Chuck Todd begins with the growing firestorm surrounding President Donad Trump's decision to withhold the Epstein files and why his behavior is only adding to the suspicion. He explains why Epstein is a central figure to the QAnon conspiracy many Trump supporters subscribe to, and why Trump's continued dismissals of a theory he has fed for years will only further fracture his base and prolong the outrage over his broken promise to release all the files.Then, Chuck is joined by formal FTC Chair Lina Khan to reflect on her transformative tenure leading the Federal Trade Commission and the critical battles she fought against corporate monopolization. Khan discusses how the concentration of corporate power today mirrors the early 20th century, exploring whether capitalism itself is failing as tech giants like Google and Amazon wield unprecedented control over commerce, media distribution, and information flow. She delves into the surveillance economy that has emerged from companies monetizing user data, the regulatory challenges posed by AI development, and controversial practices like surveillance pricing and non-compete agreements that trap both consumers and workers.Khan also addresses the structural limitations of the FTC, noting how the agency is too small for its ambitious mission, while highlighting unexpected bipartisan support from the populist right for her antitrust work. The conversation covers her efforts to tackle everything from pharmacy benefit managers and subscription cancellation difficulties to the urgent need for algorithm regulation, particularly for content affecting children. As she prepares to leave the FTC, Khan reflects on the media's focus on markets rather than the broader economy, the ongoing fight for data privacy rights, and the "ferocious pushback" lawmakers face when challenging powerful corporate interests, offering practical advice for consumers seeking to protect their privacy in an increasingly surveilled digital landscape.Finally, Chuck shares his experience of discovering that Google's Gemini AI claims that he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease… which is not true.

As a kid I found Dream Land too easy and it scarred me, but as I've gotten older I've grown to appreciate the simplicity that is a Kirby game. And while it isn't his best work, Kirby's Dream Land 2 is a beautiful walk through a puke-green park.Dream Land 2 takes everything the OG Dream Land game did and makes it better. Animal sidekicks with more power abilities. Way more levels. Save files. Optional collectibles. This game isn't making my top 10 of all-time list or anything, but for a Game Boy game, it's pretty damned ambitious.Our resident Game Boy junkie, Patrick, is my guest this week. While we both agreed that Dream Land 2 did a lot to build on the base of the first game, we found ourselves ranking the two in different orders. Honestly, I think we were both a little harder on this game than we intended to be, but we righted through ship with some solid scores at the end.And before we start swallowing, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week, someone asks which Simpsons character would best fit in with Super Smash Bros? Someone asks how I feel about another popular "gaming" channel. And what's with my horrible @memberthegame social media handle?Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too!

Autonomous vehicle giant Waymo is starting to experiment with subscription packages for teens — including those too young to drive. But as America's kids gain high-tech motorized independence, what will they lose in exchange? Today on the Brake, host Kea Wilson is going solo for an informal chat about the debate over driverless cars as a youth mobility solution, how autonomous vehicles could even further isolate young people from their communities, and the dangers of relying on corporations for our basic human needs. And along the way, she touches on teen driving safety, the concept of "bumpability," and why parents are scared to let their kids outside on their own, even if they're not worried about car crashes.

Send us a textWhat happens when a fashion brand thinks like a tech company? At Shoptalk Europe, Katie sits down with Mark Ralea, General Manager of Fabletics Europe, to find out how this fast-growing activewear brand is disrupting the retail game - from AI-powered personalisation to immersive, experience-led stores.Together, they unpacked: Subscription models create deeper customer relationships - Mark explains how Fabletics' recurring model drives predictable revenue, reduces overstock, and builds genuine customer relationships.Owning your tech stack gives you superpowers - From proprietary onboarding quizzes to omnichannel experiences and AI recommendations, Fabletics is built on in-house innovation.Build an Experience - Mark shares plans for a 900m² flagship wellness store -think reformer Pilates, cryo chambers, and nutrition bars. Katie's take? “This is the future of retail - not just selling, but creating something people want to visit.”This conversation with Mark Ralea isn't just about athleisure - it's a masterclass in how to build a future-proof brand. From flipping the fashion retail model on its head with subscriptions, to creating community through experience-led retail, Fabletics isn't playing by old rules - they're writing new ones.Tech alone doesn't drive loyalty. It's the human-first thinking behind the product recommendations, personalisation, and brand partnerships that creates real connection.

