It's Casual Friday on The Mattjority Report On today's program: RFK. Jr appears to have allegedly committed perjury when he testified before Congress that his trip to America Samoa had nothing to do with vaccines. A leaked correspondence with the America Samoa Government ahead of Kennedy's trip to the island mentions vaccines at least 8 times. Heather 'Digby' Parton joins Sam for a pretaped interview to recap the week's news. In the Fun Half: Matt is joined by RM Brown Rep Mike Lawler (R-NY) is asked what the GOP pitch on healthcare is heading into the midterms and his answer is to brag about how many people his party have successfully kicked off of Medicare and SNAP. Jesse Watters shares his plan for healthcare, which is just eat right, exercise and get a job. Rep. Josh Gottheimer - a Democrat - goes on CNN to campaign against fellow Democrat, Abdul El-Sayed and condemn Hasan Piker. As Dems trip sprint to every media outlet to scream about Hasan Piker and "antisemitism" on the GOP side there is an actual Nazi and KKK problem. Candidate for Senate in Georgia, Mike Collins, whose son-in-law is a known white supremacist influencer, has a staffer who posted pictures of him in a Klan robe. I'm sure that it's just two bad apples and has no bearing on Mike Collins' personal views. Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink calls Enes Kanter a "stupid piece of shit". Megan Rapinoe breaks down how Indiana Fever bench player Sophie Cunningham is in cahoots with the minds behind project 2025 which aims to eliminate Title IX. Enes Kanter continues his crusade to "defend women" by insulting Cameron Brink's body. Michael Knowles cries over Hasan singing the "I Am Charlie Kirk" song. All that and more.

In Episode 219 of the Equipping ELLs podcast, Beth Vaucher opens with something most professional development on co-teaching never acknowledges: the textbook version of co-teaching rarely matches the reality of ELL classrooms. No shared planning time. No clear role definition. Walking into lessons you did not design and trying to support students in real time. If you have been an ELL teacher for more than a few months, you already know this. Today's episode names it directly — and then gives you a practical, honest framework for making co-teaching work regardless of where you are starting from.Beth opens by naming the three things that make co-teaching feel hard. Role clarity — most ELL teachers who push in have never had an explicit conversation with the homeroom teacher about what their role actually is during instruction. Planning time — or the complete lack of it. Real co-teaching requires co-planning, but most ELL teachers are spread across five, six, or eight classrooms with zero shared planning time with any of those teachers. And different priorities — a fourth-grade science teacher's priority is fourth-grade science, and an ELL teacher's priority is language acquisition. Those goals support each other beautifully when aligned, but when no one has had the conversation about how they align, they feel like competing interests in the same room.The most important insight of the episode comes before the models: before thinking about co-teaching structures or lesson plans or instructional strategies, think about the relationship. The ELL teachers who build the most effective co-teaching partnerships are not the ones with the most resources or the most knowledge. They are the ones who showed up consistently, were easy to work with, made the homeroom teacher's job slightly easier, and over time became someone that teacher genuinely wanted in the classroom. One teacher. One relationship. One small thing you can offer. That is where it starts.Beth then introduces three realistic co-teaching models — not the official district training models, but the ones that actually operate in real schools with real constraints.The Resource Bridge is the model most ELL teachers are already in, whether or not they have named it. You are not in the room co-instructing, but you know what is being taught, you prepare one or two scaffolded supports — a sentence frame, a vocabulary visual, a graphic organizer from Scaffolds in a Snap — and you deliver them to the teacher at the start of the week. Imperfect co-teaching, but your students have a scaffold in their hands during instruction even when you are not there.The Parallel Partner puts you in the room but not co-instructing the whole class. The homeroom teacher leads the lesson and you work with your ELL students in a parallel structure — same content, same concept, same objective, different access point. This model requires almost no joint planning and immediately signals to the homeroom teacher that you are a specialist, not an aide.The Active Partnership is what the training describes — co-planned, co-taught, each teacher taking a role and a group. But Beth is clear: you do not get here by demanding it. You earn it through consistency in Models 1 and 2. When a homeroom teacher has seen that working with you makes their classroom better, they invite the partnership.The one practical tool that works across all three models: walk into any classroom this week with one page in your hand — one scaffold for whatever that class is teaching. Say to the teacher: I made this for my ELL students. Can I leave a few copies for any students who might benefit? That single action demonstrates expertise, makes your presence purposeful, gives the teacher something useful without asking anything of them, and puts scaffolded support in your students' hands regardless of how the lesson goes.Beth also provides specific conversation starters that build the co-teaching relationship without creating resistance — not "I need us to co-plan" but "I noticed your students are working on explaining their thinking. I have something that might help. Can I bring it tomorrow?"The episode closes with an honest word for teachers for whom co-teaching is simply not happening — no push-in time, unresponsive colleagues. You can still be a bridge. Pre-teach in pull-out the vocabulary your students will need for the science lesson that afternoon. Practice the language function they will need for the social studies task this week. That bridge is invisible to the homeroom teacher but profoundly visible to your students.FREE TRIAL: equippingells.com/trial — Scaffolds in a Snap, sentence frames, vocabulary organizers, all the resources that make you the go-to person in your building.
