5 AI CEOs Just Said The Same Thing Five of the most powerful people in artificial intelligence just said the same thing in the same month. They didn't make handwavy vague statements — they all agreed on the same direction, the same timelines, the same warnings. Five CEOs who are actively competing against each other, spending hundreds of billions, all converging on one message. Key points: • What Sam Altman, Jensen Huang, Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella, and Elon Musk all said • Why competitors are suddenly agreeing • The timeline they're all pointing to • What this convergence means for the future Watch this video at-  https://youtu.be/kMivoKHHkxQ?si=I1ERQG-imaL7UPSy Farzad 383K subscribers 761,083 views Feb 2, 2026 #elonmusk #FSD #twitter Buy my book: https://a.co/d/03deuZWF --- --- Rebellionaire: https://www.rebellionaire.com/farzad Join my exclusive community: https://farzad.fm Buy Matic: https://maticrobots.com/?utm_term=FRI...

Sam Altman (OpenAI), Sundar Pichai (Google), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), Jensen Huang (NVIDIA), and Elon Musk (xAI/Tesla) are converging on a timeline most people aren't ready for. In this video, I break down exactly what these CEOs said, why they're all saying it NOW, and what it means for your job, your investments, and the economy. Topics covered: • AGI timeline predictions from 5 tech giants • Why 2025-2027 keeps coming up • The convergence of AI + robotics + energy • What the "intelligence too cheap to meter" future looks like • How to position yourself before the wave hits I've been covering Tesla and AI for 14 years.

What did Adam and Chris get right about retail in 2024?Back in 2024, Chris Ressa sat down with DLC CEO Adam Ifshin in Las Vegas ahead of ICSC to talk about a retail market that was already showing unusual strength. Looking back from 2026, that conversation reads less like commentary and more like an early signal of where open-air retail was headed.At the time, Adam laid out a clear case: open-air retail fundamentals were outperforming the broader narrative. Traffic, sales, occupancy, and rent had all moved above pre-pandemic levels, even while capital markets remained strained. That disconnect was the core tension then, and it remains one of the most important dynamics to understand now.What stands out even more in hindsight is how early DLC was in identifying the structural forces behind that strength. Chris and Adam discussed years of underbuilding, limited new supply, rising construction costs, and the steady removal of retail space for other uses like apartments, healthcare, and self-storage. In 2026, those pressures have not disappeared. If anything, they have become harder to ignore.The conversation also reinforced two themes that have continued to shape the market: the durability of value retail and the strength of suburban, secondary, and exurban demand. Long before those ideas became consensus views, DLC was investing around them. Looking back, the logic still holds. Consumers continue to prioritize value, retailers continue to chase the right space, and owners continue to operate in a market where quality supply is limited.This conversation matters now because it captures a moment when disciplined operators were already seeing what others were still debating. For retail real estate professionals, investors, and retailers trying to understand how we got here, this is a sharp look at the thinking that helped define the last two years of the market.What You'll HearOpen-air retail fundamentals are still too good to ignore - How traffic, sales, occupancy, and rent have all moved past pre-pandemic highs, reinforcing the strength of the sector.Capital markets diverged from fundamentals - How rising interest rates and tighter credit created volatility in financing even while retail performance strengthened.Strong fundamentals matter more than cheap capital - Why disciplined operators prefer a market with solid demand and constrained capital rather than easy money and weak assets.Supply constraints are reshaping retail - How 15 years of underbuilding, rising construction costs, and redevelopment have reduced available retail space.Value is always in fashion - How retailers like Walmart, TJX, and other value-focused brands continue to win with consumers across income levels.Suburban and secondary markets are gaining momentum - How migration, affordability, and remote work have pushed growth beyond major urban centers.Retailers are expanding into smaller markets - How shifting demographics and income growth have opened new opportunities for national tenants.Smart retailers move early on space - How limited supply is pushing tenants to secure locations now before rents climb further.Chapters00:00 — Live from Las Vegas, before the market fully caught upChris opens the conversation with Adam Ifshin from ICSC week in Vegas.01:55 — Why DLC published “Too good to ignore”Adam explains the thinking behind DLC's 2024 white paper and why the timing mattered.02:35 — The fundamentals were already telling a different storyTraffic, sales, occupancy, and rent had all pushed past pre-pandemic highs.04:45 — The big disconnect: strong assets, stressed capital marketsAdam breaks down why financing conditions were not reflecting what operators were seeing on the ground.08:57 — Why strong fundamentals beat cheap capitalChris asks which environment matters more, and Adam makes the case for discipline over easy money.12:05 — Could outside capital really move into retail?They discuss whether groups from other asset classes could compete in open-air retail.15:34 — Rates, cap rates, and timing the marketAdam explains why buying into strong fundamentals matters more than waiting for perfect conditions.17:41 — What constrained supply really meant long termChris and Adam talk through the deeper implications of limited space and rising retailer demand.20:54 — Why new development was still far from a real answerAdam outlines why replacement cost and labor constraints were holding back new retail construction.25:50 — Why value retail was never just a trendAdam explains why value has always been central to DLC's view of the consumer.31:54 — The consumer story behind the retail storyAdam makes the connection between consumer health, policy, and retail real estate performance.33:43 — Why suburban and smaller markets were gaining strengthDemographic shifts, remote work, and affordability made these markets more compelling.42:52 — What smart retailers were expected to do nextAdam lays out why decisive tenants would move early as the supply-demand imbalance continued.

