If a company plants trees to offset its pollution, is that climate progress — or is it greenwashing? Critics of carbon markets say it's the latter. But Sandeep Roy Choudhury, who's spent two decades financing climate projects from rural cookstoves to coastal forests, says the real failure is discouraging companies from even trying. Hear his case for why we shouldn't let perfection block meaningful action on climate change.Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

Today's guest is Sandeep Chinchali, Chief Scientist at Poseidon, a company building the data layer AI actually needs to improve.While most of the industry obsesses over bigger models and more compute, Poseidon is tackling the real bottleneck: access to rare, high-quality, IP-safe data that can't be scraped, copied, or faked.With billions being poured into data centres and revenue growth starting to slow across parts of the AI ecosystem, are we heading for an industry shake-out?In this episode, we unpack:• Why more leaders believe the future of AI won't live solely in hyperscale data centres• Whether the cloud-only AI model is starting to fracture• What “edge AI” actually means for real businesses• Why data quality and trust now matter more than raw volume• Why scraped internet data is no longer enough• What executives should truly be paying attention to over the next 3–5 years• What will separate AI winners from the hypeThis is a must-listen for founders, investors, operators, and anyone trying to understand where AI is really heading next.
With the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) clearing the monumental Rs 3.25 lakh crore deal for 114 Rafale jets just as French President Emmanuel Macron lands in India, the Indian Air Force is closer to getting the muscle it desperately needs. But what does this "Mother of All Deals" mean for India's indigenous fighter programs? In this episode of In Our Defence, host Dev Goswami and national security expert Sandeep Unnithan unpack the proposed Rafale deal and break down the strategic and financial realities of buying 114 Rafales. The two explore the 'Make in India' angle of the deal and what it means for India's private sector. Most importantly, Dev and Sandeep ask the tough question: Will paying for 114 French jets bankrupt the homegrown Tejas Mk2 or is it a calculated move to buy time and secure our skies?

Residency by Investment sounds like a simple way to set aside a backup when you're managing your money, but the complexity and rapidly changing landscape of tax and government priorities means you should probably talk to an expert.In this episode of Taxbytes for Expats, I'm joined by Sandeep Nair, COO of Vancis Capital, to talk about residency and citizenship by investment. He sets out, in very practical terms, what these programmes actually involve because this is one of those areas where you don't want to get the details wrong, and having an adviser like Sandeep is the best way to get accurate and up to date information.We talk through why people explore residency or citizenship options in the first place, global mobility, retirement planning, tax considerations, and what's increasingly referred to as a “Plan B”. Sandeep explains how clients define their goals, what the advisory process looks like, and the types of jurisdictions that tend to come up most often in these discussions.From my side, I bring it back to the tax piece: why these decisions can't be made in isolation, how Irish tax rules continue to apply in ways people don't always expect, and why early, joined-up planning is critical.Main Topics Discussed in this Episode:Sandeep's Background and Entry into Global Mobility Planning: We start with how Sandeep moved into the world of residency and citizenship by investment, and why this space has grown so quickly in recent years.What Residency and Citizenship by Investment Actually Means: We break down what these programmes involve in practice, who they're designed for, and why they're very different from simply “moving abroad for a while”.Why People Seek Residency or Citizenship Options: We explore the key drivers behind these decisions, including global mobility, retirement planning, tax considerations and the growing concept of a “Plan B”.Popular Jurisdictions and the Types of Programmes Available: Sandeep outlines the regions and countries that come up most often, from Caribbean passports to European residency programmes, and what attracts people to each.The Need for Joined-Up Tax and Professional Advice: We discuss why immigration decisions have to be considered alongside tax, banking and structuring advice, and why oversimplifying residency can lead to costly mistakes.Get in touch with Sandeep Nair:Website: https://www.VancisCapital.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanciscapital/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandeep-nair-0461974b/*****Use the link below and quote "Expat Taxes" when registering with Currencies Direct to receive a €50 One4All or Amazon voucher when you transfer €5000 or more in your first six months with Currencies Direct.*Click here for a special offer from our sponsor, Currencies Direct******If you loved this episode or have a similar story, we'd love to hear from you!

