//The Wire//1700Z July 23, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: TARGETING THROUGHOUT MIDDLE EAST CONTINUES TO ESCALATE. CRUDE OIL FUTURES SURGE AS HOUTHIS ENTER THE WAR BY STRIKING TWO SAUDI TANKERS. U.S. HOUSE PASSES 2027 NDAA, WITH SECTION 219 LANGUAGE INTACT. POLICE SHOOTING REPORTED IN WISCONSIN, PROTESTS ALREADY UNDERWAY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Red Sea/HOA: The Houthis entered the war overnight, striking two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea. The Houthis claim to have targeted the M/T ENCELA and the M/T LAYLIA for attempting to transit the Red Sea to the Saudi oil terminal at Yanbu. The UKMTO confirmed that at least one tanker was struck, but made no mention of the other vessel.Kuwait: Last night the Abdali Border Checkpoint crossing with Iraq was struck by an unidentified Iranian munition. This morning, satellite imagery became available for the first time in a few days over Ali Al Salem Airbase. At this base, a 50+ meter impact crater is visible directly in the center of a series of barracks buildings. The exact timing of this attack is not known, but the imagery indicates it was conducted sometime over the past week.-HomeFront-Wisconsin: Yesterday afternoon a high-profile police shooting was reported in Madison, which involved a man with a knife being shot during a scuffle in the vicinity of Baldwin and Williamson Street. The suspect's identity has not been confirmed yet, however protests and demonstrations broke out immediately after the shooting occurred. More demonstrations were carried out this morning, and more protests are expected over the next few days.Washington D.C. - Last night, the House of Representatives passed the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which included the highly controversial Section 219 language intact. This section links the American military industry with Israel, embedding Israeli control of discretionary budgets within the Pentagon. The bill enables the creation of an "Executive Agent" for the Pentagon, which will direct American military technological advancements at the behest of the IDF. The bill now heads to the Senate for approval, where it is expected to pass.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Following the strikes in the Red Sea, financial markets reacted as Brent crude spiked to over $100/bbl, bringing futures prices back in line with the height of the war months ago. This is an indicator that the flimflammery present in the financial sector can no longer ignore the reality of the situation at hand. Since the war began, a grand game of musical chairs has been played by powerful entities to pretend that everything is fine, but at some point the markets will be forced into accepting reality by the sheer lack of oil. Within a few weeks the music is going to stop, and hard decisions will have to be made. This is why President Trump himself stated on June 17th that the main reason for signing the MOU was to prevent an extremely dire energy crisis, because the US was running out of oil. He directly stated that the US had 4 weeks of oil reserves left, and that if those run out, "bedlam" would be the result.The Houthi's becoming involved, and proving their dedication by striking oil tankers, is stacking concerns on top of concerns. The war in the Middle East now officially affects three of the most important maritime choke points in the world: the Strait of Hormuz, Bab el Mandeb, and the Suez Canal. Shipping attempting to transit any of these three points will very likely either be targeted directly, or be negatively affected in some way and the other options for securing oil are tightening as well. Venezuela, the nation that has become a proxy state of the US and thusly touted as being a major source of US oil during the Hormuz Crisis...just suffered a catastrophic earthquake that severely damaged infrastructure. Despite this destruction, oil continues to flow, but it was only ever half a million barrels per day before the war, and it's hard to imagine that an earthquake would make that export any easier. The war in Ukraine now including the daily mutual targeting of Russian and Ukrainian tanker vessels further squeezes an already dire situation. Even if the US does not use Russian oil, petroleum is a commodity...a scarcity in one place on earth affects the whole world because supply is reduced and demand remains the same.Over the past few days, most indications and warnings point to a widening of the war in the Middle East. The US has flown a lot of assets into the region, and has relocated many other assets based on the assumption that American bases will continue to be struck. The Israelis are starting to prepare their larger civil defense bunkers in preparation for large-scale ballistic missile strikes, and PM Netanyahu is scheduled to visit the US sometime this week, though the schedule has not been finalized. Glancing at mainstream media right now results in an onslaught of commentary urging strikes on Iran...you can't turn on the television without hearing the words "Pickaxe Mountain" in the context of a random ex-General urging strikes on this bunker complex, which is impervious to everything but a subterranean nuclear detonation.Nothing on the table right now points to de-escalation, in fact, all indications align with a return to the full-scale bombing campaign of the early days of the war. It's always possible to suddenly switch back to diplomacy and not restart major operations, but wars are usually fought on trends. And right now, the trends continue to suggest the war escalating for the time being.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Recorded at Posidonia 2026 in Greece, this episode of the Seatrade Maritime podcast features correspondent Gary Howard in conversation with Maria Kyratsoudi, business development director, Greece, at ABS.Together they explore how Greek shipowners are responding to tightening IMO and EU regulations, and why energy efficiency and performance optimisation are taking priority over early bets on alternative fuels.In this episode:ABS as “Greece's trusted class” How ABS's role has evolved from traditional classification to technical and sustainability advisor.Expanded engineering, sustainability, and advisory capabilities for Greek clients.Newbuilding trends in the Greek fleetStrong increase in tanker, VLCC/Suezmax, and bulk carrier orders, with LNG and LPG also in the mix.How owners are aligning fleet renewal with regulatory and commercial pressures.Decarbonisation and regulation: IMO + EU Why Greek owners are looking at the combined impact of IMO and EU rules rather than single regulations in isolation.The drive for energy efficiency upgrades, fuel readiness, and robust compliance documentation.Efficiency first, fuels later Why the immediate focus is on energy efficiency and performance optimisation for both newbuilds and retrofits.Making vessels more commercially attractive through measurable real‑world gains.Digitalisation and data How regulatory demands for accurate data are pushing pragmatic adoption of digital tools.The link between digitalisation and decarbonisation, and using performance data to support charterers and financiers.