Three Latin-American food brands saw the opportunity to go further, faster, together – so they took it. Stefanie Garcia Turner of Tuyyo, Jocelyn Ramirez of Todo Verde, and Regina Trillo of Nemi share how they met, why they decided to merge their businesses and brands, and what their vision is for the new brand, unified under Tuyyo. The three woman-and-minoroty-owned brands share a mission of amplifying their Latin-American food culture through authentic and innovative latin foods, representation food culture, and community impact . Learn how this strategic merger will allows each leader to lean into their strengths, and how collaboration aligned on shared values can accelerate growth in the challenger food brand space.Takeaways:The origins and individual missions of Jocelyn of Todo Verde, Regina of Nemi Snacks, and Stephanie of Tuyyo FoodsThe strategic process behind their merger—personality tests, role division, and cultural alignmentHow they'll leverage their merger to reduce costs, expand categories, and innovate fasterTransition strategies for branding, retail placement, and consumer education across their unified brand Tuyyo FoodsSupply chain synergies and efforts to lower COGS by 35% or more through manufacturing and sourcing efficienciesThe broader vision: promoting Latin American flavors regionally and globally while supporting farmers and sustainabilityChallenges faced—costs of rebranding, education hurdles around regional products, and maintaining brand integrityThe importance of shared values, culture fit, and a growth mindset for successful mergersRecommendations for founders considering collaboration and merger as a growth pathwayBook and resource recommendations around exponential thinking, sensory storytelling, and personal spiritualityThoughts on building a healthier food system rooted in equity, community, and transparent ingredient sourcingSound Bites:“We can create something that is even bigger, that is even more impactful, that really is going to make a dent in the food industry.” (Stefanie)“We went from, I'm holding this, this is my baby, to really egoless, like this isn't about me, this is about a brand.” (Jocelyn)“We all knew each other relatively well before the merger. Stephanie is better at this than I am, Regina is better at this than I am, you know, so there was already a sense of like, if we came together, we could split the work in that way.” (Jocelyn)“We are planning on bringing everything under the one Tuyyo brand.” (Stefanie)“We're moving towards standardizing our supply chain operations. It's been a constant conversation and communication with suppliers, both in the US and in Mexico to see what's going to be the best way to do it.“ (Regina)“As of right now, [cost of goods optimization has] been at least 35%, which is it's been a big amount. And based on some information that we have, it's probably going to be higher than that.” (Regina)“I think that it's really gonna be about putting our community first and building a brand that not only can we be proud of, but that is a reflection of our heritage.” (Stefanie)“It took me six years to figure out that I didn't want to continue doing it alone.” (Regina)“[A better world is one] with more representation of the reality of how the community and how that should be represented on shelf as well. Ideally with products that are actually better for us, that are made with real ingredients, that are also supporting the farmers that are producing those ingredients.” (Regina)“[A better world is one with] a food system that is actually catered to the betterment of people in their everyday lives. It would just solve so many issues. And with all of the problems that we have between preventable diseases and healthcare systems that don't work for the people, it goes beyond justice for the farmer, but justice for everybody in the food chain.” (Stefanie)“I think that that in an ideal world there are policies put in place that are protecting people [by regulating] what is allowed and what isn't allowed in our food system. And products, especially those we give to children, that allow us to really reshape our palates and create shortcuts for cooking without taking the cooking part away because that's an basic survival life skill that most people should have and it empowers people to like know what's in their food, and how to nourish their families.” (Jocelyn)Links:Stefanie Garcia Turner on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefanie-garcia-turner/Jocelyn Ramirez on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jocelyncramirez77/Regina Trillo on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/regina-trillo-a5055711/Tuyyo - https://tuyyofoods.com/Tuyyo on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/tuyyofoods/Tuyyo on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tuyyofoods/Tuyyo on Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/tuyyofoods/Tuyyo on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@tuyyofoodsTuyyo on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4b_-VIdL7Yl7UQb91y5Vow…Tuyyo Wefunder - Coming soon……Todo Verde (website will go away soon) - https://todoverde.org/Nemi (website will go away soon) - https://neminative.com/…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radioTimestamps: 0:00 - Introduction of guests and their brands2:11 - The idea of merging to amplify Latin American food culture3:14 - The role of Jocelyn as a connector4:14 - Initial conversations and alignment of goals5:09 - Personality tests and understanding team dynamics6:18 - Personal insights and alignment of values7:19 - Confirmation of shared vision and responsibilities8:36 - Expanding vision and impact9:23 - Egoless collaboration and shared goals10:16 - Overcoming personal challenges in the merger process11:33 - Open communication and external support12:47 - Technical adjustments during recording13:00 - Introduction and alignment of values and vision13:29 - Discussion on dividing responsibilities among the founders13:49 - Initial retreat and mission alignment14:19 - Specific roles and responsibilities based on skills15:16 - Transitioning responsibilities before the merger15:57 - The natural fit of the founders' skills16:18 - Pre-existing relationships and collaboration17:27 - Importance of enjoying the process and having fun19:20 - Branding and unifying product lines under Tuyo Foods20:11 - Transition phase and retail placement21:11 - Marketing strategies and community engagement22:34 - Plans for easing the transition on retail shelves23:28 - Supply chain synergies and manufacturing efficiencies25:12 - Cost reduction strategies and shared resources26:54 - New shared vision and broader goals27:39 - Community focus and brand representation29:28 - Expanding Latin American food representation31:01 - Becoming a go-to platform for Latin foods33:07 - Benefits and opportunities unlocked by the merger36:30 - Challenges and unresolved issues37:37 - Fundraising and rebranding costs38:20 - Advice for other founders considering mergers41:58 - Future of the industry and collaboration45:26 - Fun questions about favorite Latin American foods53:51 - Book recommendations and personal insights60:10 - Influential voices and brands to watch65:17 - Vision of a more representative, equitable, and sustainable food system71:13 - Upcoming plans and ways to connect with Tuyo FoodsFor more insights on food innovation, community building, and scaling purpose-driven brands, subscribe and stay tuned for future episodes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For decades, housing planners have assumed that seniors would eventually downsize, freeing up family homes for the next generation. But that hasn't happened.In this episode, Cara Stern and Mike Moffatt explore why most seniors choose to stay in their homes and why that decision is often perfectly rational. High moving costs, limited housing options, strong community ties, and government policies that encourage aging in place all make downsizing far less appealing than planners expected.This mistaken assumption has shaped housing forecasts, contributed to today's housing shortage, and fueled tensions between generations. Are seniors really the problem, or did policymakers simply plan the housing system around the wrong idea?And if seniors aren't moving, what does that mean for families trying to find space in cities where family-sized homes remain scarce?In this episode, we discuss:The Over-Housing Myth: Why the term does more harm than good.The Cost of Moving: Taxes, fees, and the "financial loser" trade-off of downsizing.Involuntary Over-Housing: What happens when seniors want to move but have nowhere to go.Policy Failure: How municipal assumptions about generational turnover are decades out of date.Chapters:00:00 Introduction01:00 The Irony of Planners Assuming Seniors Will Downsize2:32 Flawed Assumptions About Generational Turnover and Life Expectancy03:47 The Problematic Term "Overhoused"07:11 Defining "Involuntarily Overhoused"08:25 Underhousing Statistics in Toronto09:04 Zero Sum Mentality Created By Housing Shortage10:40 Density as a Solution for Seniors and Reducing Resentment12:33 The Financial Calculation: Why Moving Makes No Sense for Seniors14:00  Policies Actively Paying Seniors to Stay in Place16:09 Places where they have Implemented Better Policy Research/links:Right-Sizing Housing and Generational Turnoverhttps://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/planning-studies-initiatives/housing-to-2051/Perspectives on Growing Older in Canada: The 2025 NIA Ageing in Canada Survey – National Institute on Ageing, Toronto Metropolitan Universityhttps://niageing.ca/reports/perspectives-on-growing-older-in-canada-the-2025-nia-ageing-in-canada-survey/Canada's Demographic Time Bomb: What Boom, Bust & Echo Got Right - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3VT7x1lrBsCity of Toronto – Garden Suites and Laneway Suiteshttps://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/planning-studies-initiatives/garden-suites/Hosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern & Sabrina Maddeaux Produced by Meredith Martin This podcast is funded by the Neptis Foundation and brought to you by the Smart Prosperity Institute.

