Google escaped the harshest remedies in its long-running search antitrust trial, with the court declining to force a Chrome or Android spinoff or ban payments to partners like Apple and Samsung. Meanwhile, media buyers are taking a closer look at Publicis-owned Epsilon SSP, with some blocking it entirely due to transparency concerns. And in the AI space, Perplexity has pulled back on its ad experiments, raising bigger questions about how generative search can—or should—be monetized. Judge Mehta's ruling spared Google from structural breakups or bans on partner payments, requiring only limited data sharing and oversight for six years. Generative AI competition from OpenAI, Microsoft, Meta, and Perplexity influenced the court's belief that search competition is evolving without harsher remedies. Google maintains dominance with 65–70% of global browser share and around 40% of ad spend coming from paid search. Media buyers discovered they were funneling spend through Publicis-owned Epsilon SSP via reselling, sparking data leakage and conflict-of-interest concerns. Perplexity scaled back its ads after advertiser pushback, highlighting the lack of clear value, measurement, and final product structure in AI-driven ad formats. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jessica Bartnick, co-founder and CEO of Foundation for C.H.O.I.C.E, joins us to illuminate the power of mentorship in transforming the lives of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. With "CHOICE" meaning "Consider how One Individual Changes Everything," Jessica shares how her organization's mission is deeply personal, inspired by her husband's success as a first-generation college graduate. We explore how the foundation navigates the complexities of the college application process, connecting students with mentors who guide them through a transformative 27-week curriculum. This structured support has led to an impressive 85% graduation rate among participants, flipping the script on dropout statistics that often overshadow students from challenging backgrounds. Step into the world of business integration as we discuss how the Foundation for Choice provides critical exposure to professional environments, forming partnerships with businesses to sustain its impactful work. The stories of Law, a refugee from Burma who triumphed over adversity to earn a full scholarship and pursue a medical career, and Stephen, who leveraged the program to build a successful life in banking, serve as testaments to the foundation's success. As Jessica underscores the vital role of donations in maintaining their work, we invite you to support this life-changing mission by visiting their website and engaging with their social media platforms.

Patent Office has confirmed that.”"Whole foods are not enough [referring to declining nutrition content].”“We like to celebrate whole foods and make nutrition fun.”“The best advice I've been given is to not rush into retail.”“It's important to scale things that work and not scale any things that are not quite right yet.”“I think people should just think bigger, think longer term, be more patient, and the world would be a better place.”“We finally launched and then to our surprise, we went viral in the US.

Megan chats with her husband Dan about the unexpected moment that sparked her memoir and how a decade of RV travel inspired the story she needed to tell first. Dan Porta is a team builder at heart, currently growing Strategic Partnerships for Eat Blog Talk and further developing in-person events. With past experience in educational travel, Dan has cultivated a passion for bringing people together and facilitating positive learning experiences where meaningful connections can flourish. It's all about other people. This episode dives into the deeply personal, wildly entertaining journey behind Megan's upcoming memoir. After years of wanting to write a book, it wasn't until she unplugged from work completely that the right story emerged. From Montana storms to family campfires, Megan shares how storytelling, self-discovery, and seasonality aligned at just the right time to bring this project to life. Key points discussed include: - Unplugging creates clarity: Taking a real break from work and noise can unlock ideas you did not know were waiting. - Let the project find you: When something feels off, it might not be time yet. When something feels right, take action (don't put it off, otherwise it may never happen). - Follow the creative flow: Some projects do not need a plan, just space, trust, and consistent action. - Write your story before your strategy: Sometimes personal truth needs to be told before you can teach others how to find theirs. - Embrace emotional resistance: The parts of a project that feel hardest to write are often the most meaningful. - Make space for your next thing: Restructure your schedule if needed, aligned creative work deserves a seat at the table.

In this episode, host Pete Moore sits down with Andrew Petcash—former college basketball player, venture capitalist, and one of LinkedIn's most insightful voices on the business of sports. Andrew shares his journey from building a massive NBA YouTube channel as a teenager to founding Profluence Capital, a sports-focused venture fund that connects founders, investors, and cutting-edge sports businesses. The conversation dives deep into Andrew's strategy for breaking down sports industry segments, sourcing valuable market data, and building authentic, action-oriented thought leadership (or, as Pete calls it, “action leadership!") He unpacks how his personal brand has become a powerful engine for attracting investment targets and shares why transparency in the investment process can spark even more opportunities in the ever-evolving sports landscape. Whether you're an entrepreneur, investor, or just interested in youth and collegiate sports—including the ripple effects of NIL—this episode gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how major trends are being identified, funded, and built from the ground up. Petcash also offers candid advice for aspiring investors about the best ways to get involved in early-stage sports deals. On their investment aproach, Petcash states, "Most of our companies have said we're their most helpful investor because we can also get them a lot of attention from our channels from a marketing lens. We also just have a huge network to get them more investment or to get them more customers or whatever." Key themes discussed Building credibility through content and thought leadership. Action-oriented investing in sports and health sectors. Market research and sizing sports investment opportunities. Navigating early-stage venture capital and due diligence. Challenges and opportunities of NIL in college sports. The value of networks and relationships in sports investing. A few key takeaways:  1. Content Creation as a Market Differentiator: Andrew leveraged his expertise in content creation to position himself as not just a thought leader, but an “action leader” in the sports and VC world. By sharing insights and market analysis on platforms like LinkedIn, he built trust, credibility, and created a network effect that brings founders and opportunities directly to him. 2. Unique Approach to Market Sizing and Research: Andrew highlights his process of identifying investment opportunities in sports—especially youth sports and the impact of NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) changes. He combines feedback from industry contacts, exclusive data access, and his own proprietary database, blending qualitative and quantitative insights not widely available elsewhere. 3. Innovative Venture Capital Model: Profluence goes beyond the typical VC approach. They split their portfolio between more predictable, linear investments (e.g., sports teams/events—what he calls “layer one” assets) and higher-upside venture bets. This aims to balance risk and ensure strong fund returns, even if only a few high-risk investments succeed. 4. The Value of Strategic Partnerships and Advisory Networks: Petcash also emphasized the importance of surrounding himself with subject matter experts and private equity partners as both LPs (limited partners) and advisors. This adds significant strategic value when evaluating deals and managing portfolio companies, helping Profluence "punch above its weight" in deal selection and support. 5. Advice to Investors-Use Funds Over Angel Investments: Both Pete and Andrew caution against direct angel investments into early-stage companies, unless you have professional oversight and industry-specific expertise. Instead, they recommend investing through established funds with strong governance and a relevant network—offering better diversification, professional vetting, and an increased chance of success.