AI agents need blockchains. Most AI crypto projects miss why.In this episode of AI Supercycle, Sandeep Nailwal, Co-Founder of Sentient and Founder of Polygon challenges the AI x crypto narrative.We explore why the overlap is smaller than expected, how blockchain serves as payment rails for agents, Sentient's reasoning framework, and why most "AI crypto" projects miss the point.We discuss:- Why AI & Crypto Have Less Overlap Than Expected- Sentient's Open-Source Reasoning Framework- The Arena: Battle-Testing AI Agents- Building Multi-Decade Sustainable Companies- Polygon's Strategic Payment Acquisitions- Token Economics for AI ProtocolsThe RollupTimestamps:00:00 Intro00:37 AI Supercycle Welcome01:35 Sandeep's Recent Updates03:39 Polygon's Strategic Acquisitions04:21 Sentient Mission & Token Launch09:35 Hibachi, Trezor, Halliday Ads010:59 Open-Source AI Development13:34 AI vs Crypto: Limited Overlap14:15 Open-Source AGI Mission19:06 Sentient's Reasoning Framework19:55 Arena for Agent Competition20:03 InfiniFI, YEET, Kalshi Ad 21:09 Token Economy Bridge23:28 Sentient Arena Launch24:02 Enterprise Adoption25:00 Building for the Long TermWebsite: https://therollup.co/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1P6ZeYd...Podcast: https://therollup.co/category/podcastFollow us on X: https://www.x.com/therollupcoFollow Rob on X: https://www.x.com/robbie_rollupFollow Andy on X: https://www.x.com/ayyyeandyJoin our TG group: https://t.me/+TsM1CRpWFgk1NGZhThe Rollup Disclosures: https://goodidea.ventures
Send us a textWelcome to another episode of The Cricket Slouch, a cricket podcast that doesn't shy away from hard-hitting discussions and isn't afraid to call out double standards within the sport irrespective of where it occurs.This episode is brought by Sandeep, Ajit and Shounak, who do not hold back in discussing the unexpected non-participation of Bangladesh in the men's T20 World Cup, and they delve deep into the political undertones influencing this decision, including religious tensions and retaliatory demands from political groups. While examining the economic impact on Bangladesh cricket, the discussion reflects on the broader ramifications for future international cricket events. Through thoughtful reflection, the trio sheds light on how underlying political currents can potentially shift the landscape of international sport and cricketing governance.They also take time to discuss whether there have been double standards exercised by the ICC in dealing with this, especially when there have been previous such precedents.Scotland's inclusion is debated, whether it was the right call or could another team from the Asian region could have played instead, and then then the discussion moves on to talk about the 6 full member nations that are yet to win a T20 world cup and what are their potential chances this time. Can anyone beat India this time around on their own turf ?Enjoy !

Feeling “fine” is not a plan. We sit down with Dr Sandeep Palakodeti —an Ivy League–trained internist who left elite institutions—to unpack why so much of healthcare reacts to disease instead of building durable health, and how treating your body like your ultimate asset can change the arc of your life. We dig into the core four foundations (sleep, diet, exercise, relationships), the hidden risks behind “normal for your age” labs, and the personalized strategies that help you extend your prime years, not just your lifespan.Sandeep explains the gaps in standard panels and why markers like lipoprotein(a), ApoB, and early insulin resistance can quietly raise cardiovascular risk for decades. He shares a practical framework for advanced therapies—rapamycin, peptides, red light, hyperbaric oxygen—rooted in evidence, safety, access, and intent, with explicit stop criteria to avoid blind experimentation. We talk through what it takes to turn vague advice into precise action: strength training as a glucose sink, protein targets, VO2 max, and sleep protocols tailored to your biology and lifestyle.We also explore the evolutionary case for a longer, more productive middle life. Wisdom tends to peak in the 50s and 60s, exactly when chronic disease often accelerates. With the right diagnostics, coaching, and accountability, it's possible to keep the energy of a 30-year-old while preserving the judgment of a seasoned leader. From there, we shift to AI's growing role in medicine: clinical copilots that surface patterns, agentic systems that handle routine care, and how empathy at scale could emerge alongside human guidance for high-stakes decisions.If you're ready to manage health with the same rigor as your wealth, this conversation offers a roadmap: better measurement, longer conversations, smarter tools, and a clear strategy that compounds over time.