If you've ever wished your postpartum snack could actually *do something* for your milk supply and taste amazing at the same time, this episode is for you. I'm sitting down with Dominique "Nika" Spencer, cake artist, mom of two, and founder of A Whisk Worth Tasting, a licensed home bakery right here outside Philadelphia in Lafayette Hill, PA, to celebrate the nationwide launch of her lactation cookies. That's right, these incredible hand-crafted cookies are now shipping straight to your door, anywhere in the US. Made in small batches with organic oats, brewer's yeast, and organic flaxseed (ingredients I talk about all the time as a certified lactation counselor), these dark chocolate chip cookies are designed to naturally support milk production while actually tasting like the treat you deserve after a sleepless night with a newborn. We're talking about how Nika brought this product to life, what makes these ingredients so powerful for breastfeeding moms, and why having a stash in your freezer might just become your favorite postpartum ritual. Whether you're pregnant, newly postpartum, or shopping for a mama you love, you'll want to hear this one. Episode Highlights: How do lactation cookies help support a breastmilk supply? What are the ingredients that support breastfeeding? How many do you need to eat to see results?  Resources:  Website: https://www.whiskworthtasting.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whiskworthtasting/

Since the U.S. and Israel first struck Iran on Saturday, energy prices have been on the rise. Oil prices are up around 13 per cent, and LNG – liquefied natural gas – is up around 75 per cent. 20 per cent of the world's oil and LNG pass through the narrow Strait of Hormuz, a passageway between the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea that is effectively being blocked by Iran's Revolutionary Guards. Eric Reguly is The Globe and Mail's European Bureau Chief. He joins the show to talk about the role energy plays in the war in Iran, and how the reverberations are being felt far beyond the Middle East. Questions? Comments? Ideas?

Every time rents rise, affordability worsens, or housing shortages make headlines, one group is dragged into the spotlight. Property investors.   They're called greedy. Accused of hoarding homes. Blamed for locking younger Australians out of the market.   But is that actually true… or just a convenient narrative?   After more than five decades in property investment, I've noticed a pattern. When housing gets hard, governments deflect. Media simplify. And investors become an easy target.   But here's the real question we need to ask: If property investors disappeared tomorrow, what would actually happen to Australia's housing system?   But are investors really the problem… or are they just the easiest target?   Today, I'm joined by Brett Warren to separate emotion from evidence, myths from facts, and ideology from economic reality.   Brett and I discuss the complexities of the property market, focusing on the role of property investors, the impact of government policies, and the ongoing housing supply issues.     We emphasise that property investors are not the villains often portrayed in the media, but rather essential players in providing rental accommodation.     The discussion highlights the need for long-term solutions to housing affordability and the importance of understanding the true dynamics of the property market.     Takeaways   Property investors are often mischaracterized as greedy. The housing market is facing a significant supply issue. Government policies can inadvertently harm the rental market. Investors provide essential services by supplying rental properties. The narrative around property investors needs to shift towards understanding their role. Long-term planning and infrastructure development are crucial for housing solutions. First home buyer incentives can drive up property prices. The majority of property investors are everyday Australians, not wealthy elites. Supply and demand dynamics are fundamental to the housing market. Clarity and understanding are needed to navigate the property investment landscape.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·          Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at: www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Get the team at Metropole to create a Strategic Wealth plan for your needs.