One summer in the late 1990s, a weeklong camping trip brought Aaron face-to-face with the kind of teenage connection that makes the rest of the world disappear. In this 7 Minute Story, he looks back on summer love, an unanswered letter, and the small regret he carried with him for decades. *Featuring the song I.O.U by Jeff and His Army of No One
In this episode, hosts Frank La Vigne and Andy Leonard sit down with Lawrence Snapp, CEO and board member of TrustScale, an innovative AI trust and verification platform. Together, they explore the crucial topic of trust in artificial intelligence—how hallucinations from AI models can spiral out of control and why it's essential to catch them early. Lawrence Snapp pulls back the curtain on TrustScale's journey from early AI and translation work in the 1980s and call center solutions, to its modern-day mission: empowering humans to verify and trust AI outputs with products like Argus. You'll hear about real-world impacts in fields like healthcare, legal, and research, learn how TrustScale's deterministic engine outpaces humans in hallucination detection, and dive into debates around truth, trustworthiness, and the future of configuring AI values. Whether you're an industry veteran or just curious about how we build trustworthy AI, this episode is packed with insights on technology, responsibility, and the power of rigorous engineering.LinksWatch on YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjM7lxn3Qk8Lawrence on LinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawrence-snapp-408339/Time Stamps00:00 Funny AI-generated story03:37 Company's Evolution from Translation to AI07:32 Developing the TrustScale engine11:35 Using AI for collaboration13:39 Building a trust scoring system18:12 Working at BASF and AI testing19:32 New developments in voice assistants23:41 Trust scale and company confidence26:13 AI mishap in medical drama32:48 Overcoming AI recency and cost challenges36:54 AI's impact on career growth38:50 Interviewing and developing talent43:31 Starting with Polaroids and AI goals46:54 Discussing TrustScale and AI interactions50:42 Empowering AI customization for users51:45 AI ethics discussion in Los Altos

Major cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – or SNAP – are taking effect as a result of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that President Donald Trump signed into law last year, with an estimated 650,000 Californians are at risk of losing food assistance benefits. Food banks in the Bay Area, which have been serving people at historic rates since the pandemic, are now bracing for impact. Links: Callout: Share your story about San Francisco's rental market!

A potential food crisis is brewing in Arizona that could be a warning to other states as changes to the Supplemental Food Assistance Program start to take effect. Federal funding cuts and major changes to state administration of SNAP have caused enrollment in that state to drop by half. As many as 200,000 children who once received SNAP benefits now go without. Many of those who were dropped are eligible, even with new work requirements, but they can't get through the state's restructured system. State officials estimate one in three Navajo Nation residents receive SNAP benefits. Native Americans in general are much more likely to rely on SNAP than the general population. Arizona has been aggressive in initiating SNAP changes. Those same changes in other states are expected to start rolling out after the midterm elections. We'll find out what's different — and what's the same — in Arizona when it comes to the looming SNAP changes.