But Super Mario 3D Land is one that slips through my memory cracks a lot, and dare I say, for a Mario game I think it's actually a little underrated...It doesn't really do anything new or special, but it's a rock-solid 3D platformer, it brings back classic tunes and power-ups from previous Mario games, and while I think it's a little bit of a tech demo for the 3DS's 3D features, the fact remains that it's got that same level of polish most of my favourite plumber's games have.Pending RTG Hall of Famer Mark McCue is my guest this week, and while he has a stronger attachment to 3D Land than I do, I think I actually like it a little more than he does. At the end of the day it's me and Mark talking about a Mario game and sprinkling in some comedy stories.

Welcome to Episode 53 of the Freedom Factory podcast—marking the exciting start of Year Two! In this power-packed kickoff to a brand-new season, host Brandon Cunningham delivers one of the most focused and impactful lessons yet: how to chase the right rabbit in your network marketing business.If you've ever felt burnt out, frustrated, or unsure why your volume isn't growing—even when you're working hard—this episode is your blueprint for lasting, sustainable success. Brandon reveals why so many entrepreneurs get distracted by vanity metrics like trips, volume spikes, and promotions... while overlooking the core behaviors that create freedom and build real leverage.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why Incentive Trips Can Be a Distraction: Brandon shares his personal story of building a million-dollar business long before ever qualifying for a trip—and how focusing on the right behaviors yields long-term success.The Power of Enrollment Ratios: Understand why an 80/20 split (80% customers, 20% business partners) is a key indicator of duplication and sustainable growth.Subscriptions vs. Sales Spikes: Discover why subscription volume is the most important metric in your business—and how growing it 5–10% per month can compound over time to create financial security.Leadership Through Presentation and Duplication: Learn why those who regularly present the vision—both online and in-person—are the real drivers of leverage in your team.When You've Really “Arrived” in Network Marketing: Brandon challenges listeners to stop chasing flash and instead build a business where multiple leaders in different legs are each earning $20K+ monthly—that's when true freedom begins.Whether you're just starting your network marketing journey or you're leading a six-figure team, this episode realigns your focus with the metrics that actually move the needle. Brandon's energetic, no-fluff delivery cuts through the noise and helps you get back to doing the work that builds your dream business—without burning out.#FreedomFactoryPodcast #NetworkMarketing #LeveragedIncome #BusinessGrowth #DuplicationStrategy #LeadershipDevelopment #FinancialFreedom #SubscriptionModel #AvoidBurnout #EntrepreneurMindsetReady to transform your mindset and achieve your goals?