Interview with Robin Dunbar, CEO, Grid MetalsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/grid-metals-tsxvgrdm-fast-tracking-potential-on-lithium-nickel-copper-projects-5444Recording date: 2nd of March 2026Grid Metals Corp is advancing one of the world's rarest mineral opportunities—a cesium deposit in Manitoba, Canada, targeting production by 2027 in a market dominated by Chinese suppliers and constrained by extreme geological scarcity.The company has identified what CEO Robin Dunbar describes as one of only six cesium deposits ever discovered globally. With just three historically reaching production and only three new discoveries emerging despite intensive lithium exploration over the past five years, cesium's rarity drives premium pricing in a concentrated $400 million annual market where Chinese entities control 85% of supply.Grid Metals' development strategy diverges sharply from conventional mining economics. The shallow deposit, located 20-40 meters below surface, enables low-cost open-pit extraction of 50,000-100,000 tons of material. Processing relies on simple crush-and-sort technology using XRT optical sorting—eliminating the need for complex milling, tailings facilities, and environmental infrastructure that typically delay projects for years and require hundreds of millions in capital.The company has drilled approximately 100 holes with grades reaching 20-30% cesium oxide content. Based on prior discussions with nearby processor Tanco, concentrate could fetch $6,000-$9,000 per ton, potentially generating $30-100 million from an initial pit—representing 3-4 times Grid Metals' current $30 million market capitalization.Cesium applications span high-value sectors including drilling fluids for oil and gas wells, atomic clocks for military guidance systems, medical imaging, and emerging perovskite solar technology that increases photovoltaic efficiency by 25%. Supply constraints have historically limited adoption, creating latent demand that new supply could unlock.Grid Metals benefits from a critical timing advantage. Major competitor Power Metals' billion-dollar lithium-cesium project won't reach final investment decision until 2027, providing a 5-7 year market window. The company also maintains portfolio optionality through a 7-million-ton lithium deposit and a base metals joint venture with Teck Resources containing over $2 billion in ground metal value, providing diversified pathways to value realization.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/grid-metals-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Seventy percent of FDA Complete Response Letters have a CMC root cause. Most of those failures trace back to decisions made years earlier. Decisions that felt minor at the time and proved impossible to fix later.Henri Kornmann has spent two decades making those decisions the right way. From junior CMC scientist at Merck to leading Ferring Pharmaceuticals' first gene therapy approval for bladder cancer, Henri has crossed between CMC development, GMP manufacturing, and due diligence across some of the industry's most complex programs. His conclusion: a CMC program is like building a house. Get the foundation wrong and no amount of late-stage effort will save you.In Part 1, Henri reveals the decisions that cannot be undone and how to get them right from the start.What you will learn:Evolution of cell bank technology and regulatory expectations (00:33)The impact of weak CMC foundations on late-stage failure (00:51)Lessons learned from Ferring's gene therapy approval and CMC gap analysis (06:51)FDA statistics on CMC issues in INDs and response letters (08:07)Critical early decisions: cell bank clonality and proper storage practices (10:22)The importance of comprehensive raw material documentation (12:29)Early analytical characterization and discovering molecular “funkiness” before phase trials (13:41)Supply strategy for phase 2—why stability and batch knowledge matter (14:49)Introduction to critical quality attributes (CQA), process parameters, and quality-by-design principles (15:52)Common pitfalls in CQA identification and continued process verification (17:01)Smart insight:The therapies that reach patients aren't built on heroic late-stage rescues. They're built on disciplined early decisions: the right cell bank, the right analytics, the right documentation. Henri's message is unambiguous: there are CMC mistakes you can fix later, and there are CMC mistakes you cannot. Knowing the difference is the foundation of every successful biologics program.In Part 2, Henri walks through scale-up to commercial manufacturing, process validation stages 1 through 3, post-approval control strategy, and the project management and regulatory fluency that separate successful CMC leaders from the rest.If this topic resonates with you, here are a few related episodes where we dive deeper into building strong CMC foundations and avoiding costly development mistakes:Episodes 199 - 200: Mastering Quality by Design: From Product Failures to Commercial Success in Biologics CMC DevelopmentEpisodes 189 - 190: Why Smart Biotech Founders Plan CMC First (While Competitors Burn Cash Later)Episodes 23 - 24: Strategies for Success: Master CMC Development with Gene LeeEpisodes 57 - 58: Crafting a Solid CMC Strategy: Key Factors and Common Pitfalls with Matthias MüllnerConnect with Henri Kornmann:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/henri-kornmann-9b6869Next step:Need fast CMC guidance? → Get rapid CMC decision support hereSupport the show

