorization This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship

    On this week's show we look at the annual Consumer Electronics Show inLas Vegas Nevada. In years past there was more for us home theater fans but we still find some cool products that will eventually find their way into our homes. News: More than 60% of audiences use TV as primary streaming device Which sports will Netflix have in 2026? LG Key Highlights Return of the Wallpaper OLED TV (LG OLED evo W6) — LG revived its iconic ultra-thin "Wallpaper" design after a multi-year hiatus. The W6 is just 9mm thick, fully wireless (with a separate connection box up to 10 meters away), uses Hyper Radiant Color Technology for improved brightness and colors, and supports features like art display via Gallery+ service. It's marketed as reflection-free and significantly brighter than average OLEDs. New OLED Lineup — Including the brighter flagship G6 (up to 20% brighter than the G5 with Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 panels and reduced reflections), split C6 series (with varying tech tiers), and claims of the world's first TVs supporting 4K 120Hz cloud gaming with low-latency controllers. Micro RGB evo TV — LG's first flagship Mini-LED TV with Micro RGB technology for vastly expanded color range and brightness, available in large sizes including the "world's largest" Micro RGB LCD TV, the 130-inch R95H. Gallery TV — A direct competitor to Samsung's The Frame, with anti-glare screens and curated art modes (designed with museum input). CLOiD Home Robot — A standout AI-powered housekeeper robot demoed on stage. It performs complex chores like folding laundry, loading/unloading dishwashers, preparing simple meals (baking croissants), and coordinating with connected appliances for a "Zero Labor Home" vision. LG Sound Suite (with Dolby) - Includes the H7 soundbar, optional M7/M5 wireless surround speakers, and W7 subwoofer. Allows free placement of speakers; the system auto-configures channels for optimal immersion, solving a major pain point in traditional wired or rigidly positioned Atmos setups.Hands-on reports highlighted its ease for real-world living rooms, delivering expansive sound without cables or furniture rearrangement. Samsung Key Highlights World's first 130-inch Micro RGB TV (): The largest in their Micro RGB lineup, featuring next-generation color accuracy (100% Rec.2020 coverage), bold new design, HDR10+ ADVANCED support, Eclipsa Audio, and AI enhancements like conversational search, proactive recommendations, AI Football (Soccer) Mode Pro, and integrations with Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity. AI Soccer Mode delivers a more exciting gameday experience through AI-driven picture and sound tuning to stadium-level quality. AI Sound Controller Pro lets you raise or lower the volume of the crowd, commentary, or background music, providing a personalized listening experience for TV shows and movies.

It features new "SQD-Mini LED" technology (Super Quantum Dot Mini-LED), emphasizing superior color accuracy and performance. Features 10,000 Nits, 20,000 dimming zones, 100% coverage of BT.2020 color gamut. Available initially in 98-inch and 85-inch sizes (75-inch later), with launches starting as early as January 2026. Some who have seen it are saying it rivals Micro RGB TVs from competitors like Samsung and LG, potentially challenging OLED in brightness and contrast. A65K Design Series soundbar — A compact 3.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos model with Bang & Olufsen tuning and wireless subwoofer. Hisense Key Highlights RGB MiniLED evo Technology — Hisense introduced an evolved version of its RGB MiniLED backlight system, which adds a fourth primary color to improve accuracy and fill spectral gaps (especially in the 500-600nm range) for more natural and vibrant colors.

Sorcerics Lens (CES Innovation Award honoree): An AI hub using on-device computer vision for fully contextual automation of housework, understanding environments to trigger actions intelligently. Lights turn on because the AI recognizes you're reading - not just because you moved. Lights turn off only when the AI understands you're about to sleep - not simply on a routineWhat motion and presence sensors fail to see, Sorcerics AI sees the difference. Govee Smart Lighting Advancements: New lights (e.g., Ceiling Light Ultra) that proactively adjust based on time of day, mood, space usage, and user patterns—rethinking lighting as adaptive rather than reactive. SwitchBot AI MindClip: AI MindClip continuously captures meetings, conversations, and everyday moments, transforming them into structured summaries, actionable to-dos, and a searchable personal knowledge base. Acting as a "second brain" fueled by subscribed cloud AI service, it allows users to retrieve past discussions, reminders, and learning materials on demand, ask questions when details are forgotten, and turn fragmented information into usable insight. Weighing just 18 grams and supporting over 100 languages, AI MindClip helps people organize and recall the growing volume of spoken information they encounter every day, enabling them to think more clearly, work more efficiently, and manage modern life with less cognitive load. Innovative Access and Security Aqara U400 Smart Deadbolt: Uses Ultra-Wideband (UWB) for precise, hands-free unlocking as you approach—more reliable than traditional geofencing/Bluetooth mixes. Lockin V7 Max: Features wireless AuraCharge (recharges within 4 meters) and fast unlocking, earning a CES Innovation Award. SwitchBot's biometric 3D locks with advanced vision. Other Notable Smart Home Innovations Expanded Matter ecosystem support across brands, enabling broader interoperability. Smarter kitchen tech, like Govee's Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro.
