Episode Summary      On January 18, 2018, in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, Green Beret combat medic Luke Sciulli stopped being the medic and became the patient. A booby-trapped building collapsed on him during a personnel-recovery operation, fracturing his C4, C5, and C6 vertebrae, both scapulas, and his pelvis, and leaving him with a spinal cord injury at C5. In this episode of WarDocs, SFC(R) Luke Sciulli walks through that day and the MEDEVAC chain that followed — forward surgical team, Kandahar, Landstuhl, and Walter Reed — and explains how living through the system he once operated permanently reshaped his view of casualty care, pain management, and patient advocacy.   SFC(R) Sciulli is candid about the recovery that nearly broke him. He describes the culture shock of moving from elite combat operations to a 30-bed spinal cord injury ward populated largely by elderly veterans, and the slow, deliberate realization that, in his words, the only person who was going to make his life better was him. He maps the framework that pulled him back — physical health, mental health, and career — and offers a direct message to wounded operators who cannot get out of bed: the discipline that earned the Beret, the Tab, or the Trident is still inside them.   The conversation then widens into the operational and strategic challenges Sciulli has tackled across an extraordinary career. He compares civilian and military trauma systems and argues that surgeons in major American cities now see more penetrating trauma than many military providers — making military-civilian partnerships essential to keeping skills sharp. He recounts building a joint, combined MEDEVAC architecture across five African nations, and embedding at forward surgical teams in Ukraine just kilometers from the front, where 60 to 90 casualties a day exposed gaps in Role 1 and Role 2 doctrine, risk tolerance, and interoperability that U.S. tabletop exercises rarely surface.   SFC(R) Sciulli also draws on his time supervising a 216-bed field hospital at Columbia University during the 2020 COVID surge and his current work with Vigilant Consulting and Valinor Enterprises advising on tactical medical technology. He makes the case for predictive analytics, wearables, and automated resuscitation systems to force-multiply providers in large-scale combat operations — while confronting the risk-acceptance and accountability questions that slow adoption. He closes with the cause he intends to define his legacy: fixing the negligent disconnect that leaves SOF medics and operators underutilized in the civilian, defense, and healthcare worlds, and expanding the transition programs that turn their hard-won skills into lives saved at home.

The standard WarDocs welcome sets up a firsthand look at military medicine from the austere edge of combat to the front lines of innovation. (01:10-05:30) Becoming the Casualty in Helmand Province SFC(R) Sciulli recounts volunteering to backfill a buddy's ODA as senior medic and the January 18, 2018 operation in which a booby-trapped building collapsed onto him. He details catastrophic injuries — broken C4-C6, a C5 spinal cord injury, fractured scapulas and pelvis — and the MEDEVAC through the forward surgical team toward higher care, including how his teammates stabilized and moved him. (05:30-11:30) The Recovery That Rewired Everything He describes six months split between Walter Reed and the Tampa VA, the jolt of moving from combat to a spinal cord injury ward, and the loss of career, health, and identity overnight. The turning point came when he accepted that no one else could make his life better, and built a deliberate framework around physical health, mental health, and career. (11:30-15:45) Civilian and Military Medicine, Two Ways Drawing on his paramedic, firefighter, and critical-care flight background plus SF service, Sciulli argues civilian surgeons now out-rep many military providers on penetrating trauma, making military-civilian partnerships essential. He also reflects on serving as senior medical provider for SEAL Teams Two and Eight and why interoperability comes down to people and personality. (15:45-22:45) Distance, Mass Casualties, and Lessons from Ukraine He explains building a joint, combined MEDEVAC system across Chad, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Libya, then scales the problem to the Indo-Pacific and Eastern Europe. Embedded at forward surgical teams in Ukraine, he saw 60 to 90 casualties a day and learned hard lessons about volume, interoperability, civilian EMS integration, and U.S. risk tolerance. (22:45-32:30) Field Hospitals, Tactical Technology, and Risk SFC(R) Sciulli describes supervising a 216-bed COVID field hospital at Columbia University and why a military-style community made it work. He then identifies penetrating and shrapnel trauma as a top killer and makes the case for wearables, predictive analytics, and automated resuscitation — confronting the risk acceptance and human trust that slow adoption. (32:30-36:15) Recruiting the Next Force and a SOF Medic Legacy Speaking to students, residents, and recruiters, Sciulli reframes the pitch: the military needs people willing to operate beyond their comfort zone and scope, not just another credential. He closes on the legacy he intends to leave — fixing the negligent disconnect that leaves SOF medics and operators underutilized after service. Take Home Messages Experiencing Care Builds the Best Advocates: Living through the casualty evacuation chain as the patient teaches lessons no provider can learn from the other side of the litter. Empathy, pain management, and patient advocacy take on new meaning once a clinician has been the one strapped to the litter. Recovery Is a Decision You Make Daily: The hardest part of catastrophic injury is mental, not physical. Progress comes from a conscious choice to get up and be better than yesterday, supported by resources but driven by personal ownership of physical health, mental health, and career. Keep Military Providers Sharp in Civilian Trauma: Civilian surgeons in major cities now see more penetrating trauma and polytrauma than many military clinicians. An integrated military-civilian system that rotates providers through high-volume civilian centers is essential to keeping wartime skills ready. Plan for Volume, Distance, and Interoperability: Future large-scale combat means moving casualties across oceans and continents while relying on host-nation, partner, and civilian systems. High casualty volumes and contested distance demand generalist skill, civilian EMS integration, and a higher tolerance for operational risk. Close the Gap Between Research and the Warfighter: Government funds enormous amounts of combat casualty research and technology that never reaches frontline providers fast enough. The mission is to translate proven findings and devices into the warfighter's hands tomorrow — not years from now.   Episode Keywords military medicine, combat medicine, Green Beret medic, 18D combat medic, special forces medic, combat casualty care, TCCC, spinal cord injury recovery, polytrauma, Helmand Province, Walter Reed, MEDEVAC, forward surgical team, Ukraine combat medicine, mass casualty, large scale combat operations, LSCO, prolonged field care, tactical medicine, medical device innovation, SOF medic, military civilian partnership, WarDocs, Luke Sciulli, veteran resilience, penetrating trauma   Hashtags #MilitaryMedicine, #CombatMedicine, #GreenBeret, #WarDocs, #CombatCasualtyCare, #SOFMedic, #VeteranResilience, #TacticalMedicine   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission- WarDocs exists to honor the legacy of Military Medicine, preserve its history, and inspire every generation — across all Services, Corps, and Ranks — to serve with excellence and pride.