1. Strait of Hormuz and Iran Conflict Key points discussed include: Claims that military confrontations between the U.S. and Iran are ongoing. Concerns about threats to commercial shipping and global energy supplies. Discussion of a proposed U.S. transit fee for ships using the Strait of Hormuz, which the speaker says was later replaced with trade and investment agreements involving Gulf states. Assertions that the U.S. is maintaining a blockade on Iranian shipping while protecting international maritime traffic. Discussion of rising oil prices, shipping disruptions, and broader economic implications. U.S. actions are necessary to maintain freedom of navigation and prevent Iran from disrupting world trade and energy markets. 2. Inflation and the U.S. Economy Inflation has fallen significantly. Economic analysts and media outlets underestimated the improvement in inflation figures. Lower energy prices contributed heavily to the reported decline in inflation. The economic results support President Trump's policies and leadership. This is evidence that media organizations and economists have been overly pessimistic about the economy.

Michael Bernstam explores Houthi threats to the Bab-el-Mandeb strait, which could drive oil prices over $100 per barrel by choking global shipping. Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone strikes have crippled Russian refining capacity and shipping in the Black Sea, leading to energy rationing, electricity shortages, and potential food crises in Crimea.

The Strait of Hormuz is capturing headlines again as conflict between the United States and Iran escalates. Some commercial operators are reportedly refusing passage even with military escorts because crews and shipowners do not believe the risk can be managed. But viewing Hormuz as an isolated crisis misses the larger trend. Commercial shipping is increasingly becoming a weapon of war, economic coercion, and political leverage across multiple regions.We have seen attacks and interference in the Gulf of Aden, the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov, the Baltic Sea, and around strategic infrastructure in Central America. Ships are large, slow, visible, expensive targets. A relatively inexpensive drone or guided munition can damage a vessel worth tens of millions of dollars, disrupt its cargo, increase insurance costs, and discourage every other shipowner from entering the area.The ship does not need to sink for the attack to succeed.--------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Shaw, then left it all to start from scratch. After a YC pivot away from a Slack competitor he was told not to build, he landed on something foundational: BAML, a programming language for a world where humans increasingly don't read code. His thesis: every software leap came from a new compute paradigm getting its own language assembly, C, Java, JavaScript and LLMs are the next primitive. They're probabilistic and non-deterministic, which breaks our deterministic tooling. In this episode, Vaibhav explains why "shipping at agent speed" is really a problem of trust and control, why 90% of engineering is plumbing AI will delete, why "English as a programming language" can't work, and why the world has a mathematically infinite appetite for software. Topics covered: - Why LLMs are a new compute primitive and why that justifies a new language - BAML: an embedded, type-safe language for structured LLM outputs across any language - Shipping at agent speed as a problem of trust, locking, and granular control - Why traditional CI/CD breaks in an agent loop - The "data trench" one type system across code, backend, and data - Why 90% of engineering is plumbing, and what changes when AI removes it - Where SaaS pricing and product models are heading