The Iñupiaq village of Shungnak in Northwest Alaska likely has the questionable distinction of having the most expensive gasoline in the United States. The Alaska Beacon reports that the price climbed to $26.82 a gallon last week — more than six times the national average of $4.10 a gallon for regular unleaded gasoline. Glenda Douglas, who manages the village store, posted a photo of the price she paid for gas on Facebook. People questioned whether it was real. “It's very much real.” As a Native corporation shareholder, Douglas received a hefty discount, but still paid more than $107 for five gallons of gas. Shungnak is a remote community on the Kobuk River east of Kotzebue. There are only three ways to reach the village: by snowmachine in the winter, boat in the summer, or by air. Flying is the only reliable year-round transportation. This summer, low water levels disrupted barge deliveries, which forced fuel to be flown in. Those transportation costs came on top of already high prices due to the conflict with Iran. Douglas said gas had to be flown in twice to Shungnak this summer, when barges could not get in. She says the spike comes as subsistence hunters prepare for their fall hunts – and need gas to harvest food for their families. Chief Paul Memorial School in Kipnuk, Alaska. (Courtesy Lower Kuskokwim School District) With classes underway in schools across the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, the Lower Kuskokwim School District has announced that it will not be re-opening schools in the two communities hit hardest by ex-typhoon Halong last October. KYUK's Evan Erickson has more. In a letter to families sent following the board’s regular meeting last week, the district said the Chief Paul Memorial School in Kipnuk and the Kwigillingok School will not reopen until critical infrastructure and facility repairs are completed. “We owe your children a school that is safe and fully ready before we ask them to walk back through the doors.” In Kipnuk, where around 90% of structures were damaged or destroyed, the school was one of the few buildings to come through ex-typhoon Halong relatively unscathed. It has since served as a base for locals and outside contractors working to rebuild the community. According to Native Village of Kipnuk President Daniel Paul, around 190 people were in the community as of Monday, a mix of people practicing subsistence and shoring up infrastructure. Nearly 1,000 people lived in Kipnuk prior to its near-total evacuation in the days following the storm. In the case of the Kwigillingok School, the letter to families also cites a “no go home” order put in place by the tribe's governing body that remains in effect. A representative from the Native Village of Kwigillingok did not respond to a request for comment about the status of the order for this story. Nearly all of the 400 residents of Kwigillingok were airlifted to Bethel after Halong damaged or destroyed an estimated 35% of structures. As of Tuesday, around 40 people remained in the community, according to the tribe. LKSD Superintendent Jason Hlasny said by email on Tuesday that the district had enrolled 60 students from Kipnuk and 55 students from Kwigillingok in schools in the district as of last week. The district says it is exploring online and distance learning opportunities for any K-8 students currently residing in the communities. For high school students, the district says enrollment is available through the district's existing online learning academy and individual online learning options. An Anchorage School District spokesperson said on Tuesday that about 145 students from Kipnuk and Kwigillingok are currently enrolled in Anchorage schools. Both communities' tribal members have voted to relocate since the storm. LKSD says it plans to share an update on the status of the Kipnuk and Kwigillingok schools by November 1.

One of life's greatest lessons is apparently not being taught anymore. Actions have consequences. America's experiment with DEI and victimology has made a mess of accountability, as dozens of states that sued the Trump administration to stop USPS from sending ballots to only registered voters lose at the Supreme Court. Doing anything and everything that they can to cheat is so obvious when you compare the blue states refusing to share SNAP data with USGA and the blue states refusing to share their voter rolls with the DOJ. They are the exact same states.

Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick break down the Bucs' 16-15 preseason win over Kansas City, where Baker Mayfield's night was cut short behind a patchwork offensive line missing three of its top four tackles, but the starting defense — even without Vita Vea — flashed real teeth, with Rueben Bain Jr. terrorizing the pocket and Anthony Nelson turning in a monster first half. Once again it was Jalon Daniels rallying the offense late, and Rick and Steve debate whether the rookie has already played his way onto the 53-man roster and turned the Bucs into an unlikely three-quarterback team. They also dig into the wave of players testing a new court ruling that allows a return to college eligibility — Jack Pyburn's situation, plus the wild story of the Browns releasing tight ends who got calls from Lane Kiffin — and preview this week's joint practices with Liam Cohen's Jaguars in Jacksonville.On the Rays, Nick Martinez was brilliant — six innings, one hit — in a 3-1 win over Baltimore that snapped a three-game skid and avoided a fourth straight series loss to the Orioles. Rick and Steve talk about what's behind the second-half stumble in the pitching staff, and why holding onto the AL East lead down the stretch matters as much for the bye it could buy as anything else.

¿Sientes que el dinero ya no alcanza? No estás solo. En este episodio de Échale con José Quintero, hablamos de por qué cada vez más personas están batallando para pagar la despensa, la situación de Walmart y sus promesas de bajar precios, los cambios en la ayuda de alimentos SNAP y, lo más importante, cómo puedes empezar a invertir aunque solo tengas $50 al mes. Mucha gente piensa que invertir es solo para personas con mucho dinero. La realidad es que empezar con poquito, ser constante y dejar que el tiempo haga su trabajo puede ser más poderoso de lo que imaginas. También hablamos de:
My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. We'll see about that. I really do. Hope it's somebody we want to see. But you know what? Son of a gun. Shout out to my lips. Caroline Leavitt has left it. You get that play on words. Who's going to replace her? She's really good. She's one of the best press secretaries ever. Maybe the best in modern history, to be honest with you. But who's gonna replace her? I think they need a dude now. Yeah. I mean, Carolyn Leavitt, you know, she's like Nancy Lieberman. She could almost get into the NBA. But I think when you have a guy, think about like a Scott Jennings, he's good. Or Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller probably wouldn't be as good because Stephen is really brash and he's got this way of talking about things where he's, and then the president said, so it's kind of like shouting at you. Scott Jennings is more reserved. I would, between the two, I'd probably take Scott Jennings. You guys would, yeah, my producers agree. So Scott Jennings, he'd be a good pick. Who else? I mean, there's some good people out there. And Scott Jennings was a Mitch McConnell guy. So you almost want more rhinos to get inside and see how things work with a real presidency versus some of these institutional guys, these establishment people. I don't, no disrespect, but they just don't, they don't hack, they don't know how to fight. Glad you guys are with me. We talked about being woke in the previous hour and how the left is waking up from woke. Hey, I've got some good news. They're going to probably go after these FBIs. They had 14 informants on Biden corruption. They ran a secret disinformation campaign. They'll probably be firing those guys. Here's another one. Here's a stat, something that should make you feel good. Food stamp enrollment cratered 5.3 million under President Trump. 5.3 million less people getting snapped. So figuring they get, I don't know what they get. What do they get? A few $100 a month? They got 1000 bucks a month for food, which would be a lot, right? That's 5.3 billion. So do the math, cut it in half, whatever it may be. If they get $500 a month from SNAP, I don't know. I just know this. I'd like to have a SNAP card. Kevin, wouldn't you be embarrassed? No, why would I be embarrassed? I'd be getting my money back. I've got thousands of dollars. in the government that I gave back. I want my money back. And then I look at what they spend it on, shoot, I want triple my money back. I don't know about you guys. Anyway, Arizona, the biggest drop, 54.8% decrease in SNAP. That's how, think about that. That's gotta be some illegals. Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it's easy to see why people enjoy Kevin's show so much. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Picture the last real conflict you were in. Chest tight, face hot, some part of you already gone.Did you snap? Shut down? Cave and agree to something you didn't mean?Whatever you did, it probably wasn't how you'd have told a friend to handle it. Some other version of you took the wheel.Here's the real reason: that version isn't a character flaw. She's a pattern, and she has a signature move the second things get tense.This week I break down what happens in your body in the first two seconds of a conflict. Spoiler: your reaction fires before your wisdom can get a word in.Then I run all five Capacity Patterns through conflict. The one who leaves, the one who caves, the one who digs in, the one who dominates, and the one who goes cold and correct.If you've ever felt hijacked in a hard conversation and wondered why you can't just stay calm, this one names exactly what's happening. And why understanding it isn't quite enough to stop it.What You'll Learn:Why you snap, shut down, or cave the moment conflict starts (and why it's not a willpower problem)What happens in your brain in the first 74 milliseconds of a conflictThe five distinct ways people handle conflictThe reason knowing your reaction won't, by itself, stop you from repeating it--