We're still surprised people did this but... 50+ founders worth $10M to $4B reveal their personal finances. Here it is: https://joinhampton.com/mw-wrWhy do we do this? Because if you're an aspirational person or someone who runs a business and is making money, it's incredibly challenging to figure out what to do. Information is impossible to find — and that's what we put together: the net worth reveal and why we do this podcast, Moneywise.He got his first $5M check and expected to feel superhuman. The next day was one of the most disappointing of his life.Jesse Pujji walked away from a Goldman Sachs job where he made $500K at 25 — with a boss making $3M and a group head making $20M — to bootstrap an ad agency on $33K per partner and a stack of Amex cards. Ampush cracked the Facebook arbitrage before almost anyone: $100K in monthly revenue in June 2010 became $2M a month with $600K in EBITDA fourteen months later. He scaled it to half a billion in annual ad spend and 250 employees without raising a dollar, turned down $25M at 27, sold 20% to Red Ventures in 2015, and sold the whole thing to New Mountain Capital in 2022 for somewhere between $40M and $60M on a 35% stake. He never got the nine-figure number he made up in his head, and he says chasing it was the mistake.This episode gets into the exact allocation of a post-exit portfolio, why Jesse refuses to let his advisors put illiquid startup equity on his balance sheet, what $500K a year of "normal" spending actually buys, and why he asked his financial advisor how people possibly spend more than that. He's honest about the gap between the money he expected to change him and the money that didn't. And we spend real time on the part most founders avoid: three kids who never saw him grind, a Greenlight allowance split into thirds, a $63 JCPenney paycheck at 16 that taught him more than any of it, and the question of whether to leave them anything at all.Also, this podcast is made by Hampton, which is a community for founders doing on average $20 million a year in revenue.