Shippingsektoren har levert flere år med sterk inntjening, solide kontantstrømmer og noen av de høyeste utbyttene på Oslo Børs. Rederiene har brukt de gode tidene til å styrke balansene, samtidig som investeringstakten har økt - spesielt blant de private aktørene. Særlig innen tank har ordrebøkene vokst raskt, noe som reiser spørsmål om hvor lenge dagens sterke marked kan vare.I denne episoden av Paretopodden får Sebastian Baartvedt besøk av shippinganalytiker August Klemp for en oppdatering på de viktigste trendene på tvers av shippingsegmentene. De diskuterer hvorfor ratene fortsatt holder seg på historisk høye nivåer, hvordan den økende nybyggingsaktiviteten påvirker utsiktene fremover, og hvorfor verdsettelsen av mange shippingaksjer nå krever en mer selektiv tilnærming.Samtalen går også inn på forskjellene mellom tank, tørrlast, container og gass, og hvilke segmenter som fortsatt har de mest attraktive risiko- og avkastningsprofilene. Tørrlast skiller seg fortsatt ut med en relativt begrenset ordrebok sammenlignet med resten av sektoren, og August forklarer hvorfor CMB.TECH er blant Pareto Securities' foretrukne shippingaksjer.Disclaimer:Pareto Securities' podkaster inneholder ikke profesjonell rådgivning, og skal ikke betraktes som investeringsrådgivning.

Roughly a fifth of the world's oil and more than a tenth of all global trade has been navigating a literal minefield, a wary insurance industry, and whipsawing geopolitics since late February of this year. But looking beyond the Strait of Hormuz closure itself, the same pattern threatens every critical chokepoint: passages open to all shipping for the past 80 years are becoming strategic assets within a geopolitical power struggle. If we continue this trend, what does a more fragmented, higher-cost, higher-risk maritime system mean for the norms and safety of the shipping industry, and what are the ripple effects for global trade?  In this episode, Nate is joined by maritime historian and former merchant mariner, Sal Mercogliano, to break down what the ongoing events in the Strait of Hormuz reveal about the state of global shipping and trade. Sal traces how the rise of unregistered "dark fleet" tankers and increasing risk – and subsequent cost – of maritime trade are reshaping the safety and stability of shipping across the globe. He also walks through who actually "owns" the Strait of Hormuz, the improvised insurance and security arrangements now propping up tanker traffic, and the human toll on the roughly 20,000 mariners who have been stranded, attacked, or killed since the crisis began. Ultimately, Sal examines how the 80-year-old norm of 'freedom of the seas' is being tested by this standoff, exposing the fragile foundation of our hyper-complex, just-in-time shipping system.  Why does the volume and velocity of modern trade make a conflict like the one in the Strait of Hormuz so much more consequential than at any other time in history? Is "might makes right" becoming the central pillar governing the world's oceans, and if so, what does that mean for the cost of everything that arrives by ship? And what does this conflict reveal about the stability of our highly interdependent system as global powers continue to fracture and isolate? (Conversation recorded on June 29th, 2026)    About Sal Mercogliano: Dr. Salvatore R. Mercogliano is an associate professor of history at Campbell University in North Carolina and adjunct professor at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. He holds a bachelor of science in marine transportation from the State University of New York Maritime College, along with a merchant marine deck officer license (unlimited tonnage 2nd mate), a master's in maritime history and nautical archaeology from East Carolina University, and a Ph.D. in military and naval history from the University of Alabama. He is also the host of the popular podcast What's Going on With Shipping, which focuses on Maritime Industry Policy, current events in the Maritime Sector, and Maritime History.   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

John Maytham speaks to Professor Yossi Mekelberg, international relations analyst at Chatham House, about escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, President Donald Trump's ultimatum to Tehran, and whether the crisis is heading towards renewed negotiations or a broader conflict. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists.