Charlie, Ted, and Rony open on Higgsfield's $400 million raise at a $5.4 billion valuation, and the uncomfortable gap between its strong revenue and a wave of user complaints about its terms of service (Charlie discloses he's a Higgsfield creative partner). From there: Snap's $2,195 Specs launch on September 16th, and Evan Spiegel's candid admission that he doesn't expect them to sell well, which Rony compares to Jensen Huang's decade-plus of staying the course before Nvidia's breakout. The group also digs into Epic Games quietly offloading Sketchfab and ArtStation to the much smaller KitBash, and a wide-ranging debate on AI filmmaking sparked by a Chatham House Rules event with Google and the American Film Institute, including Rony's memorable comparison of AI-native filmmakers to Skrillex versus the full-orchestra, Abbey-Road approach of traditional Hollywood.Barmak Heshmat, founder and CEO of Brelyon, joins to make the case for immersive displays that skip the headset entirely. A former head of optics at the AR company Meta (not Facebook) and MIT computational imaging researcher, Barmak explains Brelyon's curved monitor, which uses monocular depth to create what he calls "a window to the virtual world" you look through rather than wear. The conversation covers why enterprise, not consumer, is where the technology is scaling first, a published study with Toyota on video pass-through windshields that could eliminate car glass entirely, and Barmak's longer-term vision for light field displays as the natural evolution beyond stereoscopic 3D.Key Moments: [03:35] Higgsfield's $400M raise and the backlash over its terms of service [07:35] Snap's $2,195 Specs and the Jensen Huang long-game comparison [11:35] Epic Games sheds Sketchfab and ArtStation to KitBash [17:35] Inside a Chatham House Rules AI filmmaking summit with Google and AFI [21:35] The Skrillex vs. Beatles theory of AI-native filmmaking [28:35] Barmak Heshmat joins to tell us about building the Brelyon's headset-less display [33:35] How monocular depth creates a "window to the virtual world" [46:35] A published study with Toyota on video pass-through windshields [53:35] The future: light field displays and headsets as an accessory Hosted on Acast.

The stated mission had all the ambition—and word count—you would expect from a nineteenth-century professional organization: “the advancement of the science of jurisprudence, the promotion of the administration of justice, and a uniformity of legislation throughout the country.”James Overton Broadhead, a Missouri lawyer, became the ABA's first president. And the idea apparently had some appeal. Within a year, the organization had grown from its original 75 members to nearly 300.It is worth remembering just how different the legal profession looked at the time. There were few meaningful licensing standards, legal education varied enormously from one place to another, and there was nothing resembling a national voice for lawyers. “The bar,” such as it was, was largely a collection of state and local institutions operating under their own rules and traditions.The ABA helped change that.Over the next century, it became one of the principal forces behind the professionalization of American law. It developed model ethics standards, eventually producing what became the Model Rules of Professional Conduct that form the basis for lawyer regulation in most states. It became enormously influential in law-school accreditation. And for decades, its assessments of federal judicial nominees carried substantial weight in Washington.In other words, the ABA became something close to an institutional center of gravity for a profession that, by design, does not really have one. Whether that has always been a good thing is a separate question—and there is certainly no shortage of lawyers willing to debate it.But the date is particularly interesting this year because the ABA is once again squarely in the headlines.Just this week, we covered the organization's lawsuit challenging the administration's executive orders targeting major law firms. The ABA's argument, at bottom, is that the government is attempting to use its power to punish lawyers and firms for representing clients or causes the administration dislikes—and, in doing so, pressure the broader legal profession into falling in line.There is a rather striking symmetry to it.An organization founded nearly 150 years ago in part to promote “the administration of justice” now finds itself in court arguing that the independence of the lawyers responsible for administering that system is itself under threat.One can agree or disagree with the ABA's politics—and plenty of people do. But the principle underlying its founding is harder to dismiss. A legal profession capable of governing itself, enforcing its own standards, and, when necessary, telling political power “no” is not merely a professional convenience. It is part of the architecture of the rule of law.Of course, independence is only valuable if lawyers actually use it. Which brings us neatly back to today's opening quote from Charles Hamilton Houston: what lawyers choose to do with the power and independence their profession gives them matters enormously.Nearly 150 years after those 75 lawyers met in Saratoga Springs, that question has hardly become less relevant.Another key test case in the massive social-media litigation has evaporated: a New Jersey teenager