Frågan tycks inte längre vara om utan när vi kommer till Mars. Maria Küchen funderar över vad som får oss att bryta upp och söka nya världar. På jorden såväl som i rymden. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först sänd: 2017-02-06.År 2031 ger sig den första besättningen astronauter av från jorden. Ett år senare slår de sig ner på Mars. Åtminstone enligt planerna som presenteras av Mars-ONE, ett holländskt företag som redan har plockat ut kandidater till besättningen.Det hela avfärdas av vissa som ett PR-jippo. Andra tar projektet Mars-ONE på fullt allvar. Frågan tycks inte längre vara OM människan en dag landar på Mars, utan vilka som gör det först.NASA vill sända astronauter till Mars innan 2030-talet är över, i samarbete med bland rymdstationen ISS, privata företag och Kinas rymdfart. Andra människan på månen, astronauten Buzz Aldrin, stödjer projektet helhjärtat. I dag är han över åttio år men pigg och alert, och ses ofta bära en T-shirt med texten GET YOUR ASS TO MARS.Och det privata rymdföretaget SpaceX meddelar att man vill sända iväg sin första bemannade rymdfarkost mot Mars redan 2024. SpaceX grundare, den excentriske och visionäre miljardären Elon Musk, vill se en koloni på Mars med en miljon invånare inom hundra år. Själva ändamålet med att grunda SpaceX, säger han, var att göra människan till en multiplanet species, en art som lever på många planeter.Det låter rätt galet. Kan det verkligen genomföras, och i så fall, vad ska det vara bra för? Varför kolonisera rymden? Varför stannar vi inte bara där vi är och vårdar den enda planet vi faktiskt har?Vi ger oss av för att vi kan och för att vi vill – och för att vi måste.Tvånget att färdas genom rymderna betonas gärna i fiktioner: diktsviten Aniara; teveserien Månbas Alpha; David Bowies sång Space Oddity som finns på en LP från 1969, året för den första månlandningen. Rymdskeppets besättning har förlorat kontakten med jorden och är hänvisad till en färd mot det okända, utan hopp om återvändo eller räddning. Det blir metaforen för en mänsklighet som tappat kontakten med sitt ursprung, och måste underkasta sig en högteknologisk civilisation som människan har skapat men inte längre är herre över.SF-fiktioner som Star Trek betonar i stället kunskapen och viljan. Där speglas en mänsklighet på väg framåt, inte bara tekniskt och geografiskt utan också etiskt ­– en mänsklighet som försöker förstå och respektera sig själv genom att se andra, antingen de nu är vulkaner eller klingoner eller besättningsmedlemmar med olika ursprung.Jag får rysningar av Star Trek-seriens valspråk, inte bara för rymdens skull utan för det urmänskliga i uppdraget: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone before. Jag får rysningar av både lust och avsmak: av skönheten i det och av ekot från historien, ett eko från kolonialismen.Att ge sig av med full insikt om att man aldrig kommer tillbaka, det har människor gjort sen urminnes tider. Från början var vi nomader. Vi vaknade varje morgon och lämnade platsen där vi hade sovit för att aldrig återvända. På jägar- och samlartiden, då ingick knappast individualismen och individens rätt till fria val i människans berättelse om sig själv. Individualismen är ny, och kanske är den fortfarande rätt så provinsiell. Den har uppstått och odlats i västerlandet under några hundra år, och individualismens utveckling har gått hand i hand med kolonialismen. Kolonisering av mars innebär att unga, välutbildade, äventyrliga och fertila människor frivilligt fattar individuella beslut att lämna jorden för att inte återvända. På nåt vis blir ju detta juvelen i den västerländska individualismens krona – en individualism som bejakar handlingskraft och styrka, men inte har lika mycket plats för det ömtåliga och stillsamma.Frivilliga mars-pionjärer finns det förvånansvärt gott om. Mars-ONE har idag ett startfält på hundra kandidater. Där finns Ritika från Indien, Sandra från Brasilien, Sadegh från Iran och så vidare, men de flesta är européer och amerikaner.De vill inte stanna kvar där de befinner sig. Inte heller jägar- och samlartidens nomader stannade kvar där de befann sig. Vi hade ännu inte börjat odla något, så jorden band oss inte. Vi bröt upp, ständigt, men på jägar- och samlartiden var vi inga djärva marsresenärer eller romantiska poor lonesome cowboys i silhuett mot solnedgången. Vårt kontinuerliga uppbrott var inte som till exempel i On The Road av Jack Kerouac. On the road är en rätt så tidstypisk västerländsk nittonhundratalsgestaltning av individens, oftast mannens, flykt från ansvar och sammanhang. På jägar- och samlartiden däremot, då bröt vi upp för att vi behövde samla mat för dagen.Vi fortsatte för att vi måste, då som nu. Att stanna kvar var inte ett alternativ, säger en del människor som på vinst och förlust har flytt från outhärdliga förhållanden i sina hemländer. Människan har fötter, inte rötter, säger andra.Vi strävar kanske mot Mars för att vi inte riktigt längre får plats på en alltmer överbefolkad och förödd jord, och vi strävar som sagt mot Mars för att vi kan och vill, ja ”vi” och ”vi”. De högteknologiska västerländska planerna på att kolonisera Mars är förstås ett projekt för ett fåtal, och det hela kanske förblir en Startrek-aktig dröm bara, men, drömmen om något annat där ute, något okänt som vi ännu bara kan fantisera om, den är en allmänmänsklig drivkraft. Åtminstone i vissa lägen.En stor del av Sveriges befolkning bröt upp från jorden de kände, utan återvändo, för mindre än tvåhundra år sen. Och vikingarna, de norska vikingarna! Som koloniserade Färöarna, Orkneyöarna, Shetlandsöarna, Island, Grönland och fortsatte ända till Nordamerika!Jag har en storslagen inre bild av hur dessa modiga vikingar gav sig ut från norska kusten, ut över ett okänt hav, utan att ens veta om det fanns något där ute. Men fullt så filmiskt var det nog inte på riktigt att fara från Norge till Island, inte ens för de första pionjärerna. Island lär ha upptäckts av misstag. En norrman vid namn Nadodd sägs ha seglat vilse när han skulle ta sig från Norge till Färöarna på åttahundratalet och hamnade i stället mycket längre åt nordväst.Nadodd följdes av andra, av familjer och hushåll som hade tröttnat på att lyda under det framväxande norska kungaväldet, eller behövde mark att bruka, eller ville ha mer mark fast de kanske inte behövde det. Färden mellan Norge och Island tog som snabbast tre dygn, så några marsfärder var det knappast frågan om. Snart uppstod två tämligen väl trafikerade trader: eyalei∂, ”övägen” och ”úthafslei∂”, havsvägen. Övägen gick från Norge via Shetland eller Orkney, vidare till Färöarna och så till Island. Havsvägen gick som namnet antyder rakt ut över havet.I dag finns liknande leder i luftrummet. De transatlantiska luftlederna mellan Europa och USA är rena motorvägarna med tät flygtrafik. Och SpaceX grundare Elon Musk målar upp bilder av en liknande tät skytteltrafik så småningom mellan jorden och Mars.I hans planer ingår ett enormt rymdskepp som kan ta hundra personer åt gången, ett slags rymdens Amerikabåt om man så vill. Och redan 2024 är det alltså tänkt att en första mindre besättning rymdvikingar ger sig av till Mars – inte av misstag som när Nadodd råkade hitta Island, de har en färdplan. Och de kommer inte att upptäcka en plats som vi inte redan har sett i teleskop och via satelliter. Men att stanna kvar här på jorden är kanske då inte längre ett alternativ.Maria Küchen, författare och kulturskribent