Jacob sits down with J Mintzmyer of Value Investors Edge for a shipping deep-dive (but of course it's a geopolitics lesson in disguise). Mintzmyer argues the industry has barely changed in eleven years, most of the efficiency gains, double hulls, eco-designed vessels, LNG boil-off fixes, were locked in over a decade ago, leaving only regulation to move the needle. The two dig into why the US lost shipbuilding to Japan, Korea, and now China, how the Jones Act complicates the picture, and why America's real shot at relevance lies in owning and financing vessels, not building them.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Welcome and Setup(01:20) - Meet J Mintzmyer(02:38) - Shipping for Dummies(06:24) - How Shipping Demand Works(08:30) - Has Shipping Changed(16:48) - US Shipbuilding Decline(26:14) - Tonnage Tax Loophole(27:15) - Make US Shipping Competitive(27:54) - Finance Incentives Not Sanctions(28:56) - Why US Shipbuilding Lags(31:31) - China Shipbuilding Dominance(44:36) - Automation And Future Innovation--Referenced in the Show:Twitter: https://x.com/mintzmyerWebsite: www.vieresearch.comBox book: https://www.amazon.com/Box-Shipping-Container-Smaller-Economy/dp/0691170819Chinese automated shipyard (video): https://youtu.be/RXr03aRF_p8?si=1cjIBZaFeTTqhutD--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Shapiro LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jacob-l-s-a9337416Jacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapJacob Shapiro Substack: jashap.substack.com/subscribe --The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

Justin Lin of Easy China Warehouse joins Mike to break down 2026 logistics realities: rising shipping rates, tariff headaches, inventory strategy, and what sellers should do before Q4.