Think the billable hour is just the way things are in law? Think again. In this eye-opening conversation, guest host Bridgit Norris sits down with The Subscription Attorney Mathew Kerbis, who shares how shifting to a subscription-based legal model can transform your practice—financially, operationally, and ethically. Mathew, founder of Subscription Attorney LLC and host of the Law Subscribed podcast, offers affordable, automation-powered legal services starting at just $20 a month. You'll discover why traditional firm structures are failing both lawyers and clients—and how a modern, recurring-revenue model can help you build a scalable practice without burnout. If you're tired of chasing hours, confused about AI's role in your firm, or ready to design a legal business that supports your life—not consumes it—this episode is your permission slip to evolve. Your law firm deserves better, and so do you.Key Takeaways from Bridgit and Mathew:1. The Billable Hour Is a Broken Business ModelMany lawyers operate within a system that punishes efficiency and incentivizes burnout.Once you stop tracking time and start delivering outcome-based value, a better way of practicing becomes not just possible, but inevitable.2. Recurring Revenue Brings Predictability and ImpactSubscription-based legal services make it easier to serve clients proactively while generating stable, recurring income.Instead of chasing invoices and hours, lawyers can focus on meaningful client work that builds long-term relationships.3. Subscription Models Are Flexible Enough for Any PracticeFrom family law to immigration and even litigation, flat-fee and tiered subscription structures can be designed to accommodate complexity and shifting case dynamics.What matters is communicating the scope and pricing thresholds upfront.4. AI + Alternative Fees = Scalable, Leaner FirmsLaw firms can now scale without scaling staff by leveraging AI tools to enhance—not replace—human expertise.Firms that embrace AI see higher-quality work done faster and cheaper, making traditional staffing models less necessary.5. There's a Massive Market the Legal Industry Is IgnoringWith over 75% of legal needs going unmet, the industry is leaving behind a $1.3 trillion opportunity.Firms that rethink how they serve and price legal help can tap into this underserved market while making law more accessible to everyone. "The only people who are going to lose their jobs in this AI-powered world are employees who refuse to leverage AI." — Mathew KerbisGet in touch with Mathew Kerbis:Website: https://mathewkerbis.com/ & https://subscriptionattorney.com/Show: Law Subscribed: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/law-subscribed/id1586707101LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kerbisverse/Are you a high-achieving woman in law ready to become a powerhouse CEO?Then HER Law was built for you.
Lex chats with Edward Woodford - CEO of Zerohash. They discuss Zerohash's growth, the rise of stablecoins, and the evolving fintech landscape. Edward explains how stablecoins now make up half of Zerohash's volume, highlights regulatory shifts in the U.S. and abroad, and explores the distinction between crypto and stablecoins. The conversation covers usability challenges, emerging payment use cases, and the future of embedded finance, emphasizing the need for regulatory clarity and collaboration between fintechs and traditional financial institutions. Notable discussion points: 1. Stablecoins Overtake Crypto in Volume: Stablecoins now make up over 50% of Zerohash's volume, driven by regulatory clarity and real-world use cases like payments and treasury. Institutions prefer them for their centralized control and ease of integration.2. Brokerage and Payments Are Converging: Zerohash sees strong demand across brokerage and payment rails, with banks and fintechs embedding stablecoin infrastructure. Global payouts, account funding, and subscriptions are key growth areas despite UX friction.3. Regulatory Climate Is Rapidly Improving: U.S. policy has shifted from regulatory overreach to bipartisan support for stablecoin legislation. This change is unlocking institutional adoption, with banks now moving aggressively into crypto and digital assets. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION Topics: Zerohash, MoonPay, Transak, Ramp, Stripe, BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, Hamilton Lane, Morgan Stanley, Charles Schwab, SoFi, Uniswap, fintech, web3, digital assets, blockchain, tokenization, rwas, stablecoin, crypto, regulation ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

My love of the NES games comes from their snare drum tight controls and tough-but-fair challenge. the SNES entry improves on a lot of the aspects of Contra & Super C: better weapons, level variety, obviously the graphics. I may not like the gameplay as much as the older games, but I can't deny that it levels up in a lot of aspects. And it's still tough as fuck, which I love. My boy Tyler hops back on the show this week. Contra III is his preferred flavour of Contra, and while we may have disagreed on where the series peaked, we come together to show this game some love and talk about the good, the bad, and the bullshit (level 5) of Contra III.

But for some reason, I never really gave the first sequel the time of day. And after almost 7 years of podcasts, it's time to right that wrong. I finally played through it and damned if it isn't almost as good as it's older brother. It's the tried and true Mega formula: take down 8 evil robots, steal their weapons, save the world, and die a lot in the process. Like X, it's got those sexy 16-bit graphics, 'Mavericks' instead of robot masters (which are all very fucking cool), and you can still find those Dr. Light chambers to power up with. I think the only thing missing from X2, in my eyes at least, is the nostalgia I have for the first game. And even then, this one holds up just fine. This a great game.

It's a fantastic game. But Gears of War 2 managed to top it in every single way. This isn't just one of the best sequels ever, it's unquestionably one of my favourite games of all-time. The gang is back: Marcus, Dom, Baird, and of course, the Cole Train. The story picks up after the events of the first game, and while the combat remains the same, they found a way to improve on it and throw you into so many different scenarios that it never feels played out or boring. Sick story, new weapons, awesome locations, and you even run around inside a giant worm. How could anyone not love Gears 2?? The Dom to my Marcus, my buddy Tyler, returns to the show this week. I love Gears 2 for the campaign, and Tyler gushes about it as well, but also takes a dive into his love of Horde mode and the rest of the multiplayer offerings Gears 2 has to offer. This was as much fun as I've had recording an episode in a long time, and I hope we made all you Gears heads proud.