Many people believe the answer to financial security is earning more.But in my experience, the greatest transformation doesn't come from increasing your income alone—it comes from building a strategy.In this episode, we explore the difference between living in financial survival mode and approaching your money with clarity, intention, and long-term direction.Because financial survival isn't defined by your income. It's defined by constantly reacting.Financial strategy, on the other hand, gives every dollar a purpose and every decision a destination.Why high income doesn't automatically create financial securityThe difference between reacting to money and directing itThe hidden cost of living without a long-term financial strategyWhy net wealth—not income—is the true measure of financial progressHow financial strategy creates confidence, clarity, and choiceWhy building assets is the key to making work optionalThe goal isn't simply to earn more.It's to become more intentional with what you earn, so you can build wealth that lasts.Because strategy turns income into assets.Assets create independence.And independence gives you the freedom to choose.If you're ready to move beyond reacting to your finances and start intentionally building your self-funded future, I'd love to support you inside SF-15.SF-15 is my step-by-step wealth-building framework designed to help you strengthen your financial foundations, build meaningful assets, grow your net worth, and create a pathway toward long-term financial independence.Learn more about SF-15 here:www.sf-15.comIf you enjoyed this episode, I think you'll also love:

San Francisco Giants at Seattle Mariners by Tony T. San Francisco is batting .264 on the road with a .439 slugging percentage. Seattle is batting .212 in their past 23 games with a .295 OBP. SF is 15-20 on the road as an underdog of +100 or higher with a +0.6-unit return. Seattle is 7-8 at home facing a starter that allows 0.5 home runs per start or fewer with a -2.8-unit loss.