What does it actually take to build a robot that cleans your home when everyone before has failed?Matic is a home robot that sweeps and mops your floors, navigating entirely with cameras, no LIDAR. It shipped its first unit in 2024 and has since sold 6,000 units at ~2,000 a month, almost entirely by word of mouth. And is now the largest consumer robotics company shipping in the United States.Navneet Dalal (a computer-vision pioneer who co-invented HOG) and Mehul Nariyawala met building Flutter, a gesture-recognition app that became #1 in 72 countries and was acquired by Google, where they then worked on Nest cameras and shipped one of the first deep learning algorithms in the wild. Matic is the company they decided would be their last: they wrote "Not For Sale" on the wall on day one and built it to last 20 to 30 years.Their bet was deliberately contrarian. They chose the "unsexy" floor-cleaning market, a category with a net promoter score of -1 that people keep buying anyway (21 million robot vacuums sold in 2024), because entering an existing market beats creating a new one and because it's the foundation for true indoor autonomy. Then they put roughly $35 million of their own money in, about 70% of their net worth, with no plan B.Along the way they lay out a full worldview: why robotics is 100x harder than software (the demo is only the first 20% of the work); why humanoids doing your chores are still 5 to 20 years away (the data problem), why no consumer hardware sells above $2,000; and the skin-in-the-game philosophy captured by his late father's advice: "Sell your home if you have to, but keep the company alive."If you're excited about how home robots actually get built and what it really takes to bet everything on hard tech, this episode is for you.00:00 - Trailer01:08 - When they quit Google to start Matic03:30 - Solving home cleaning with cameras only — no LIDAR04:46 - The $35M bet: funding Matic themselves07:36 - What a "level 5" robot in your home really means08:00 - Why they started with floor cleaning — on purpose09:45 - The rule: never create a new market with your first product10:02 - iPod, iPhone, Tesla — all entered existing markets11:38 - Why new hardware gives you only one shot13:02 - "Make something people NEED, not want"16:25 - Why the demo is only 20% of robotics18:50 - Teaching a robot like raising a child21:30 - How far are humanoids from real homes?22:22 - The data problem: "500 years of driving data a day"22:56 - 90% in the lab, 60% in the real world26:49 - Why no consumer device sells above $2,00027:38 - Would you buy a $10,000 humanoid — for what?28:47 - "History rhymes": General Magic to the iPhone29:38 - Earning trust after 20 years of broken robot promises30:31 - Shipping the first robot30:45 - 6,000 units, all word of mouth, zero marketing31:10 - Why they're US-only for now 31:50 - The investors: Sutter Hill to the Collison brothers33:20 - Two companies, both acquired by Google35:00 - The Flutter story: #1 app in 72 countries35:25 - Why nobody believed machine learning worked in 201138:40 - Microsoft Kinect: 8 million units in 60 days40:30 - The Google acquisition — and the $35M number44:40 - The near-death moment: switching to NVIDIA53:10 - iRobot's bankruptcy and what it means for Matic53:55 - The real scale of robotics: 21M robot vacuums a year57:45 - Putting 70% of their net worth on the line58:40 - His father's advice: "sell your home, keep the company"-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Joel Brewer, founder and CEO of Brewer Digital, joins Jeff Mains on Future Proof Founder to cut through the AI hype and get practical about what it actually means to build software in 2025. Joel brings a developer's perspective to a conversation that's usually dominated by non-technical voices — and the result is a grounded, honest look at how early-stage SaaS founders can work with engineering teams, avoid costly mistakes, and use AI as a tool rather than a crutch.From rescuing failed offshore builds to helping non-technical founders navigate Claude Code, Joel shares what he's learned from 13 years in the startup trenches. The conversation covers sandbox environments, the evolving definition of a senior engineer, the difference between bootstrapped and VC-backed engineering cultures, and why clear goals — not shiny tools — are still the most valuable thing in any founder's arsenal.Key Takeaways3:46 — Joel shares how getting fired launched his 13-year journey building Brewer Digital from freelance Rails work to a full software development agency for early-stage founders.6:59 — Goals before tools. Joel's antidote to AI-driven chaos: go back to basics. Know where you're headed before you pick up a tool. AI accelerates whatever you point it at — including anxiety.11:36 — The sandbox lesson. Real-world story: a client went rogue with Claude Code and made changes directly to a production database, thinking they were just experimenting. Sandboxes exist for a reason.14:15 — The new definition of a senior engineer. From Google I/O: senior engineers used to be defined by what they could build that others couldn't. Now, they're defined by what they understand that others don't — especially critical as AI writes more code.15:17 — The construction metaphor. AI doesn't eliminate the need for engineers — it expands what's possible to build. We went from huts to skyscrapers with better tools. The same shift is happening in software.19:36 — Communication breaks before code does. When Joel steps into a failed project, the first red flag he looks for isn't the codebase — it's whether communication between founders and engineers has broken down.21:08 — Optimize for the right thing. Feedback loops are powerful — but only if you've already defined what you're optimizing for. Shipping features faster means nothing if the features aren't moving the needle.24:21 — The Southwest Airlines principle. Joel shares a CEO quote about the real goal of flying a plane — not the technical operation, but getting someone home for Christmas. The same applies to product teams: the feature is never the goal.25:52 — Bootstrapped vs. VC-backed engineering cultures. Bootstrappers tend toward capital efficiency and caution. VC-backed companies optimize for velocity and growth at scale. Different goals, different cultures — both valid depending on the mission.30:21 — What gets lost when AI replaces people. When you replace humans with agents, you lose humanity and irreplaceable individual creativity. Joel argues that sitting with a notebook for 15 minutes can still outperform an hour with AI for generating genuinely inspired thinking.33:36 — Advice for non-technical founders hiring developers. Know your goals for the product before the first engineering conversation. Engineers love solving problems — if you don't guide them with clear goals, they'll solve the wrong one brilliantly.35:03 — The future of founder-engineering relationships. AI removes code-writing as the bottleneck. The new bottleneck is communication — rapid testing, alignment, and iteration between product, founder, and engineering.38:24 — Complexity kills growth. AI tools are excellent at adding complexity. Founders who learn to fight that tendency — preferring simplicity and brevity — will have a structural advantage.Tweetable Quotes"AI becomes a tool when you know where you're headed. If you don't know your destination, AI just helps you get lost faster." — Joel Brewer"A senior engineer used to be someone who could build what others couldn't. Now, they're someone who understands what others don't." — Joel Brewer"The sandbox isn't optional. You can ask Claude to change your production database, and it will. Enthusiastically." — Joel Brewer"Complexity kills growth. AI is really good at adding complexity. That's a problem worth solving on purpose." — Joel Brewer"I sat down with a notebook for 15 minutes and had more genuinely inspired ideas than an hour with AI. People can still think. That's not nothing." — Joel Brewer"If your imagination is unlimited, AI doesn't replace you — it just lets you build the skyscraper instead of the hut." — Joel Brewer"We're not very good at predicting the future. And when there's a lot of money involved in selling a specific version of it, that's worth keeping in mind." — Joel BrewerSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Start with goals, not tools. The most expensive AI mistakes happen when founders adopt a tool and then search for a use case. Reverse the order: define what you're trying to accomplish, then evaluate whether AI actually serves that goal. Tool-first thinking creates fast, sophisticated chaos.2. Build a sandbox culture — literally and figuratively. Non-technical founders experimenting with AI-assisted development tools need guardrails. In software, that means sandboxed environments separated from production. In leadership, it means creating space for experimentation that doesn't put the business at risk. Permission to explore is only valuable when the blast radius is contained.3. The new competitive edge is understanding, not output. As AI commoditizes the ability to generate code, copy, and content, the strategic advantage shifts to comprehension — people who understand why something works, what the architecture actually does, and when not to build something at all. Leaders who can explain the machine are worth more than leaders who can only operate it.4. Communication is the bottleneck AI just uncovered. Before AI, writing code was slow enough that communication gaps could hide. Now that code can be written in hours, the limiting factor is alignment — between founders and engineers, product and market, vision and execution. Founders who invest in communication infrastructure will outpace those who just invest in faster tools.5. Tie every feature to a business outcome — before the first line of code. Engineers are problem-solvers. They will build what you put in front of them. If the problem you hand them isn't connected to a business goal, they'll build the wrong thing exceptionally well. Make the goal explicit, measurable, and understood by the whole team before any work begins.6. The human element isn't a liability — protect it. When every company is using similar AI stacks, the differentiator becomes the people. Human creativity — particularly the kind that emerges from unstructured thinking time — is increasingly rare and undervalued. The best leaders will use AI to create more space for deep thinking, not less.Guest Resourcesjoel@brewerdigital.com www.brewerdigital.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/joel-brewer-69680037/ Episode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