Send us a textWelcome all to another episode of The Cricket Slouch and in this episode Sandeep, Ajit and Shounak team up to talk about the upcoming T20 World Cup, specifically the Associate Teams in the pool.They track their past performances, this edition's qualifying journey and their squads, and the format of the upcoming tournament,Some of the discussion focuses on the changes that are being brought in some of these countries that may have affected their national squad selection.

Is the era of the massive Indian Army over? In this episode of In Our Defence, Dev Goswami and Sandeep Unnithan decode the Indian Army's roadmap for force restructuring, a project that has been in the works for several years. The two answer the big questions: -Why is the Army desperate to "cut the flab"? -What exactly are Integrated Battle Groups (IBGs), and how do they change the way India fights wars? The episode also features a deep dive into the Army's massive push for drones and whether tech is finally replacing boots on the ground. Finally, Dev and Sandeep imagine what the future Indian Army infantry soldier will look like and why the science fiction movies of the past years may not be so far off the mark on this aspect. Tune in! Produced by Taniya Dutta Sound mixed by Aman Pal
Send us a textGreetings all and welcome to another episode of The Cricket Slouch.In this episode, Sandeep and Shounak are joined by James for a nuanced and balanced perspective about the Sydney test, and the Ashes series in general, and whether this was a win for England in any way.The conclusion was that England couldn't bat, bowl or catch this series and the Aussies were only marginally better in what was supposed to be cricket's marquee event. The discussion then weaves around future prospects for both teams, potential retirements, and replacements for them, before they touch base on the upcoming u-19 World Cup in Namibia and Zimbabwe.Thank you for listening.
Send us a textHello and welcome all to The Cricket Slouch.In the very first episode of 2026, Sandeep and Shounak cover the triumphant return of Bazball in a surprise 2-day win over Australia at the hallowed MCG.Whether Australia played poorly or England played less poorly is a matter of debate and discussed well by our panel of two. They analyse how a seamer-friendly pitch in Melbourne affected gameplay, leading to mistakes over mastery. The discussion explores modern batting mindsets where attack seemed to trump patience. England and Australia both struggled due to seam movement and wobble seam deliveries compounded the difficulty, leading to unremarkable innings by many with lacklustre batting techniques and poor shot selection and some dubious approaches to batting.Prospects for the Sydney test were discussed before prayers were said for Damien Martyn, who's currently in hospital.Enjoy the chatter!
WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send us a textAI-native ERP systems are rapidly reshaping the enterprise software landscape by challenging long-standing assumptions about how ERPs are selected, implemented, and evolved over time. As AI becomes embedded directly into configuration, development, and daily workflows, practices once viewed as risky—such as extensive customization, rapid iteration, or even building ERP capabilities in-house—are becoming increasingly viable. Rising commercial software costs are further forcing executives to revisit the traditional buy-versus-build calculus, particularly as AI-first platforms promise faster deployments, more adaptable architectures, and experiences tailored to specific operating models. However, the category remains early, raising critical questions around governance, scalability, reliability, and long-term support. In this context, Everest ERP's AI-first approach offers a practical lens into how AI-native architectures can accelerate time-to-value while redefining what buyers, implementers, and business leaders should expect from ERP systems over the next decade.In this episode, Sam Gupta hosts Sandeep Chopra, co-CEO, Everest, to discuss how AI impacts ERP strategy for companies.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/your-erp-strategy-is-about-to-break-ai-is-rewriting-the-playbook/Questions for Panelists?