In Part 2, we begin with Todd and me rapping about how much digital technology has changed just in our lifetimes. Even when he was in school in Colorado, San Francisco had been a goal for Todd, a destination. He got his impression of The City from skateboarding magazines and TV shows. But before moving here, Todd went to Europe, as he puts it, "chasing a girl." He even tried living overseas. When that didn't work out, he moved back to Grand Rapids to save money. In 2001, he made the big move west. When Todd arrived, he had a job already lined up for him. He just needed to find a place to live. He'd respond to Craigslist ads for apartments, but when he showed up to look at one of them, a roommate situation, it had turned into a party. He got the place, his first San Francisco apartment, at Waller and Masonic. Todd takes a moment to reminisce about living in that area, which he's continued to do in the many years since he moved to San Francisco. His walk down memory lane leads us to the Lower Haight. Todd met a lot of cool people at that first SF job, a dotcom, naturally. One of those coworkers had a separate office space in the Lower Haight that served as an auxiliary pressing plant for a record-pressing company based in the Czech Republic. That coworker was bailing on their job and handed the space and the gig over to Todd. It put him face-to-face with musicians in need of vinyl to be pressed. He handled album art as well. His worlds of art and music were colliding in meaningful ways. He quit his dotcom job to do this new gig full-time under the name Circuit 73. More on that later. In addition to the record-pressing gig, Todd was doing flyer art for a friend's monthly zine as well as other various flyer work. He also did album artwork. Two friends who were new at the time were looking for a space to open a music gear store. They ended up in the same space in the Lower Haight where Todd based himself. Todd's graphic design work really started to take off around this time, the early 2000s. He'd only been in San Francisco a couple of years, but Todd felt like he was where he needed to be. I ask Todd whether, all those years ago, he had a plan for how long he would try his new city out. He says he didn't, but back then, he felt like he wouldn't be here the rest of his life. And yet, more than 20 years later, here we are. Then we turn to one of Todd's alter egos/pseudonyms/whatever you wanna call its—Ink Letterman. That persona was born when Todd got his first Instagram account, around 2014 or so. He wanted an alias, and landed on that. It took off around 2020, when he started doing mural work in the early days of the pandemic. Rewinding a bit, Todd started DJing under the name Circuit 73 (another alias) around 2005 or so. He eventually took a lot of time off from music, though. His growing collection of physical media started to make him anxious, so he stopped buying records. He also started a family in this time. Eventually, digital music platforms more or less solidified, so that helped. He also started listening to KUSF/90.3 FM. Being in an office, sitting in front of a computer, it all led to burnout as well. His son was born in 2015 and he semi-retired from graphic design to focus on being a parent and leaning in more to his art (and away from design). Todd's art is part of a group show curated by Known SF and 415 Zine that's up now through August 24 at Mini Bar. Eventually, DJing came back into Todd's life. He's quick to give credit to KEXP/92.7 FM for roping him back in. Another source of inspiration is his son, Oscar. He loves music as much as his dad does, and the two listen together quite a lot. Todd points to both the quantity and the quality of new music in the recent past. He's excited about a surge in old music being reissued as well. He's got a monthly gig, last Friday of every month, as DJ Circuit 73 at 540 Bar on Clement. And his radio show, Directions in Stereo, is on KXSF/102.5 FM every Monday from 10 p.m. to midnight. We end the episode with Todd plugging himself. Follow him on Instagram @inkletterman. Find him on Soundcloud @circuit73. Photography by Dan Hernandez