Vendit AI Lister Free Month - Code: purehustle In this episode we discuss making money while traveling and major changes in shipping that will impact resellers.

Ukrainian drone strikes have brought shipping in the Sea of Azov to a near standstill, disrupting a corridor that carries up to a quarter of Russia's wheat exports and sending tremors through global grain and oil markets. They have also knocked out a significant share of Russia's refining capacity, prompting Moscow to ban diesel exports until the end of July and further unsettling global oil markets. In Russian-occupied Crimea, petrol prices have reached a record high.

1993. La série X-Files est diffusée pour la première fois sur la Fox. Le réalisateur, Chris Carter, travaille dessus depuis maintenant deux ans. Au moment de sa sortie, il est sans doute loin d'imaginer le succès que le show s'apprête à rencontrer... Fox Mulder est interprété par David Duchovny. Dana Scully par Gillian Anderson. Deux acteurs pour lesquels Chris Carter s'est battu. X-Files c'est eux, Mulder et Scully. C'est aussi le tout premier "shipping" de l'ère des série. Dérivé de "relationship", le terme désigne l'investissement des fans dans une relation amoureuse soit existante, soit entièrement fantasmée.  Un podcast Bababam Originals Ecriture et voix : Alice Deroide Learn more about your ad choices.

We have been trying to drill it into people's heads for over a year now. There is no actual ceasefire in the script. The Iran War was set in stone decades ago with the 7 Country Plan. Today, Iran continues to get pummeled by US bombs at 170 targets as Iran strikes Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Jordan in retaliation. President Trump claims there may not be a deal at all. Considering he said this would last 2 to 4 weeks, it's been 3 months and he claimed months ago that all of Iran's nuclear weapons were destroyed, this is clearly the continuation of the nefarious actions against the Middle East we've been seeing for decades. There is absolutely no honesty in the propaganda reported by the US government and media. This is leading to what is being called a "deepening dark trend" with the destruction of the global supply chain. Farmers can't get fertilizer unless they spend big money. Food prices are skyrocketing. Gas prices are skyrocketing (again). Iran has been sending out emergency oil and gas reserves in anticipation of potentially months of fighting. Qatar is halting their push to ramp up LNG production after more attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, President Trump is blaming gas retailers for the high prices. What? On top of all of this, data centers are being used in warfare now, making decisions on the battlefield utilizing AI. We are entering into a vastly Orwellian technocratic future with digital IDs and rations under the guise of "emergency orders." These orders will ensure food rations, grid rations and social credit systems. These systems are currently already developed and being written into law. This is the "reset."

Graham Platner, the U.S. Democrat senate candidate and self described progressive from Maine has resigned from the race. It comes after mounting calls from within his own party after sexual and assault allegations.Vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz appears to have ground to a near-halt after the latest escalation of hostilities between the United States and Iran, after Tehran attacked ships trying to pass the strait using the non-Iran-controlled southern Oman route, triggering a fresh cycle of escalation as Washington responded with a flurry of strikes.

The U.S.-Iran ceasefire is on the brink after another exchange of fire. Wednesday night, U.S. Central Command said it completed a new round of strikes against Iran. Neither side appears ready to return to talks, and Iran has not said it will allow free passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Liz Landers reports.

The US carries out strikes in Iran, in retaliation for what it says is renewed Iranian targeting of commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran has condemned the attacks. Also: the French far-right leader Marine Le Pen confirms she will contest next year's presidential election. China is dealing with severe rain and flooding that's left more than 20 people dead. Super-strength cannabis is flooding Britain. The line-up for the quarter-finals of the World Cup is now complete, and a Manhattan skyscraper has been evacuated after fears that it could collapse.