The IfG DevoLab is dedicated to exploring the innovations enabled by devolution, learning from the results, and sharing the lessons so that places can take better decisions about how to use devolved powers and budgets. On 25 February, in Manchester, we held our fourth IfG DevoLab event, where three speakers set out how the powers and profile of mayors are being used to increase the supply of affordable homes within their regions. The three case studies presented at IfG DevoLab #4 were: ‘Increasing the supply of affordable homes in the West of England', by Stephen Peacock, Chief Executive of the West of England Combined Authority ‘From housing growth to good growth - experiences delivering housing growth in Greater Manchester', by Andrew McIntosh, Director of Sustainable Growth & Infrastructure at Greater Manchester Combined Authority ‘Supporting regions to increase the supply of affordable homes', by Jackie Rigby, Assistant Director - Place, Partnerships and Capacity at Homes England The three speakers were joined by Ben Denton, Head of Strategic Growth – Affordable Housing at L&G, for a broader discussion of the benefits of devolution and mayoral leadership for this agenda, how mayors can support the government make progress toward its challenging house-building targets, and how further devolution could help accelerate the supply of affordable homes. This event was chaired by Akash Paun, Programme Director at the Institute for Government. Insights from this discussion will inform a published policy briefing containing the three case studies and a synthesis of key lessons. The Institute for Government would like to thank L&G for its support of this event and for its wider support of the IfG DevoLab series.

It's a $25 million market cap company that just partnered with the most famous gold prospector on the planet… a man whose discoveries helped trigger the Yukon's second gold rush, who was featured on CBS's 60 Minutes, and whose projects have been acquired by major mining companies for hundreds of millions of dollars. The company is drilling in 2026, and spots in this financing are already filling fast. Click here to learn more: https://bit.ly/4rW1ADGThe free version of the 354th episode of Investing in Bizarro World is now published.Here's what was covered:Macro Musings - The commodity bull market remains intact — and the tape is confirming it. Gold is back over $5,200, silver is near $89, copper is pushing $6, and uranium is hovering near $90. The macro backdrop continues to cooperate: growth is slowing but still positive (Q4 GDP around 1.4–1.5%), inflation continues to moderate, and markets are increasingly pricing rate cuts in the second half of the year. That mix — softer rates, a weaker dollar, and sticky structural deficits in real assets — keeps the bull case alive. Volatility remains elevated (gold volatility still running hot), which means sharp swings are normal: gold can move a few hundred dollars and silver can swing $15–$20 without breaking the bullish structure. The message is the same: don't chase — use volatility and buy limits to accumulate quality.Market Takes - China's rare earth leverage is no longer theoretical. Supply constraints — particularly in heavy rare earths tied to aerospace, defense, and advanced semiconductor supply chains — are becoming more visible, and U.S. efforts to “solve” the problem with capital don't change the underlying timeline: it takes years to find, permit, fund, and build real production. That's why we continue to believe this is a multi-year commodity cycle with real staying power. The broader rotation we've discussed remains in motion as capital begins migrating toward hard assets and resource equities, and the opportunity set expands beyond precious metals into the wider critical minerals complex.Bizarro Banter - The Epstein fallout continues widening, with more high-profile resignations and revelations reinforcing the larger point: institutional credibility is deteriorating in real time. That erosion matters because capital follows trust — and when trust breaks, investors gravitate toward assets outside institutional control. We also spent time on jurisdictional risk and why “Mexico risk” is not one-size-fits-all. The recent cartel leadership takedown and its aftermath is a reminder that conditions can change quickly, and that risk is intensely local. Investors need to differentiate between major operators with deep security protocols and juniors operating in higher-risk zones with thinner operational coverage. We also hit local politics — including Nick's latest city council experience and why attempts to restrict public comment are rarely about “efficiency” and more often about insulating decision-makers from accountability.Premium Portfolio Picks - For paid listeners only.