In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with Julie Samuels, the founder, president, and CEO of Tech:NYC, a network of technology leaders dedicated to fostering a dynamic, diverse, and creative New York. Launched in 2016, Tech:NYC operates at the intersection of business, government, academia, and philanthropy, convening leaders to strengthen New York's innovation economy through policy, partnerships, and programs. We begin with some of Samuels's formative experiences at the intersection of technology and policy: a college internship at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, work as an IP lawyer and at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and her leadership of Engine, the national nonprofit focused on technology entrepreneurship and advocacy. We also discuss the context and conditions that would inform the launch of Tech:NYC: the groundwork laid by the Bloomberg Administration to foster the growth of the city's tech sector, a critical mass of tech firms in the city, and industry leaders like Fred Wilson, Kevin Ryan and Tim Armstrong who recognized that better and coordinated leadership could help shape New York's continued growth as the country (and world's) number two tech hub behind Silicon Valley. Samuels is passionate about the technology-city nexus. "Tech culture and tech zeitgeist really lend themselves to an urbanist way of seeing the world," she says. "People in tech have a systems framework, and big urban centers like New York are all about systems — think about things like public transit. This makes for natural connection between tech and urban centers." She notes that New York has been particularly successful in tech because of the diversity of its other industries: companies can apply and test technologies developed on the West Coast to other markets, from financial services and health care to real estate, hospitality, media, fashion, or wherever New York is the world's "center of gravity." According to Samuels, these dynamics underpin the sector's extraordinary growth: today technology is the city's fastest growing industry with over $30 billion in annual venture capital flowing to 25,000 startups and accounting for 300,000 jobs (64 percent growth over the last decade, 41 percent of net job growth since 2019) and nine percent of the Gross City Product. Samuels underscores the cultural reasons this growth is durable: "Tech is a creative industry," she explains. "It benefits from the creative energy of a big city… density, networks of different kinds of people, cultural institutions, night life. When I lived in San Francisco, I would meet tech people who lived in SF. Here, we have New Yorkers who work in tech." Tech:NYC's work has evolved over the last ten years, while remaining true to its mission "to ensure New York City is the best place to start and grow a tech company." For Samuels, this mission is two-fold: create the conditions for the tech industry to thrive and integrate technology into the life of the city in ways that uplift everyone. "As tech radically changes how all of us live and work," Samuels says, "Tech:NYC exists to ensure transition is as smooth as possible." As a research and policy advocacy organization, Tech:NYC focused its early years primarily on technology policy and the role of the tech sector in the city and state's larger economy. Today, Samuels notes, while Tech:NYC still works closely on tech policy — things like data privacy, broadband, or public private partnerships like Empire AI, which will provide state-of-the-art power for New York's top University researchers to develop safe, equitable, and responsible AI — it is also focused more broadly on basic "livability" issues like housing, education, and public safety that allow people to live, work and raise families in New York.  Tech:NYC's work also extends to programs like Decoded Futures, a capacity-building AI initiative that equips leaders from the social sector with the tools and skills to use AI to scale their impact, and the Grid Fellowship, which connects technology leaders with New York's public sector. And since its earliest days, Tech:NYC has undertaken many initiatives in K-12 and higher education and workforce development to invest in the participation of all New Yorkers in the tech economy. We discuss the challenges of the current moment, including the advent of AI and its attending economic and political complexities. Ultimately, Samuels says, "Progress is real; we're strivers, builders, creators. Let's lean into that, and make sure growth happens with intention and with the right guardrails. New York can lead on this."   Mentioned in this episode: Tech:NYC Built to Lead: New York's Momentum Toward Global Leadership in Applied AI, (Tech:NYC and Accenture, 2025)

Sesh looks like a consumer brand. 8VC looks like the last fund that would back it. That mismatch is the fastest way to see what Austin is becoming.Sesh founder Max Cunningham and 8VC's Jake Medwell start with the logic that makes the deal make sense. Sesh holds a legal moat most competitors can't cross for years, and it earns software-like margins on a physical product. From there the conversation opens into a bigger question about where ambitious companies belong, and why more of them are choosing a city that now draws the founders and families betting on that future.Agenda00:00 What Sesh is06:05 Why 8VC backed a nicotine company10:44 Regulatory timing and the six-year door16:37 Software margins and owning the factory22:01 Who buys this and why the market is growing29:27 Why some companies need SF and others do not34:32 What Austin talent looks like now42:10 The Elon spillover and the coming IPO wave 48:37 Raising kids in the AI age55:07 Safety, schools, and what comes nextGuest LinksSesh: Max Cunningham, Website, X, Instagram8VC: Jake Medwell, Website, X -------------------Austin Next Links: Website, X/Twitter, YouTube, LinkedInEcosystem Metacognition Substack

As the Dáil shuts down for the summer it's time for Hugh, Pat and Jack to take stock of the term gone by. But the biggest political event of the year didn't happen in Leinster House. The April fuel protests left their mark on Irish politics as few other events of recent years have. In part two: How have the various parties navigated the term? Has Mary Lou McDonald steadied the SF ship, and could a forthcoming book by a former party insider cause renewed problems? Can the Social Democrats maintain their recent momentum? Has Simon Harris dialled down his high-energy approach to politics? And when Harris rotates back into the taoiseach's office next year, will Micheal Martin still be the man he'll take over from? Finally: Martin has repeatedly said this Government will be about results, delivery and substance. But will there be enough of that to satisfy voters? On the cost of living issue in particular, the challenge is steep - even with the next election a long way off. Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