The US Treasury Department has announced it will no longer allow Iranian oil sales to be conducted in US dollars on global markets after several tankers were hit by projectiles while attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz. The move has left more than 60 million barrels of Iranian crude stranded at sea without any clear buyers. Also in this edition, we go inside a Chinese air conditioning factory racing to meet soaring European demand as heatwaves drive up sales.

We've all been witness to how AI collapses the org chart: leaders are back to doing IC work, ICs are shedding the busy work, and teams are shipping features in two-week sprints that used to take a year. Our guest today is Eric Anderson, SVP of Product at Datasite, the virtual data room platform where billion-dollar M&A deals get done. He walks us through how a real-life, AI-first team has made progress in adoption and the difficulties along the way. In this episode, Eric shares: How the contract has changed as the PM role has evolved. It's not a layoff story - but product has collapsed back to subject-matter expertise, judgment, and taste Inside their “iteration zero” process: where PRDs are written live in the meeting, prototypes are wired to real data, and what the new bottleneck is now that building is fast Plus how you build trust in your AI product when a billion dollars is on the line: citations for everything, correlation, not imperative statements, and why nobody lets the computer decide Links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-anderson-pr0ductexec/ Datasite: https://www.datasite.com/ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 03:04 AI is flattening the org chart (and why that's a good thing) 07:32 "The contract has changed": PRDs written live, ideas to code in minutes 14:42 Rise of the hyper creator: Blurring roles on the product team 17:53 Shipping fast isn't enough: Why taste and focus are the new bottleneck 21:35 Inside the virtual data room (VDR) 26:52 How Datasite builds trust in AI insights 31:59 Wrapping up Follow LaunchPod on YouTube We have a new YouTube page!

Shipping fascinates me. The industry usually quietly carries approximately 80% of all internationally traded good. Tankers reach 400m long and carry loads of $200m+ worth of oil. But the best part of it is the 4D multi-year chess game played across the globe, by an industry that can be as profitable as it is cyclical.Watch it on YouTube or listen on the Substack player or every podcast app.Key topics discussed* The math behind 30% returns on $140M assets.* Managing risk in a highly cyclical, capex-heavy industry.* Why Japan and China are rebuilding global oil storage.* The "one-stop shop" model for financial investors in shipping (the Uber of Shipping).SummaryPankaj Khanna, CEO of Nasdaq-listed Heidmar, discusses how shipping and freight underpin the global economy, focusing on oil tanker markets. He shares his path from an Indian merchant navy cadet to CEO and 45% owner, and explains Heidmar's growth since 2019 from six ships and six people to managing 65 vessels across six global offices with 65 staff. Heidmar is a non-asset-owning, debt-free, “one-stop shop” providing ship acquisition support, financing and corporate setup, technical management (crews, SMS), and commercial management (employment with oil majors and traders enabled by long-standing KYC approvals), earning daily fees and commissions on freight. The discussion covers spot freight economics, investor types, traders' roles, shipping cyclicality driven by geopolitics, distance and fleet supply, and Heidmar's long-term digital platform and AI initiatives to optimize operations, alongside the company's EBITDA-multiple valuation versus NAV.LinksHeidmarhttps://www.heidmar.com/Pankaj Khanna on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/pankaj-khanna-69746b1/About Investology:A podcast dedicated to investment management intelligence and uncovering new ways to deliver better outcomes for investors.

From child auditions on the West End to starring in not just one huge movie, ‘My Fault: London' but now its follow up ‘Your Fault: London' Asha Banks has been working since she was seven years old! And at 22, she is only just getting started.  In this chat with Josh, Asha reveals the brutal reality of child auditions and how rejection at a young age built the resilience she relies on today. She looks back on her meteoric rise over the last 18 months, going from playing a show for 40 people to 65,000 people in Hyde Park, and tells Josh who keeps her grounded through all of it. Asha gets into why intimacy coordinators create freedom rather than limit it, and lets Josh in on the great chat that kick-started her friendship with co-star Matthew Broome on a five hour flight to Tenerife. Plus she joins the group chat to answer your questions. Alright then, fancy a chat?  Watch ‘Your Fault: London' on Prime Video and stream Asha's new song ‘Come Down' now.