Karen Hao has been warning us about Sam Altman's OpenAI for a while now. In her bestselling Empire of AI, she argues that the Silicon Valley startup is a classic colonial power, akin to Britain's East India Company. Like those colonial merchants and policy makers who wrapped profit-seeking in civilizing missions, OpenAI cloaks its relentless scaling ambitions behind the noble goal of "ensuring artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity." But as Hao reveals, this pursuit comes at enormous cost—environmental devastation, exploited labor, and the extraction of data from communities worldwide. The parallels are striking: a private corporation accumulating unprecedented resources and power, operating with minimal oversight while externalizing the harms of its empire-building to those least able to resist. Five Key Takeaways 1. OpenAI is a Modern Corporate Empire Hao argues OpenAI operates like the British East India Company—a private corporation wrapped in a "civilizing mission" that extracts resources globally while externalizing costs to vulnerable communities. The company's stated goal of "benefiting all humanity" serves as ideological cover for profit-driven expansion.2. AI Development Didn't Have to Be This Destructive Before OpenAI's "scaling at all costs" approach, researchers were developing smaller, more efficient AI models using curated datasets. OpenAI deliberately chose quantity over quality, leading to massive computational requirements and environmental damage that could have been avoided.3. The Climate and Social Costs Are Staggering McKinsey estimates global energy grids need to add 2-6 times California's annual consumption to support AI infrastructure expansion. This means retired coal plants staying online, new methane turbines in working-class communities, and data centers consuming public drinking water in drought-prone areas.4. The Business Model May Be Unsustainable Despite raising $40 billion (Silicon Valley's largest private investment), OpenAI hasn't demonstrated how to monetize at that scale. Subscriptions don't cover operational costs, leading to considerations of thousand-dollar monthly fees or surveillance-based advertising models.5. Resistance is Possible and Already Happening Communities worldwide are successfully pushing back—from Chilean residents stalling Google data centers for five years to artists suing over intellectual property theft. Hao argues collective action across AI's supply chain can force a shift toward more democratic, community-centered development.Karen Hao is an award-winning journalist covering the impacts of artificial intelligence on society. She writes for publications including The Atlantic and leads the Pulitzer Center's AI Spotlight Series, a program training thousands of journalists around the world on how to cover AI. She was formerly a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, covering American and Chinese tech companies, and a senior editor for AI at MIT Technology Review. Her work is regularly taught in universities and cited by governments. She has received numerous accolades for her coverage, including an American Humanist Media Award and American National Magazine Award for Journalists Under 30. She received her Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering from MIT.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Get ready for a jam-packed episode of Thrive Loud with Lou Diamond, recorded live from the Wall Street Conference in Palm Beach, Florida! In this special installment, Lou sits down for inspiring conversations with three dynamic leaders from diverse industries:
The Wall Street Journal has many advantages at a perilous time for news publishers. It has a massive paid subscriber base (4.3 million across print and digital). It caters to an affluent audience. It has a storied brand. While AI is threatening to overwhelm swathes of the industry, the Journal has benefited from advertising from flush AI companies. Yet it isn't immune to the pressures facing publishing overall and news in particular.WSJ CRO Josh Stinchcomb joined the show to discuss how the Journal is using the trust its journalism engenders to make money in new ways that aren't related to either ads or subscriptions, including events, executive communities and as a brand halo for Dow Jones information products.
Ever feel like you've got 57 tabs open in your brain and everyone needs something from you? Yeah, same. In this episode, we're diving into a conversation that hits especially hard for high-performing women who are juggling ALL the things—work, family, laundry, gym time, invisible mental loads—and wondering why they're so damn tired all the time. I'm sharing a personal deep dive into the truth about your schedule and energy, what a real-life audit looks like (including the parts we'd rather avoid), and how to trade the draining stuff for things that actually light you up. We're talking boundaries, burnout, and why it's okay to delete, delegate, and dance your way back to joy.

Patreon.com/RememberTheGame Everyone around RTG Industries knows I love the NES, and the best games in the NES library are practically royalty around here. That exclusive list includes the Mario trilogy, both Contras, a ton of Mega Man, and of course, the legendary Mike Tyson's Punch-Out... I have been trying to beat this game on and off for almost 35 years and still haven't reached the top of the mountain. For the longest time, Soda Popinski was my kryptonite. I couldn't beat him as a kid, and he just held court over me (is that a term?) every time I went up against him. I've finally slayed that demon, but the illusive Mike Tyson victory still evades me. For now, anyway. But that doesn't matter. Modern tough games make me crazy, but NES tough games are my torture of choice.
