Thank you to our sponsors, Mantle!On this episode of Bits + Bips, hosts Ram Ahluwalia, Austin Campbell, and Chris Perkins are joined by Elisabeth Kirby, Head of Market Structure at Tradeweb, for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of crypto markets — and who will control them. They unpack why US market structure legislation stalled, how the SEC's enforcement-first approach shaped the last cycle, and what it signals that JPMorgan, BlackRock, and others are moving forward with tokenization. The group debates whether Ethereum's institutional edge is durable, whether Canton can scale beyond early adopters, and why Solana's “decentralized Nasdaq” vision still faces hard questions. The episode closes with a sober look at macro conditions, risk appetite, and why crypto may be stuck waiting, even as the long-term institutional thesis quietly strengthens.

Can AI catch the errors that humans physically can't?In this episode, we welcome back Aakash Prasad (CEO) and Shuangling Yin (CTO) of InspectMind.ai. Since our last conversation, they've made a massive pivot upstream—moving from documenting field issues to preventing them entirely before ground is broken.We dive into their new "AI Checker Agent," a tool that cross-references thousands of drawing sheets, specs, and code requirements to find logic gaps that cost millions. Aakash shares a case study where the agent caught a material mismatch that would have cost a contractor $2M in rework, and Shuangling breaks down why "chatbots" aren't enough for construction—you need agents that execute complex workflows on your behalf.In this episode, we cover:The Pivot: How a job site visit in Long Island changed the company's entire direction.The "Impossible" Standard: Why checking architectural drawings against structural plans is nearly impossible for humans at scale.Agents vs. Chatbots: Why the industry needs "hair on fire" solutions, not just cool tech.Trust & Verification: How their AI cites every claim so engineers can verify, not just trust.Links:Check out InspectMind: www.inspectmind.aiConnect with Aakash and Shuangling on LinkedIn.

I'm so happy to return to the roots of the podcast by talking REQUIEM FOR A SOLDIER with filmmaker Jeremy Musher, currently crowdfunding on Seed & Spark. It is the story of a "Vietnam veteran who in his last weeks of service, found a Vietnamese soldier's diary, and 56 years later returned it to the soldier's family." We talk war films, fatherhood and filmmaking, and his sweeping vision for a topic that doesn't get as much love as it should: Vietnam veterans. And this film has the added pleasure of showing the Vietnamese perspective.Let's get REQUIEM over the line. Happy holidays.In this episode, Jeremy and I discuss:the crowdfunding video and how he describes REQUIEM FOR A SOLDIER;what defines a good war film;why REQUIEM is a documentary rather than a narrative project;why they decided to crowdfund the film and use Seed & Spark specifically;the landscape for grants right now;the 60 day length of their campaign versus shorter options;the visual style he brings to documentary filmmaking and why they are weaving animation into the story;what he wishes existed for parents and fathers on film sets;the next few months for the film.Jeremy's Indie Film Highlights: THE ZONE OF INTEREST (2023) dir. by Jonathan Glazer; LITTLE DEATH (2024) dir. by Jack BegertMemorable Quotes:"The interview we did with him to shoot this kind of teaser was a seven hour interview, and Peter just has story after story.""It is the story of a Vietnam veteran who in his last weeks of service, found a Vietnamese soldier's diary, and 56 years later returned it to the soldier's family.""I feel like financing a film is harder than actually making the film."About one of the subjects of the documentary: "He struggled with a lot. He struggled with PTSD. He was an alcoholic, he was homeless, divorced arrested, and never lost the diary.""I've never done a crowdfunding campaign before and I've always pushed it off until I found a project that I really cared about.""[Animation] works so well for war...because I think that war is probably one of those things that you can't really understand unless you've lived through it and as somebody who hasn't lived through it, it's hard to ever fully understand it. I think love is honestly on that same spectrum.""It is a really hard industry...to have kids in, be a filmmaker and to have kids in our industry. You get locked in to staying local. And I think there's a reason, Terrence Malick took 20 years off of being a filmmaker so he could watch his, so he could actually raise his children."Links:Donate To REQUIEM FOR A SOLDIERFollow REQUIEM On InstagramFollow Jeremy On InstagramSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content
Send us a textListen…Brimstone is here. Are we obsessed with the Fae & Alchemy series by Callie Hart? GUILTY. AS. CHARGED. Not to give anything away (including our spoiler free star and spice ratings) but we think it's safe to say that there's nothing better than Kingfisher in our eyes and ears, Onyx the perfect animal sidekick companion, and a one horse scene starring none other than Carrion… our favorite scoundrel. Take a deep dive into book two: Brimstone as we follow up our Quicksilver episode, and our interview with Callie Hart! We discuss how this book performed as a “middle book” in a series, if there are plot holes, unanswered questions, or theories we need to know more about as we anxiously anticipate book three! Was it chaotic like some middle books can be? Or do we feel satisfied with the ending it left us on? We have all of our favorite and least favorite parts, characters, tropes, quotes, and we even dive into the audiobook narration, our faves and fails of the week, and a very important smash or pass (for the official record).