Tit-for-tat violence between Iran and the US erupted over the weekend as missiles and drones flew in both directions across the Strait of Hormuz. On today's episode of Iran: The Latest, we break down a dangerous weekend of military escalation that has left the fragile 60-day interim peace agreement hanging by a thread.Host Venetia Rainey is joined by Bahraini political analyst Ahmed Khuzaie to dissect Iran's widening campaign of violence and give the Gulf view on who should be allowed to control the vital Hormuz waterway. He explains why there is no trust in Tehran sticking to its side of any deal and how some Gulf states would like to see Donald Trump return to war - but a more decisive and better planned one. Plus, Israel and Lebanon have signed a peace deal too. But as fighting continues with Iranian proxy Hezbollah, is it even worth the paper it's written on?HighlightsUS hammers Iran after Strait of Hormuz shipping attacksWhy some Gulf states would like to see Donald Trump return to warCONTRIBUTORS:Venetia Rainey, co-host and executive producer @venetiaraineyAhmed Khuzaie, Bahraini analyst @AhmedAlkhuzaieWATCH US ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJnf_DDTfIVAif-vifC6F2aoPB8GIw6dkCONTENT REFERENCED:Trump's flimsy Iran deal comes back to haunt himhttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/06/29/trumps-flimsy-iran-deal-comes-back-haunt-him/Iran and US agree to halt attackshttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/06/28/iran-missile-strikes-new-hormuz-demand-bahrain-kuwait-trump/Israel agrees to partial Lebanon withdrawalhttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/06/26/israel-agrees-to-partial-lebanon-withdrawal/Producer: Max Bower Executive Producers: Venetia Rainey & Louisa Wells► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

In this episode, we're talking with Denise Parkes of The Crafty DIYer. Denise and I know each other well. She's a member of Launch Your Box, Scale Your Box, and my Elevate Mastermind. As one of my Mastermind Ladies, I get to see Denise in person 3 times a year! Her strength and the story of the last year in her business inspire me and the other members of our Mastermind. It will inspire you, too.  Denise is an artist and a crafter. She is passionate about teaching others to enjoy crafting. Denise serves mainly women over the age of 60 and, by going LIVE six days a week for a long time, had built up a devoted following.  When Denise learned about me and my annual Subscription Box Week, she joined right away. During that week, Denise got to know me and my teaching style as well as what she could expect inside Launch Your Box. Denise was convinced a subscription box was the right next step for her. She actually launched during Subscription Box Week (remember she already had a large audience) and got 120 subscribers!  Denise's subscription box grew quickly and soon she needed to rent warehouse space to handle inventory and fulfillment. But all was not well inside Denise's business. Denise and her business reside in Canada where shipping costs are prohibitive. She simply couldn't afford to ship to her largely US based subscribers, or even those in her own country. Shipping costs were eating up all of her profits.  Denise was also dealing with health issues and found herself stressed and unhappy. Her business in its current form was no longer serving her. She knew she still needed to make an income, but couldn't go on as she was.   But Denise is someone who gets back up and figures things out. And during our September 2023 Mastermind Retreat, she did just that. There is power in being in a room with other smart, like-minded businesswomen who want the best for you.  Denise realized the way forward was with printables – no shipping required! She'd had a super successful printable lead magnet in place to grow her list and further proved the viability of her idea by selling one-off printables. When she was able to get out of her warehouse lease, Denise felt able to start from scratch again… even though doing so was scary.  Starting from scratch for Denise meant “doing everything Sarah teaches.”  Building her list Driving traffic to her website Putting effective lead magnets out there  The Digital Print Clubhouse launch was a big success – 150 subscribers big. And it has continued to grow. Denise now has more than 400 subscribers and celebrated hitting 6-figures only 10 months after making this major pivot.  So what's different now?  Less stress More joy  Nothing to pack and ship More time and energy to create  Denise talks about the importance of being around women who support and understand her – like the ones found inside Launch Your Box. She also reminds us of the importance of not worrying about what anyone else thinks and resisting the urge to compare yourself to anyone else.  Pivoting was necessary for Denise's business to survive. And now she's not only surviving, she's thriving… and celebrating hitting six-figures in less than a year!  Join me for this episode as Denise and I talk about realizing when it's time to pivot, working through the fear, and coming out stronger… oh, and reaching six-figures in revenue in less than a year!  Find and follow Denise:  ⁠Crafty DIYer on Facebook⁠  ⁠Crafty DIYer on Instagram⁠ ⁠Crafty DIYer Website⁠ Join me in all the places:   ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠Launch Your Box with Sarah Website⁠  Are you ready for ⁠Launch Your Box⁠?