It's been 45 years since AIDS was first named. The disease has killed roughly 40 million people worldwide, including 700 thousand Americans. And while much progress has been made, the fight is not over. More than eleven thousand San Franciscan's are still living with HIV. And just earlier this year one of the largest and oldest HIV non-profits in the country, the San Francisco AIDS Foundation was fighting to prevent over a million dollars of annual city funding from being cut, right after the Trump administration cancelled a million dollars in federal funding. The good news is that funding cuts from the city have been partially averted after non-profits, residents and survivors fought and argued for the organization's significance. And this AIDS Activism has a long history in SF, from the days of the AIDS crisis of the 1980s. That's when activists, caregivers, survivors, and community members started the long fight to build queer solidarity. KALW's Travis Raburn wanted to know what we can learn from those elder pioneers today. So he recently invited three of them to join him in conversation at KALW's live event space in Downtown SF. Paul Aguilar, who we heard earlier, a long-term survivor community liaison at the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. Patrick Batt, the owner of AutoErotica in the Castro, and Reverend Jim Mitulski, former pastor of the Metropolitan Community Church.In this excerpt from their conversation, the three of them reflect on what it was like to live through the AIDS Crisis during their young adulthoods.

Are you running your business, or is your business running you? In this episode of the Smells Like Money podcast, host Suzan Chin Taylor sits down with Gregg Schonhorn of SF&P Advisors to dive into a topic many contractors and entrepreneurs avoid: exit strategies and succession planning. Gregg shares his journey from Wall Street to executive coaching and Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A), bringing massive insights into how business owners can scale their operations for a highly profitable future exit. They unpack the critical internal systems that separate a thriving, sellable business from one that is bleeding revenue, while exploring a major industry pain point: why business owners mistakenly blame their marketing agencies when the real issue lies within their own sales processes and internal operations. Key Takeaways From This Episode:- The Reality of Exiting: Every business owner will eventually exit their company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. Long range planning and a solid succession strategy are essential for securing your legacy and maximizing your company value.- Stop Blaming the Marketing Agency: When business owners complain that their marketing sucks, the root cause is rarely a lack of leads. It is almost always an internal process problem, such as unmanaged CSR pipelines, high numbers of unsold estimates, or poor lead conversion systems.- The Revenue Hiding in Your CRM: A $5 million company often sits on $600,000 to $800,000 in unsold estimates. Before demanding more leads, businesses need to optimize their call tracking, quality control, average ticket prices, and internal follow up systems.- The 24/7/365 Business Model: If your Google profile or website lists your business hours as Monday through Friday from 9 to 5, you are actively losing emergency revenue. Modern service providers must utilize AI automated answering systems and after hours processes to capture leads the moment they roll in.- Evolving Your Growth Tactics: What gets a business from zero to $1 million in revenue requires a relentless daily hustle, like home shows and physical community outreach. However, scaling from $5 million to $15 million and beyond requires stepping away from the daily grind and focusing heavily on long term branding, community presence, and robust infrastructure.Connect with Gregg Schonhorn:SF&P AdvisorsContact: gregg@sfpadvisors.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sf&p-advisors/ Website: sfpadvisors.comI hope you find this episode as informative and as exciting as we have.Please let us know your thoughts about the episode!Connect with Suzan Chin-Taylor, host of The DooDoo Diva's Smells Like Money Podcast:Website: www.creativeraven.com | https://thetuitgroup.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/creativeraven/Email: raven@creativeraven.com Telephone: +1 760-217-8010Listen and subscribe here to your favorite platform:Apple Podcast - Google Podcast - Cast Box - Overcast - Pocket Casts - YouTube - Spotifyhttps://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/ Subscribe to the Podcast:https://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/Be a guest on our show:https://calendly.com/thetuitgroup/be-a-podcast-guestCheck Out my NEW Digital Marketing E-Course & Coaching Program just for Wastewater Pros:https://store.thetuitgroup.com/diy-digital-marketing-playbook-for-wastewater-pros#SmellsLikeMoneyPodcast #BuiltToSell #ExitStrategy #SuccessionPlanning #BusinessScaling #MergersAndAcquisitions #WastewaterIndustry #ContractorLife #WWETTShow

May 1979: queer protesters set cop cars ablaze in San Francisco's Civic Center, in response to cop-turned-politician Dan White's relatively light sentence for the assassination of gay politician Harvey Milk and the Mayor, George Moscone. Four people who were there describe the riots, and the related police riots where cops stormed the lesbian bar Peg's Place in the Richmond, and the Elephant Walk, a gay bar in the Castro, during a time of heavy state surveillance and repression—so not unlike today.