has voluntarily dropped her lawsuit against Meta, Google, and Snap, just weeks before it was set for trial in October. The 15-year-old, identified in court records only by her initials, had alleged that the companies' platforms fueled addiction, depression, and self-harm. Notably, her lawyer said she received no payment to walk away—she simply wanted, in the attorney's words, to “resume her life.” TikTok had earlier settled her claims separately. If you've been following along, this should sound familiar: back in July, we covered a different teen plaintiff, in a bellwether case against Meta, dropping his claims days before trial. Now it's happened again. Here's why it matters strategically. These are “bellwether” cases—representative individual lawsuits, plucked from a pool of thousands, tried first so both sides can gauge how juries will react and calibrate settlement value. When a marquee bellwether disappears right before trial, it removes a data point everyone was watching. And the reason this one vanished is worth sitting with: not a secret settlement, but a teenager deciding she didn't want to spend her life as the face of a landmark lawsuit, subjected to discovery into her mental health and cross-examination about her worst moments. The significance is a quiet illustration of a real tension in mass litigation—the individual plaintiffs who anchor these cases are often young and vulnerable, and the litigation itself exacts a toll that can lead them to walk away. Meanwhile, the states' cases, like the 29-state trial underway in California, march on without that problem, because a state attorney general doesn't have a childhood to protect. US teen drops lawsuit against Meta, Google, Snap ahead of trial | ReutersBenzinga · WJLAThe Justice Department is seeking to question the FBI officials who carried out the 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago—a striking move that turns the machinery of investigation around to point at the investigators. According to sources, the requests are coming from a team working under Joe diGenova, a Trump ally now overseeing a Florida-based probe, and the investigation is reportedly built on the theory that Trump was the victim of a criminal conspiracy against his rights. Let's recall the facts, because they matter. The 2022 search was authorized by a federal judge and turned up more than 100 classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, including highly sensitive national-security records. That led to charges against Trump and two associates for retaining classified material and obstruction. The case never reached a jury on the merits—it was dismissed after a judge concluded the special counsel, Jack Smith, had been unlawfully appointed, and the DOJ dropped its appeal after Trump won the 2024 election. So here's the inversion: agents who executed a lawful, court-approved search warrant, and found exactly the classified documents the warrant anticipated, are now themselves the subjects of scrutiny, under a theory that pursuing Trump was itself a crime against him. The significance is about the independence of law enforcement and the chilling effect of retribution. When agents who followed a valid warrant can be investigated years later for having done so—by a team led by a political ally of the person they investigated—it sends a message to every FBI agent and prosecutor about the personal risk of investigating the powerful. It's the same thread we pulled on yesterday with the Comey prosecution: the concern that federal law-enforcement power is being turned to punish the president's perceived enemies rather than to pursue crime. DOJ seeks to question FBI officials tied to search of Trump Mar-a-Lago estate, sources say | ReutersWashington Post · Yahoo NewsAnd finally, a fight is heating up that will help define who owns the raw material of the AI era: your voice. In federal court in Illinois, a group of journalists, podcasters, voice actors, and audiobook narrators are suing a who's-who of tech—Apple, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, Samsung, Alphabet, Adobe, and the AI voice company ElevenLabs—alleging the companies harvested their “voiceprints” from publicly available audio recordings and used them to train commercial AI voice models without consent. This week, the two sides squared off over the companies' motions to dismiss. The legal engine here is a powerful Illinois statute called BIPA, the Biometric Information Privacy Act—the same law that produced a $650 million settlement from Facebook over face-tagging. BIPA treats biometric identifiers, including voiceprints, as something a company can't collect or use without informed consent, and it comes with statutory damages and a private right of action, which makes it a serious threat. The core dispute is about harm. The tech companies argue the plaintiffs can't point to any concrete injury—no cloned voice showed up in a product they can identify—so there's nothing to sue over. The plaintiffs counter that the harvesting itself is the harm: BIPA was designed to stop the nonconsensual capture of your biometric identity in the first place, whether or not it later surfaces in a product. The significance is that this is a preview of the defining legal question of AI training: the models are built on enormous quantities of human-created data—our voices, our writing, our faces—often scraped without asking, and the law is scrambling to decide whether that scraping is a harm in itself. Old privacy statutes like BIPA are becoming the sharpest tools plaintiffs have, and how these motions come out will shape whether the people whose voices train the machines have any say at all.