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I am coming off one of the highest moments we have ever experienced as a team. Ignite 2026 was the biggest one yet. The energy. The recognition. The collaboration. The stories. The numbers. The celebration. I could barely sleep that night because I was watching it unfold from perspectives I do not always get to see. Behind the scenes, Carla and I are focused on execution. But through social media, through your messages, through your faces, I got to witness what it meant to you. And that is when something hit me. Every single year, people walk up to us and tell us what they are going to accomplish next year. Ten million. Fifteen million. Twenty million. And almost every single time, the ones who say it and commit to it actually do it. But here is the tension. There is a difference between declaring something with conviction and announcing something for a dopamine hit. In today's world, you can post that you are starting a diet, running a marathon, building a business, and immediately get applause. Congratulations. Fire emojis. Likes. Validation. And that initial rush can feel just like the accomplishment itself. It feels done before the work even begins. That is dangerous. Because when the lights turn off, when the music stops, when the stage is gone, you are left with the same marriage, the same finances, the same limiting beliefs, the same pipeline, the same habits. And if you are not grounded, that vision that felt so certain at Ignite can feel overwhelming just a few days later. So the real question is this. Who are you when things do not go your way? Right before Ignite started, we realized we had signed off on a much larger expense than expected. A surprise bill. A big one. It would have been easy to get frustrated. To lower my energy. To let it throw off the entire event. But how can I stand on that stage and ask you to go for ten million if I let a surprise expense shake my belief in abundance? The moment tested me. And that is what I need you to understand. You do not become a ten million dollar producer when everything is perfect. You become one in how you respond when it is not. If an appraisal comes in low and you spiral, you are not there yet. If a binzer does not go your way and you shut down, you are not there yet. If one client disrupts your momentum and your energy drops, you are not there yet. The numbers you wrote down at Ignite are possible. I believe that fully. But you have to stop chasing the high and start building the foundation. Events like Ignite are the cherry on top. They are not the foundation. The foundation is built in the in between. It is built in the daily deposits. The power deposits. The purpose deposits. The profit deposits. It is built when you post one video today instead of promising five every day and burning out by Wednesday. It is built when you upload ten contacts into your CRM instead of saying you are going to rebuild your entire database in one sitting. It is built when you follow up today. Not when you feel like it. Not when motivation is high. Today. The top producers who spoke on that panel did not get there by accident. It was strategic. It was methodical. It was disciplined. They got mentally right. Physically right. Spiritually right. Emotionally right. Then they executed. That is not a concept anymore. It is a fact. And the fact is this. You do not need to go chase conferences, happy hours, or environments that sell you a false narrative. You do not need constant highs. You need consistent wins. When I used to chase that conference high, I would come home depleted. Irritable. Blaming my circumstances. Because reality did not match the energy of the stage. That is addiction. That is not growth. Growth is when your baseline is strong enough that even your worst day is still better than your old life. That is what we are building here. Some people avoided Ignite because they were ashamed. Maybe they did not get the award they wanted. Maybe they did not get one at all. But hiding from reality does not help you grow. Facing it does. You should have been on that stage. If you were not, that is not shame. That is information. Now do something with it. Between now and your next review, what are you going to change? Not next year. Not someday. Today. Swing for singles. Get on base. Win today. The grand slam comes when you stack enough singles. If all of you hit the numbers you declared, we are looking at over a billion dollars in production collectively. That is not fantasy. That is math. But math only works when the daily inputs are consistent. You do not work up to a client. You work through a client. You do not stop when you get an appointment. You keep running the race. You do not pass the baton. You stay in motion. And above all, you cannot get thrown off by the small things. The next level version of you does not respond with frustration. They respond with composure. They respond with solutions. They respond with discipline. Ignite set a new bar. But we do not top fire dancers and sparklers with more theatrics. We top it with more of you on stage. That is how we win. Now the question is simple. Are you willing to want it more than I want it for you? Reflection Questions When things do not go your way, what is your automatic response and does it align with the level of producer you say you want to become? What are three small deposits you can make today that move you closer to your declared number? Are you chasing environments that make you feel accomplished, or are you building habits that actually make you accomplished? Notable Quotes "You do not become a ten million dollar producer when everything is perfect. You become one in how you respond when it is not." "Events are the cherry on top. The foundation is built in the in between." "We do not top it with more fireworks. We top it with more of you on stage." Follow A.Z. Araujo on Social Media: Instagram: @azaraujo Facebook: A.Z.

If you've just had your baby and your milk hasn't arrived yet, the first thing to know is that your body is not failing you. It's actually doing something remarkably complex behind the scenes, and most people, including most healthcare providers, never take the time to explain what that actually looks like.This episode is for every mum who has found herself Googling this question at 2am, wondering if something has gone wrong.

Drew Zimmerman, CEO of Noble Plains Uranium (OTCQB: NBLXF | TSXV: NOBL), points out that the US government, along with tech giants such as Meta and Google, have placed a massive bet on nuclear being the future of energy production, and that means uranium demand is continuing to skyrocket in the face of persistent supply deficits. Drew also breaks down how Noble Plains Uranium fits into the picture, along with sharing promising drill results from their flagship Duck Creek project in Wyoming.Noble Plains Uranium Website: https://nobleplains.comFollow Noble Plains on X: https://x.com/NOBLuraniumDisclaimer: Commodity Culture was compensated by Noble Plains Uranium for producing this interview.

From sanitation business opportunities to distribution logistics to the brutal truth about why coming down your ego and showing up every day at every customer's shop is the only way to build a business that lasts, the Koforidua sanitation problem where they have nowhere to dump refuse because the dump site is full creating an opportunity for someone to buy a tricycle, visit 100 houses every morning collecting refuse at five cedis per house making real money that nobody wants to touch because they want white collar office jobs, the logistics challenge of using Mr. Frempong's pickup truck that gets stopped at police barriers because it's loaded beyond the legal limit proving that transportation is the bottleneck when demand is higher than supply capacity, the warehouse expansion problem because the business is growing so fast that storage space is running out, the competitors who don't know where to get the product but try to be smart and steal customers anyway, the loyal customers like the woman and Antinana who called to say "some people brought some of your brand but we told them you are here so we buy from them" proving that relationships and showing up every day builds loyalty that competitors can't break, the Christmas move of buying goods and supplying them to all 180 customers including people he had never seen before because some customers he only met for the first time when he delivered the Christmas goods to Akyiatia, the daily routine of visiting every customer in Koforidua every single day because doing business with your presence and doing business with your absence are two completely different things, the Akyiatia trip where customers refused to give money to his sales person saying "if he has traveled he would be back, when he comes we will pay" proving that being present is the only way to collect payments in a market where money issues are common, the grandmother's advice to "come down your ego and money will look for you" like the driver playing loud music who gets angry when a passenger asks him to lower it and the passenger gets down losing the driver money in that moment, the best advice from Mr. Frempong to "just be truthful, don't spoil your reputation because that's why I stood for you from the start, that's why they brought the goods, so don't disappoint me," the motivation over discipline approach because gathering 180 customers in one and a half years when it's difficult for a customer to change their supplier means doing something exceptional like going to their shops to help them sell and fostering good relationships, the decision to leave friends behind and only keep one childhood friend Debenezer because if you call him it must be about things that will make him someone in the future, legit business investment opportunities, not here or there nonsense, and why the ultimate truth is this: there are so many problems in Ghana people can solve whether it's sanitation in Koforidua or distribution of essential goods, money is in Ghana but they don't like the dirty work, they want to be in offices earning 800 a month when that sanitation business visiting 100 houses a day at five cedis per house is actually a lot of money, but you must be present every day, visit your customers, help them sell, build relationships, and understand that being there and not being there is two different things. In this raw episode of Konnected Minds, host Derrick Abaitey sits down with a young entrepreneur who dismantles the dangerous "I need a white collar office job to make money" mentality that keeps graduates stuck waiting for 800 cedi monthly salaries, revealing the exact moment when loyal customers in Antinana called to say competitors brought his brand but they refused to buy because "you are here so we buy from you," when visiting every customer in Koforidua every single day built relationships so strong that customers in Akyiatia refused to pay his sales person saying "when he comes we will pay" because presence is everything in a market where money issues are common, when buying goods and supplying them to all 180 customers at Christmas including people he had never seen before proved that generosity and relationship building create loyalty competitors cannot break.