Key Takeaways311-unit affordable community in Goodlettsville, TN with 1–3 bedroom units, 11,000+ SF of retail, and a 5,000 SF clubhouse.Ground-floor retail used for placemaking, Main Street activation, and creating a live-work environment that adds value for residents and the city.Capital stack: ~40% tax credit equity, ~50% favorable tax-exempt permanent debt, ~10% local soft funding; initial budget was ~$8M over and required heavy value engineering.Amazon's Housing Equity Fund was a key capital partner; locking a 4.5% construction and perm rate on a 40-year loan helped save the deal amid rising rates.Clubhouse is 100% solar powered with Tesla Powerwalls; project uses sustainability and design to break old “affordable housing” stereotypes.Business model: impact-focused but profitable by stacking tax credits, cheaper debt, and soft money instead of charging high rents.Long-term mission: commit to up to 99 years of affordability, with recapitalization and upgrades after 15–20 years while keeping units affordable.Core lessons: tell a compelling story and create a strong sense of place, and work with partners who can creatively problem-solve when costs and conditions change.

This Monday on KPFA's Women's Magazine Lisa Dettmer will talk to Wynd Kaufman and Valerie Sizemore  from the local grassroots group Stop AI about the existential threat that AI poses to our existence.  Stop AI is a very committed group of local activists who are willing to put their bodies on the line as they seek a world that values humanity over machines and community care over profit. They work to raise  public awareness, influence decision-makers and legislation, and engaging in non-violent direct action which 5 members of their group did recently right here in  SF, the capital of AI. One of our guests Wynd Kaufman was part of the group of Stop AI members who blockaded the doors of  OpenAI, a leading company in the global race to develop “Artificial General Intelligence” (AGI) and “Artificial Superintelligence” (ASI), AI that would match or exceed human capabilities across the board.  Wynd Kaufman a former professor at City College  was recently convicted by the SF prosecutors of trespassing, interfering with a business, unlawful assembly, and refusal to disperse for her acts of Civil Disobedience.   This case marks the first time a court got  to hear some of the copious evidence that AI companies are gambling with our lives. You can find out more about StopAI at https://www.stopai.info/ Next, we talk to 3 women directors who are showing their documentaries at the Sf Jewish Film Festival, Leah Galant, Vivian Kleinman and Sai Gilman Director Leah Galant's Landscapes of Memory delves into the thorny issues of who Holocaust memorials are made for and the proliferation and mystification of memorial culture in Germany. Galant's documentary is a profound meditation on the uses and abuses of memorial culture and the intersection of national trauma and collective memory Berkeley resident Vivian Kleiman  will talk to us about her short film, A Grain of Truth, which journeys into wartime Denmark to uncover a cherished national myth—the Legend of the Yellow Star—through the lens of collective memory.   And Sari Gilman will be screening her Work-in-Progress short film, American Jew. About  her father and how his sense of belonging to Judaism has eroded because of Israel. You can get more information about the festival at https://jfi.org/sfjff-2026   The post Lisa Dettmer talks to Stop AI members/ and to 3 directors of films at SF Jewish Film Festival appeared first on KPFA.

Telling Stories ep. 833 J.S.Watts is a British poet and novelist who weaves the fantastical and the literary with other vibrant strands to create glowing, multi-faceted writing.  Her poetry, short stories and non-fiction appear in a wide variety of publications in Britain, the US and abroad and have been broadcast on BBC and Independent Radio. She has edited various magazines and anthologies and performed her poetry across England, Scotland and Wales, but not yet in Ireland (should anyone from Ireland be reading this). Along the way, she has won various awards and had honourable mentions in others, but nothing so outstanding that she wants to make a big thing out of it. J.S.'s three poetry collections, Cats and Other Myths, Years Ago You Coloured Me and Underword, are published by Lapwing Publications, as is her multi-award nominated SF poetry pamphlet, Songs of Steelyard Sue. Her poetry pamphlet, The Submerged Sea, was published by Dempsey & Windle. Her novels, A Darker Moon – dark fiction, Witchlight, Old Light and Elderlight – an urban fantasy trilogy, are published in the US and UK by Vagabondage Press.  For further details see her website: http://www.jswatts.co.uk J.S. also has a Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/J.S.Watts.page and is on Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/j-s-watts.bsky.social   This story was published in the Lorelei Signal in July 2025   ---- Listen Elsewhere ---- YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/TallTaleTV Website: http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- Story Submission ---- Got a short story you'd like to submit? Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.