Bipul Sinha failed his first shot at India's hardest entrance exam. His father told him to drop out and try again — the only other option was selling tobacco on a street corner.Bipul is the co-founder, CEO and Chairman of Rubrik, the cybersecurity and data management company he took public on the NYSE in April 2024. Before Rubrik, he spent four years as a partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners, where he was a founding investor and board member of Nutanix and part of the team behind early bets on AppDynamics and Snap. Before venture, he was an engineer at Oracle, American Megatrends and IBM.In this episode of Truth Works (Part 1), he joins Jessica Neal and guest co-host Peter Clarke to trace the full arc: growing up poor in India, the exam he failed once and passed the second time, arriving in America with almost nothing, and the first 45 days at Rubrik when he couldn't hire a single person.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━THE ORIGIN STORYBipul grew up in a tier-4 city in India and wasn't a strong student. His father pulled him out of the local track and told him to prepare at home for the IIT entrance exam instead, an exam with roughly a 1% acceptance rate. He failed it once, passed it the second time, and studied electrical engineering at IIT Kharagpur. He took a job at Tata IBM to support his family, then moved to Atlanta for a hardware engineering role at American Megatrends before landing in Silicon Valley in 1999, at the height of the dot-com boom, where he and his wife paid $1,000 a month to live in a garage apartment.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━FROM INVESTOR TO FOUNDERAfter seven years at Oracle, Bipul moved into venture capital at Blumberg Capital, then spent four years at Lightspeed under Ravi Mhatre, where he backed Nutanix, AppDynamics and Snap. He explains the theory that pushed him from investing to founding: investors operate from a "state of intellect," founders from a "state of will." He left to start what became Rubrik in 2014, sat through 45 days with zero hires, and camped outside the Google and YouTube offices with a pitch deck until he landed his first four.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━TOPICS COVERED→ Failing India's hardest entrance exam, then passing it the second time→ Moving to Silicon Valley in 1999 and paying $1,000 a month to live in a garage→ Leaving Oracle for venture capital, and the $10M check Lightspeed wrote off a slide deck→ Early investing wins: Nutanix, AppDynamics, Snap→ The "state of intellect vs. state of will" theory of investors vs. founders→ Naming Rubrik after almost launching under a different name entirely→ 45 days with zero hires, and the pitch deck that turned it around→ Why the old world of cybersecurity is dead in the age of AI━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Find Bipul: rubrik.com | LinkedIn: Bipul SinhaTruth Works is hosted by Jessica Neal & Peter Clarke. Part 2 of this conversation coming soon.