Send us a textHello and welcome everyone to another episode, in which we look back at the two tests across the Tasman Sea, the WI-NZ test match and the 2nd Ashes test match. I am joined by the usual triumvirate of Sandeep, Ajit and Shounak and we discuss how well Windies managed to save the game, albeit NZ were a couple of players short in the 4th innings. And then we absolutely thrash the lame excuses Eng has made after this loss, look at how they have continued to perpetuate their weaknesses when Australia appears to have put in a better performance. Finally, we also pay our respects to Robin Smith, a legend of the game from the late 980s to mid 1990s, the purveyor of a great cut shot. May he rest in peace.
If you're a mom who eats clean, moves her body, believes in mind–body–spirit… and still looks in the mirror and thinks, “Why won't my core come back?”—this episode is for you.In this conversation, Dr Rady Rahban sits down with his lovely patient Sandeep, a South Asian mom of two who lives a deeply holistic, spiritually grounded lifestyle: home births, extended breastfeeding, healthy diet, consistent exercise, mindfulness—the whole package. And yet, after doing everything right, she was left with a weakened core, diastasis (muscle separation), and an abdomen that simply would not respond to planks, Pilates, or clean eating. We talk honestly about the quiet struggle so many “natural” moms face but rarely say out loud:Feeling like choosing surgery is “cheating” or “not spiritual enough”The pressure to “love yourself no matter what” while still feeling uncomfortable in your own skinThe judgment from both sides—feminism and holistic culture—when you dare to choose a surgical solutionHow reframing surgery as treatment for a muscle injury (not a vanity project) changed her lifeSandeep shares what it really looked like to reconcile her values with having a tummy tuck and diastasis repair, how it transformed her relationship with her body, her fitness, her marriage—and even the example she's setting for her teenage daughter. If you're a mom who prides herself on being natural, but secretly wonders if surgery might actually support your quality of life, this episode will give you permission, perspective, and a whole lot of relief.✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored:✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us.✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education:Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life.

With the release of the Farhan Akhtar-starrer 120 Bahadur, the spotlight returns to the Battle of Rezang La -- one of the bravest last stands in military history. But the 1962 India-China war was much more than just one battle. It was a geopolitical storm involving a "Forward Policy," a distracted America, and a political leadership caught off guard. In this deep-dive episode, host Dev Goswami and national security expert Sandeep Unnithan will peel back the layers of the 1962 conflict. They discuss the tactical realities of Major Shaitan Singh's Charlie Company, the mystery of the "missing" Indian Air Force, how and why the Indian Army was handed a solid defeat, the strange connection between the Himalayas and the Cuban Missile Crisis, and, of course, whether this indeed was Nehru's 'Himalayan Blunder'. In this episode, Dev and Sandeep discuss: - The Real Rezang La: How 120 men of the 13 Kumaon held off thousands of Chinese troops at 18,000 feet without winter gear. - The McMahon Line: Who drew it, why it was flawed, and why a "thick line on a map" led to war. - The Geopolitics: Did the Panchsheel Agreement lull Nehru into a false sense of security? What was the "Forward Policy"? - The Cuban Connection: How Mao Zedong timed the attack to coincide with the Cuban Missile Crisis to ensure US silence. - Classified History: What is the Henderson Brooks-Bhagat Report, and why does the Indian government refuse to declassify it 60 years later? - The Chinese Perspective: Why Beijing calls this a "Self-Defence Counterattack" and why they unilaterally withdrew after winning. Whether or not you plan to watch 120 Bahadur, this is your comprehensive crash course on the war that changed India forever. Tune in! Produced by Taniya Dutta Sound mixed by Rohan Bharti

Get everything you need for your traditional home blessing — including the St. Benedict Medal, Holy Water Bottle, and more — from our friends at Holy Heroes today! https://bit.ly/TheDeep_HolyHeroesHBZohran Mamdami's meteoric rise from a seemingly unknown state assemblyman to the next mayor of NYC signals a shift into a new era of politics. In this episode of The Deep, Erika breaks down how the age of social media is shaping the world of politics today. Is it dumbing down the electorate? Is it turning politicians into mere influencers whose success is based on their ability to go viral (instead of the quality of their policy ideas)?

Send us a textWelcome to another episode of The Cricket Slouch, where I am joined by Sandeep and Lea, who is one of the keenest observers of the game I have come across in recent years. In this episode, we do a little preview of the upcoming Ashes series and the India vs South Africa series, before taking a look at the ongoing Ireland vs Bangladesh test match. Somehow along the discussion, we digress a bit to talk about Ricky Ponting's wines and the emerging cricket scene in Japan. Lea also runs a regular You Tube channel where she covers various matches and talks to other cricket people. Her channel is named bescheuerteskurzesbeinSo, sit back, relax and enjoy the chit-chat.
“We are always waiting for someone to define the direction, versus saying ‘What am I going to do?' — I've never asked what my work plan is — if there are no user manuals, how would you live your life? Sandeep Seth is Chief Growth Officer and President of Tapestry International—the parent company of Coach, Kate Spade, and Stuart Weitzman. Before Tapestry, Sandeep spent over two decades at Procter & Gamble, where he rose through local, regional, and global marketing leadership roles across India and Singapore—eventually becoming Global CEO of SK-II, P&G's prestige skincare brand. You'll enjoy this candid conversation about the lessons behind Sandeep's remarkable journey—from being placed on a performance plan early in his career to leading some of the world's most iconic luxury and beauty brands. His turning point? Realizing that having a strong point of view—and voicing it—is just as critical as delivering great work.