Pastor Philip D. Derber

This Week Elder Trinity Terry spoke on: God never lowers the standard. Through grace, He provides everything we need to live without compromise and become more like Jesus.

Host Brian Leni interviews Justin Huhn of UraniumInsider.com about uranium market fundamentals and investing. Huhn explains Kazatomprom's India supply deal as a large long-term contract that signals more Kazakh production being committed to eastern sovereign buyers, tightening availability for Western utilities. He discusses opaque contracting terms, utility inventory practices, producer forward sales, and expected production declines at major mines, plus Kazatomprom's sulfuric acid constraints and value-over-volume strategy. Huhn outlines how contract structures have shifted from fixed pricing to market-referenced contracts with floors and high ceilings, supporting upside price exposure. He cites key risks such as a major nuclear accident, while arguing supply deficits persist on a 5–7 year view. They cover “Project Vault” uncertainty, geopolitics, China's role in Namibia, data centers de-risking reactor life extensions, potential tech offtake financing for NexGen's Arrow, SMR progress in the US and Canada, conversion as a bottleneck, and his view that small-cap uranium explorers/developers offer strong equity upside with a $150–$200/lb price target. 00:00 Uranium Bull Case 00:38 Kazatomprom India Deal 03:45 How Much Supply Is Left 08:41 Sulfuric Acid Constraints 14:00 Contract Terms Shift 20:28 Bear Case Scenarios 26:42 Project Vault Impact 28:52 Deglobalization Strategy 31:26 Uranium Trade Diversification 31:59 Geopolitics In Africa 33:58 Namibia And China Control 35:38 Data Centers Demand Debate 36:38 Life Extensions And Upgrades 40:21 Hyperscalers Fund Uranium 44:39 Small Modular Reactors 50:01 Fuel Cycle Bottlenecks 53:32 Equity Upside And Cycles 57:07 Where To Follow Justin 58:26 Supply Fragility Wrap Up https://www.uraniuminsider.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

Ep.329International investing had a strong 2025, and 2026 is off to a promising start. But when we say “international,” what are we really talking about?Developed markets? Emerging markets? Europe? Asia?In this episode, Gabriel Shahin, CFP®, breaks down the real difference between Asia and Europe as investment regions—and why he's currently more bullish on Asia.Here's what we cover:• Why Europe had a strong 2025—but what actually drove those returns• How 60% of Europe's gains came from financials and industrials• The role of deregulation hopes and a strengthening yield curve• Why Asia's returns were driven by tech and communications• The massive earnings growth gap (20–29% in Asia vs ~4% in Europe)• How AI, semiconductors, digitalization, and innovation are shaping Asia• Taiwan Semiconductor vs ASML—valuation and growth comparison• Why demographic decline and overregulation weigh on Europe• How cultural momentum and government support fuel Asian growth• ETF exposure examples for diversified international positioningIt's not about loving one continent over another—it's about capital allocation.Asia is positioned around:– AI infrastructure– Semiconductor dominance– Digital expansion– Energy transition– Supply chain innovationEurope, while home to strong brands and select standout companies, faces:Slower earnings growth– Aging demographics– Regulatory friction– Higher structural energy costsThat doesn't mean avoid Europe entirely—but it does mean understanding where future growth is likely to accelerate.

Is 2026 about to be the biggest year for retail real estate in decades?Retail real estate doesn't move in a vacuum. It moves when consumers have a reason to act. 2026 is shaping up to be one of the strongest demand environments in decades because three massive global catalysts are converging at the same time: the World Cup, the Winter Olympics tailwind, and America's 250th anniversary.Major live events compress consumer hesitation. They create urgency. They create moments. And moments drive spending.The data already supports this. Global events generate massive marketing exposure, elevated brand awareness, and increased physical activity in retail corridors. But the real impact isn't just tourism, it's domestic behavior. People travel, gather, host, celebrate, and spend in ways they otherwise wouldn't. Retailers, restaurants, and physical destinations become the center of those moments.At the same time, the fundamentals of retail real estate remain exceptionally strong. Supply is constrained. Leasing velocity is accelerating. Tenants are competing aggressively for physical space, recognizing that stores do more than produce four-wall profit, they lower customer acquisition costs and drive digital growth.The narrative that retail is “technology resistant” completely misses the point. The physical store isn't fighting technology, it's enhancing it. Retailers are discovering that their digital performance improves when they open physical locations. Stores are no longer just revenue centers; they are strategic growth engines.This shift has fundamentally changed the leasing environment. Landlords are no longer chasing tenants to fill space. Tenants are racing to secure locations before competitors do.Retail isn't surviving. It's expanding. 2026 could be remembered as the year physical retail reasserted its full strategic value, not just as a place to transact, but as a critical platform for brand growth, customer acquisition, and long-term market share.What You'll HearWhy global events are creating a 2026 retail tailwind - How the World Cup, America 250, and stacked spending moments are driving incremental tourism, domestic travel, and real-world consumer activity.How live moments accelerate spending behavior - Why major events compress hesitation and push consumers from waiting to acting.The leasing velocity surge happening right now - What rising deal volume, stronger economics, and tenant expansion signal about retail confidence.Why retailers are in a land grab for physical space - How constrained supply has shifted the market and intensified competition for prime locations.Why physical stores power digital growth - How brick-and-mortar lowers customer acquisition costs and makes omnichannel performance more efficient.Why retail isn't tech resistant—tech needs retail - The strategic shift from clicks versus bricks to clicks because of bricks, and what that means for long-term real estate value.Chapters00:01 - Why I'm bullish on 2026The macro retail real estate fundamentals and why the outlook is stronger than the narrative suggests.02:08 - The olympics spending tailwind has already startedHow marketing exposure and brand promotion drive spending beyond the event itself.04:25 - Why the world cup will be a massive retail catalystTourism, domestic travel, and gathering behavior will drive incremental retail demand.06:36 - America 250 and the stacking of spending catalystsPatriotism, celebrations, and event sequencing create sustained spending momentum.08:51 - Leasing velocity is accelerating rapidlyReal-world leasing activity confirms strong tenant demand and economic confidence.10:41 - The myth of technology-resistant tenantsWhy framing retail as resistant to technology misses the real strategic shift.10:59 - Why stores drive digital growthPhysical locations lower customer acquisition costs and enhance overall brand performance.11:54 - The tenant land grab has begunRetailers are aggressively securing space before competitors lock in key locations.13:09 - Why physical retail is more valuable than everThe strategic role of stores is expanding beyond traditional revenue metrics.

