Today we had the distinct pleasure of hosting Mark Lashier, Chairman and CEO of Phillips 66. Mark joined Phillips 66 as President and COO in 2021 and assumed the CEO role in July 2022. Prior to that, he served as the President and CEO of Chevron Phillips Chemical Company (CPChem), where he held several senior leadership roles, including Executive Vice President of Olefins and Polyolefins, Senior Vice President of Specialties, Aromatics and Styrenics, and Vice President of Corporate Planning and Development. Mark began his career at Phillips Petroleum and holds a doctorate in Chemical Engineering. Beyond his leadership at Phillips 66, he serves on the Executive Committee of the American Petroleum Institute and is a Board Member of the Greater Houston Partnership and several other nonprofit organizations. Mike, Arjun and I were thrilled to host Mark for this Special Edition to discuss Phillips 66's recent performance, his strategic vision for the company, insights into today's energy landscape, and the ongoing debate with Elliott Management. In our discussion, Mark shares background on his career and transition to CEO, his early priority of addressing improvements in Phillip 66's refining segment, and the cultural transformation to re-instill pride and competitiveness amongst refiners, which involved engaging employees at all levels and investing in strategic capital projects to fix operational bottlenecks and improve reliability and earnings. We discuss Bob Pease's addition to the board, who was originally nominated through Elliott's engagement, and how he shifted from being skeptical to supportive of the company's strategy, execution, and focus on shareholder returns. We explore the history and structure of CPChem, the benefits of Phillips 66's integrated business model during times of volatility and potential downturns, and the company's industry-leading safety performance, which ties safety directly to employee compensation. Mark shares his perspective on why maintaining a diversified portfolio across refining, midstream, and chemicals is strategically and financially advantageous, as well as the optimization and regulatory advantages of an integrated structure. We touch on Phillips 66's strong ROCE versus peers, activist pressure to sell midstream assets for a higher multiple, growth across their midstream business, and broader global trends toward integration rather than asset breakups. Mark highlights the company's refining performance improvement, the rationale behind merging PSXP and DCP assets, efforts to attract generalist investors back to the energy sector by demonstrating consistent earnings, Phillips 66's philosophy of keeping assets “for sale every day” to ensure focus on shareholder value, and much more. We greatly appreciate Mark for sharing his candid insights into a complex and highly public debate. As you will hear, we reference a few items in the discussion. Phillip 66's Investor Relations presentation entitled “Delivering Value & Demonstrating Commitment,” released Monday, April 28, is linked here. Veriten's COBT episode featuring Doug Terreson is linked here. Thanks to Mark for joining us for an insightful discussion and thanks to you all for your friendship and support!

Today's podcast features Laurent Meuwley. Laurent is the Head Coach for sprints, hurdles, and relays for the Netherlands. A former Swiss national coach and European Athletics Coach of the Year, he's known for guiding world-class athletes like Femke Bol and Dutch relay teams, pioneering the “Flyers vs. Diesels” sprint-type analogy and his comprehensive approach to training. Often in sprinting and speed training education, we get a small piece of the equation based on our social media algorithms or our immediate training culture. To fully understand speed training, we must look at both speed and environmental coaching concepts that span cultures. On today's podcast, Laurent discusses speed building on the level of the weight room, overspeed, speed endurance, and individual training factors. Laurent also talks about building a relay-based culture and a powerful training environment, along with many more nuances of building elite sprinters.

And those are based on a test they do called the tensomeography test, where we check all the muscles individually and see how fast or slow they are, how strong or weak they are, how quickly they react, they can be activated or not." - Laurent Meuwly (13:14) "Because a lot of strength program are thought in terms of which muscles are specifically used for the movement. But we also have to think in which kind of muscle contraction, what kind of Muscle contraction is then used and for different muscle groups it's a different contraction. It might be concentric for some, eccentric for others, isometric for some muscles. So in the specific work this needs to be taken into account." - Laurent Meuwly (16:37) "If I take a hamstring exercise, when someone has struggled to activate the hamstrings quick enough, they might have an exercise where they are standing, laying on their shoulders up, one leg on the skateboard, the other leg in the air and they have to bring the skateboard back and forth under their butt as fast as possible." - Laurent Meuwly (22:07) "The propulsion phase is really important in running and especially in sprinting." - Laurent Meuwly (23:43) "The individualization in the gym is more to the way athletes are reacting in terms of hypertrophy. Some athletes would go a bit quicker away from max strength exercises, hypertrophy to be more in a velocity-based training, more in power than in strength development." - Laurent Meuwly (33:00) "I think in Europe we are using overspeed quite more than in the US at least in track and field, I would say every 10 to 14 days." - Laurent Meuwly (42:20) "A “flyer”, an athlete who is more speed based needs to be fast. And because speed is his or her strength, they also are going to recover from speed or even strength or whatever stimulates highly the nervous system quicker than athletes who are more endurance based and who are less talented for speed." - Laurent Meuwly