If you're thinking about stepping into a bigger role—or simply want to become a more intentional marketing leader—this episode is packed with sharp, grounded insights from someone who's lived it.This episode is hosted by P&G Alum Sudha Ranganathan, who's spent over 19 years in diverse Marketing leadership roles at companies like P&G, PayPal, and LinkedIn where she's honed her passion for customer-centric marketing and talent development.

In this insightful discussion, I chat with Dr. Sandeep Gupta, a proponent of integrative medicine and longevity health. We explore the evolving landscape of healthcare, discuss the limitations of the traditional medical system, and delve into the holistic approaches to health that focus on both healthspan and lifespan. What You'll Learn: The Shift to Integrative Medicine: Discover why Dr. Gupta transitioned from traditional pathways to focus on integrative and holistic approaches, driven by personal experiences and the need for a comprehensive view of health. Challenges in Traditional Medicine: Uncover the stigmas associated with holistic health approaches in the conventional medical setting and how these have historically been viewed by the medical community. Medicine 3.0 and Longevity: Understand Dr. Gupta's focus on healthspan and longevity, emphasising quality years of life filled with passion, joy, and meaning over merely extending lifespan. Metabolic Health and Chronic Diseases: Learn about the significance of metabolic health, its impact on major diseases, and how insulin resistance syndrome underpins many health issues. Diet and Longevity: Explore dietary recommendations for longevity, recognising the absence of a one-size-fits-all diet, and the importance of reducing sugar and refined carbohydrates. Muscle Mass and Health: Grasp the crucial role of maintaining muscle mass, its anti-inflammatory benefits, and its significance in preventing sarcopenia and indirectly reducing risks for major health disorders. Key Takeaways: Integrative medicine can offer a more complete approach to health, focusing not only on treating diseases but promoting overall well-being and longer healthspans. Traditional medicine often emphasises treatment of disease over prevention and maintenance of optimal health, a paradigm explored through Medicine 3.0. Metabolic syndrome is a silent precursor to many chronic illnesses, and dietary choices play a crucial role in managing this risk. Muscle health is vital; maintaining muscle mass as we age can prevent systemic issues and chronic disease. A balanced diet rich in diverse, colourful foods can bolster metabolic health and support a robust microbiome. Grounding and nature exposure are gaining recognition for their potential health benefits, including reducing inflammation and improving mental well-being. Resources To delve deeper into integrative health approaches and longevity practices, consider exploring resources and studies on metabolic syndrome, holistic care interventions, and the benefits of nature exposure.

We unpack why someone would leave a top institution like the Mayo Clinic to start a business aimed at solving the "sick care" problem of American healthcare.Dr. Deep contrasts the standard transactional 7-minute primary care visit with Velocity Health's functional medicine approach, which focuses on root cause medicine and objective diagnostics like VO2 max, DEXA scan, and the coronary artery calcium scan. We also dive deep into the business model, exploring how Velocity Health scales as a 50 state virtual practice, utilizes the MSO PC model for regulation, and maintains an attractive CAC to LTV ratio through its recurring revenue plans.If you're an entrepreneur who believes preserving health is as crucial as preserving wealth, this episode is a must-watch.Questions This Episode Answers:1. Why did an institutional physician leave major hospitals like the Mayo Clinic to start a cash pay medical practice?2.