Senior year hits different, and we open with that mix of pride, dread, and the weird reality that every milestone becomes the “last first.” From there, we get into the political mechanics that actually decide outcomes, starting with a blunt point: a quiet governor race is not a good sign for the challenger. We talk New Mexico politics, what “quiet” really means (or does not mean), and why fundraising, paid media, and real voter contact matter more than online noise. Then we dig into one of the most thought-provoking ideas we have heard in a while: why college campuses can make socialism feel practical. Using a Wall Street Journal argument, we break down the “bundled economy” of modern universities, the amenities arms race, and how invisible price signals shape expectations. When graduates leave that self-contained world, adulthood can feel less like freedom and more like a wall of explicit costs, and that sticker shock can fuel political anger fast. We also call out how a one-sided news story can mislead without technically lying, using SNAP benefits as the example. Eligibility rules, work requirements, and administrative error rates are not optional details if we want honest policy debate. We wrap by zooming out to the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential landscape: the economy, Democratic infighting between mainstream leaders and DSA-style candidates, and why Marco Rubio's “moment” may be a now-or-never decision with a Chris Christie-sized warning attached.

In late July, just two days before the first of the month, a line of Oregonians stood waiting for free food. At the Dallas food bank in the Willamette Valley countryside, the hunger crisis gripping Oregon was on full display. Alexis Arechiga, 28, struggles to afford snacks for church and sporting events with her two kids. Corrina Campbell, 32, visits the food bank twice a week, and says feeding her two kids means that on some nights she goes to sleep hungry. The high cost of groceries and the federal government’s cuts to SNAP benefits have left more Oregonians struggling to afford food. Food assistance programs like food banks are stretched thin trying to meet the growing demand for help. “Usually it’s pretty full,” said food bank manager Eddie Nelson as she opened a freezer. “But as you can tell our freezers are getting empty.” In this week’s episode, Evergreen producer Mía Estrada and reporter Bryce Dole spend about 24 hours in Dallas. They bring us along for one day at free, local food programs in rural Oregon. For more Evergreen episodes and to share your voice with us, visit our showpage.

Economist Matt Maltzbarger outlines how elevated nitrogen costs and a forecasted Super El Niño are influencing the 2027 corn and soybean crop rotation strategies for producers. In industry news, Tyson Foods announced the closure of its Joslin, Illinois, meat packing plant due to excess capacity and tight cattle supplies, while Senate Agriculture Committee progress on the farm bill remains stalled over SNAP penalty disputes. Field observations from Sherman Newlin on the western leg of the Pro Farmer Crop Tour indicate significant drought stress and reduced yield estimates for corn and soybeans in South Dakota. Concluding the broadcast, meteorologist Mark Russo notes an upcoming reprieve from heavy rains across the Eastern Corn Belt and forecasts a shift toward cooler, wetter conditions in Europe that may aid winter crop preparations.02:21 Ag Markets with Bob Maltzbarger, University of Missouri10:51 Tyson Foods Closes Joslin, IL Packing Plant14:09 Pro Farmer Crop Tour | South Dakota17:35 Ag Weather with Mark Russo, EverStream Analytics ★ Support this podcast ★

Last week I broke down the three foundational pillars of any great offer, and today, I'm following it up with the part most people dread: actually pitching the thing! In this episode, I walk you through my 11-step perfect pitch sequence, the exact framework that has been responsible for almost $110 million in sales in my business. This works everywhere. Webinar, live, email, automated funnel, the ingredients and the order never change. Let's get into it! Snap a screenshot of the episode playing on your device, post it to your Instagram Stories and tag us, @jameswedmore and @jenniwedmore. We'd love to hear what resonated with you the most from this episode and especially what you want covered in future ones. In this episode you'll hear: The PSP formula and how to use it as a cheat code to transition seamlessly into your pitch every single time Why you should be writing 60 headlines before you write a single word of your offer copy The power of addressing the biggest elephant in the room early in your pitch and exactly what happens when you ignore it instead Why your offer modules should each feel like their own standalone product worth the price of the whole thing The pricing story and the reason that leading with the price before you've built any context is the fastest way to make people think it's too expensive Why a longer refund window actually reduces refunds, and the one situation where I recommend having no refund policy at all The million-dollar bonus strategy: how to use your value-add section to dismantle the exact objections that would have stopped someone from buying How the "fast acting bonus" can be the difference between people buying now versus never Why 95% of all questions that come in after you make an offer are actually objections in disguise, and the way to respond that gets to the root belief underneath For full show notes and links, visit: www.mindyourbusinesspodcast.com/blog/842