In this first episode of a two-episode interview, host David Mandell speaks with Cory Kleinschmidt, an industry veteran in the locum tenens space. Cory shares his journey into the field, which began unexpectedly in the late 1990s when he helped develop LocumTenens.com, a job board that played a significant role in the industry's growth. He later founded Locumpedia, a digital platform dedicated to locum tenens professionals, offering resources, job listings, and insights into the industry. Cory explains the concept of locum tenens, which allows physicians to work as temporary providers in various healthcare settings, providing them with flexibility, higher earnings, and work-life balance. He highlights how the industry has evolved from a necessary staffing solution to a strategic workforce model, driven by growing physician shortages and changing work preferences.  This first part of a two-episode interview also covers trends in locum tenens, including the increasing interest from younger physicians, the rising demand for specific specialties like neurology, cardiology, and psychiatry, and the impact of AI. Cory emphasizes that locum tenens is becoming an essential part of healthcare staffing, allowing doctors to explore different practice environments while mitigating burnout and financial stress.   Key Insights: Locum tenens, meaning "to hold the place," originated in the Catholic Church before transitioning into healthcare staffing. The industry has grown significantly, with more physicians, especially younger ones, choosing it for career flexibility and income potential. Locumpedia is a digital platform that provides a free, centralized resource for physicians and healthcare organizations. The No-BS Guide to Locum Tenens was created to offer straightforward, unbiased insights into locum work. See https://www.locumpedia.com/. Locum tenens physicians work as 1099 independent contractors, allowing them to take advantage of tax benefits and business deductions. The demand for locum tenens is increasing due to physician shortages, burnout, and changing work preferences. Specialties such as hospital medicine, neurology, cardiology, psychiatry, anesthesiology, and radiology are currently in high demand. AI is expected to impact radiology, but the combination of AI with skilled radiologists is seen as the future rather than full automation. More doctors are using locum tenens as a way to test different work environments before committing to full-time positions. Locum tenens is becoming an essential part of modern healthcare staffing, allowing hospitals to adapt to patient demand and financial constraints efficiently.

Many of us think of plastic surgery as a drastic, last-resort solution, but what if the secret to natural, long-lasting results isn't about doing more, but doing less?

**NOTICIAS ECONÓMICAS Y FINANCIERAS** ☕️ Este fin de semana, Rivian Automotive ($RIVN) solicitó un préstamo federal para respaldar la construcción de una nueva planta de vehículos eléctricos en Georgia, luego de una pausa en el proyecto debido a dificultades financieras. Se espera que la planta esté operativa para el tercer trimestre de 2027 y comience su producción completa en 2028, según Bloomberg News. El Departamento de Energía (DoE) afirmó que financiar el proyecto ayudaría a Rivian a llevar 400,000 vehículos eléctricos al mercado, lo que reduciría las emisiones nacionales de contaminantes y gases de efecto invernadero. El monto del préstamo no fue revelado y el DoE aún no ha decidido si lo concederá. El inversor activista Starboard Value ha adquirido una participación de aproximadamente $1B en Pfizer ($PFE) y está presionando para que la empresa realice cambios estratégicos. Según un informe del Wall Street Journal, Starboard ha contactado a dos exejecutivos de Pfizer, Ian Read y Frank D'Amelio, quienes han mostrado interés en apoyar la campaña activista. Aunque aún no se conocen los detalles específicos de las interacciones entre Starboard y Pfizer, la compañía tiene una capitalización de mercado de $162 Billones, y sus acciones han caído un 14% en el último año. Pfizer presentará sus resultados del tercer trimestre el 29 de octubre. $BP ha decidido reducir su enfoque en la transición energética y abandonará su ambicioso objetivo de reducir la producción de petróleo y gas en un 40% para 2030, según fuentes citadas por Reuters. En lugar de disminuir, BP planea aumentar su producción y está invirtiendo en nuevos proyectos en Irak, Kuwait y el Golfo de México, además de evaluar adquisiciones en la cuenca del Pérmico. Esta decisión representa un giro importante en su estrategia, priorizando la rentabilidad ante las crecientes preocupaciones por los altos costos en proyectos de energía limpia. Otros gigantes del sector, como Shell, también han seguido un camino similar, reduciendo inversiones en energías renovables. Rio Tinto ($RIO) ha iniciado conversaciones con la minera de litio Arcadium Lithium ($ALTM) sobre una posible adquisición, según anunciaron ambas empresas el lunes. Aunque emitieron comunicados por separado, no se revelaron detalles adicionales, y ambas aclararon que "no hay certeza de que se llegue a un acuerdo o que la transacción avance". Arcadium, por su parte, reafirmó su compromiso de seguir ejecutando su visión estratégica de crecimiento significativo. Según Reuters, las conversaciones valoran a Arcadium entre $4 - $6 Billones. Albemarle ($ALB) ha anunciado una nueva estructura operativa, pasando de sus dos unidades comerciales globales principales —Energy Storage y Specialties— a un modelo funcional totalmente integrado. Este cambio busca aumentar la agilidad, generar importantes ahorros de costos y mantener la competitividad a largo plazo. A pesar de la reestructuración, la empresa seguirá informando resultados en sus tres segmentos operativos existentes: Energy Storage, Specialties y Ketjen. A partir del 1 de noviembre, Netha Johnson, presidente de la división Specialties, será la nueva directora de operaciones, y Eric Norris, presidente de Energy Storage, asumirá el rol de director comercial, ambos reportando al CEO Kent Masters. El cofundador de $REGN advierte sobre los daños de los medicamentos para bajar de peso.

In this episode with my guest, Meghan Hayden, we discuss how we can build sustainable strength, performance, and functionality so that we can perform optimally well into our later years of life. We discuss the biggest struggle in obtaining and sustaining fitness and health goals, the importance of motivation and goal setting, the benefits of functional training and key moves to ensure functionality.  Meghan Hayden is a Division 1 soccer player turned athletic strength and conditioning coach based in NYC. She is passionate about educating and guiding others how to perform optimally at work and in life. She believes everyone should train to be able to do the things they love, for as long as possible. Growing up with parents older than most grandparents, she was constantly reminded from a young age how precious life is, and how important it is to live in a body that functions for you and enhances your life rather than holds you back.  Meghan's journey as an athletic strength and conditioning coach is deeply rooted in her belief that everyone deserves to thrive in their pursuits, uninhibited by physical constraints. She is the Founder of Take Off With Meg which is A personalized program remote based, tailored to your preferences, fitness level and body requirements.