This week's special guest, Purpose Dignity Action's Director of Outreach and Special Initiatives Nichole Alexander, spoke with Sandeep and Erica about the work the PDA's CoLEAD program is doing with drug users at a longtime "hot spot" in the Chinatown International District. Centered on 12th and Jackson, the area has been a frequent target for police operations, encampment removals, and city-led outreach efforts over the past decade.The PDA's CoLEAD program, formed during the pandemic to relocate people from encampments on state highway rights-of-way into hotel-based lodging with intensive case management, saw results—according to Alexander, 95 percent of people they worked with moved into hotel-based shelters funded by the state, and 70 percent ended up in permanent housing. That program, known as the Encampment Resolution Program, lost state funding, and now CoLEAD is focusing its much more limited resources helping people around 12th and Jackson by offering them a safe, private place to stay—something Alexander says is a prerequisite for longer-term stability. Unlike the city's Unified Care Team, which moves people from place to place while offering shelter referrals to some, CoLEAD spends weeks getting to know people individually and listen to their needs before moving them inside."I hear a lot of people say folks don't want to come inside, and that is not what we find," Alexander told us. "We find 95% of folks really do want to come inside. They just want something that's going to be safe for them. They want to be able to close the door, use a toilet safely, have case management that cares—and have that long-term care, not just a quick answer."We also talked to Alexander about her personal story, the debate over whether jail and involuntary treatment lead to lasting recovery, and the misconception that low-barrier shelter or housing is inherently chaotic and destabilizing.

I'm thrilled to share some incredible insights from our latest episode featuring Sandeep Dayal, a top marketing strategist and managing director of Sorrenti Marketing Group. Sandeep's journey from engineering to consulting with global giants like Pfizer and McKinsey, and his expertise in cognitive branding, offers a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone interested in leadership, marketing, and human behavior.Here are the key takeaways from our conversation:
In this episode, we take a closer look at Mayor Bruce Harrell's proposed ban on anti-competitive covenants in grocery and pharmacy leases—a move aimed at preventing future food deserts. Is this a genuine step toward saving grocery stores and pharmacies, or, as Erica argues, a form of political posturing in the midst of a mayoral election?We also broaden the discussion to consider alternative solutions, with Sandeep suggesting a re-evaluation of design review processes as a more effective lever for lowering costs and sustaining local businesses. David highlights the critical ideological divide here between Harrell and challenger Katie Wilson, whose socialist-sounding stance on publicly backed grocery stores offers a stark contrast to Harrell's market-oriented approach on remedying food deserts. Whereas Wilson wants the government more involved in the private sector, Harrell would reserve public dollars for things like food assistance. We also discuss turbulence within the King County Regional Homelessness Authority, based on Erica's reporting about accusations of mismanagement and racism against its CEO, Kelly Kennison. This segment unpacks the broader debate about the organization's efficacy and future. We come back to a question we've discussed before: is it time to pull the plug on the KCRHA? Finally, we talk about Mayor Harrell's campaign criticism of Katie Wilson's experience, with Erica challenging the tone and substance of Harrell's attacks.Quinn Waller is our editor. Send us a text!

This week we take the patented Seattle Nice deep dive into Bruce Harrell's proposed nearly $9 billion budget, examining the Seattle mayor's priorities as he's fighting for his political life in what's turned into a tough election year for him. David points out how various local media outlets, from KIRO to our own Erica C. Barnett's Publicola framed the budget news through their own lenses. The discussion also highlights the budget's strategic rollout, with Sandeep noting the mayor's reliance on a "slick, produced, 15-minute video" in lieu of a traditional speech.We then get into criticism of the budget, which assumes both sales and B&O tax increases and prioritizes spending on new police hires and, in the face of Trump threats, immigrant and refugee assistance and other supports. Erica criticizes the mayor for boosting spending for what will be ongoing programs with one time dollars, saying he is avoiding tough choices and leaving substantial projected out-year deficits. She argues he should have worked harder to cut the police budget in particular. Sandeep echoes Erica's concerns about a lack of fiscal discipline but says his concern extends to potential wasteful spending in all city departments and not just the cops. He also argues the mayor missed a political opportunity by not proposing more bold, innovative ideas. We also get into the King County Council's recent ban on rent-setting software like RealPage to try and prevent algorithmic price fixing, which follows on the heels of a similar City ban. Finally, the podcast concludes with some back and forth about political endorsements, and specifically the “odd timing” of Pete Buttigieg's backing of Mayor Harrell.