Thunderstorms Extinguish Fires but Spark New Wildfire Risks: Colleague Jeremy Zakis describes spectacular thunderstorms moving from the Blue Mountains to the coast, characterized by intense lightning and heavy rain, noting that while recent downpours extinguished previous fires, fresh lightning strikes combined with forecast heat and wind create a renewed risk for dangerous wildfires in the coming weeks.
Historian Chrissie Senecal joined The Spark to explore how people throughout history have understood comets and meteors, especially long before modern science could explain what was happening in the sky. With the Geminid meteor shower lighting up December skies and holiday traditions top of mind, the conversation tied celestial events to seasonal stories, including legends surrounding the Star of Bethlehem. Senecal walked through what comets actually are, where they come from, and how ancient observers first recognized them as something different from stars or planets—often seeing them as omens or messages rather than natural objects. Cumberland County athletes rallied at Ace Pickleball Club in Enola, PA, pushing through a nonstop 48-hour pickleball match to break a world record—while each player competed for a different charity or cause. In this episode, we dive into the endurance, community spirit, and rising popularity of the sport.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Eric swings through three eras of Spider-Man and the three actors who defined them: Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland. This isn't a “who's best” debate. It's a character study — why Tobey still feels like the heart of Peter Parker, why Andrew's electric, grief-soaked Spider-Man lives in our ribs, and why Tom Holland's MCU Spidey might be the most complete journey we've seen so far. From Uncle Ben's unfinished conversation in the Raimi trilogy, to Gwen's haunting fall in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, to the lonely, sacrificial reset of No Way Home, Eric follows how each Spider-Man carries his own scars… and how their crossover feels less like fan service and more like destiny. Three Spider-Men. Three unfinished stories. One legacy that refuses to fade.

When your life looks successful on the outside but feels hollow on the inside, it's time to come back to yourself. If you've spent years proving your worth through achievement, you may be feeling the quiet cost of high performance: exhaustion, disconnection, and the sense that something essential is missing. Today, I'm inviting you to pause the constant push and reconnect with the part of you that's been buried under productivity and performance. Together, we explore the truth that your worth has never lived in your output. When you slow down enough to actually feel your life, presence becomes a source of power instead of something you postpone. You'll learn how to soften the pressure, listen to your body, and make room for joy, rest, creativity, and desire so you can reclaim the spark you've been missing. If you've been afraid that slowing down will set you back, let this be your reminder: presence doesn't derail your purpose; it sharpens it. What we explore: High achievement burnout and the silent sacrifices that come with it Why striving disconnects you from your inner world The truth about rest, self-worth, and productivity How to listen to your body and honor what you feel Small daily practices to reconnect with yourself The fears that keep high achievers stuck The shift that brings you back to your spark If you're ready to reconnect with what lights you up, join me for my free five-day challenge, Reignite Your Spark, at nancylevin.com/spark.

A fast, high-clarity breakdown of the Caribbean chessboard — and why Venezuela, Cuba, and Panama now sit at the center of a global power reset. Kerry Lutz maps out how Venezuela becomes the spark, Cuba the real prize, and Panama the strategic pivot point as China quietly expands influence and the U.S. recalibrates policy ahead of a new commodity supercycle. Kerry walks through how shifting alliances, failing media narratives, and a narrowing geopolitical window are setting up dramatic moves in energy, metals, and trade routes. From Trump's emerging doctrine to emergency oil stabilization, this briefing lays out why crude may calm while gold, silver, and copper prepare for their next surge. You'll hear why Cuba's vulnerability matters more than headlines suggest, how the Panama Canal factors into long-term U.S.–China friction, and where asymmetric opportunities may emerge — including overlooked plays in distressed Cuban debt. A sharp, 6-minute macro briefing for investors watching the next big shift in geopolitics, energy, and hard assets.