If you work with commercial HVAC systems, you touch VAV boxes every day. But are they working with your air handler or quietly fighting it? In episode 535 of the Smart Buildings Academy Podcast, you step back from sequences and setpoints to look at VAV box control theory as a complete system. Because a VAV box is not just a damper and a reheat coil. It is a decision-making device balancing comfort, ventilation, and energy while the air handler tries to keep the entire building stable. When airflow, static pressure, supply air temperature, and ventilation minimums are not coordinated, you feel it in callbacks, energy bills, and unhappy occupants. This episode challenges you to think beyond individual points and start thinking system-wide. Topics Covered How VAV boxes and air handlers must coordinate to maintain stability Static pressure control and why reset strategies change everything Supply air temperature reset and its impact on airflow and reheat Ventilation minimums, occupancy, and indoor air quality control Reheat coordination and preventing simultaneous heating and cooling If you design, program, or troubleshoot VAV systems, this conversation will change how you approach your next project.

Are you spiraling because the narcissist replaced you with someone who feels like a massive "downgrade"?It's not about love; it's about logistics. As a self-aware narcissist, I'm explaining the concept of "Transitional Supply." This is the person we jump to out of pure necessity—because we need a place to stay, money for bills, or simply because we cannot stand to be alone with our own thoughts for five minutes.IN THIS LIVE, WE DISCUSS:The "Band-Aid" Supply: Why we choose someone who isn't our "type" just to fill a void.Convenience Over Connection: How housing, food, and financial stability dictate our next move.The "Palate Cleanser": Why we sometimes choose someone "easier" after a strong partner (Grade A) sets boundaries.The Lifespan of the Transition: Why these relationships usually burn out as soon as the narcissist gets back on their feet.Stop comparing yourself to the person who is just a temporary life raft.Connect with Lee:My Courses: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://courses.mentalhealness.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 1-on-1 Coaching Calls: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.me/mentalhealness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠All My Link: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://beacons.page/mentalhealness ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram/TikTok: @mentalhealnesssIf this episode helped you gain clarity, please leave a 5-star review on Spotify!

Bitcoin accumulation is approaching extreme levels at the same time cracks are beginning to show across the broader financial system. As trillions are wiped from global equities amid AI disruption fears, trade tensions rise, and short-term Treasury issuance surges, liquidity conditions are tightening and confidence in traditional markets appears increasingly fragile. Yet beneath the volatility, on-chain data suggests large players are quietly absorbing supply.

Are you "Grade A Supply" without even knowing it?Most people think narcissists target "broken" people. As a self-aware narcissist, I'm telling you that's a lie. We want the best. We want the person with the biggest heart, the most success, and the most to give. But there is a dark side to being "the best"—to a narcissist, you are a high-value asset that is ultimately replaceable.IN THIS LIVE, WE ARE DISCUSSING:The Anatomy of Grade A Supply: The 4 traits that make you an irresistible target.The "Reflector" Effect: How we use your light to hide our darkness.The Cold Truth on Replaceability: Why we can move on in 24 hours even after you gave us everything.Breaking the Pedestal: How to stop being "supply" and start being a person again.If you've ever felt like you were "special" to them only to be discarded like trash, this Live is for you.Connect with Lee:My Courses: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://courses.mentalhealness.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 1-on-1 Coaching Calls: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.me/mentalhealness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠All My Link: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://beacons.page/mentalhealness ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram/TikTok: @mentalhealnesssIf this episode helped you gain clarity, please leave a 5-star review on Spotify!

Jason discusses his transition from a nomadic lifestyle back to homeownership, reflecting on how capitalism efficiently provides global resources. His conversation with Michael Zuber shifts to the impact of artificial intelligence, which Hartman views as a long-term wealth creator despite its potential to cause short-term job displacement and widen the wealth gap. He predicts that while high-tech hubs like Silicon Valley may face local real estate risks due to AI-driven layoffs, the broader housing market remains a strong investment. Jason highlights a significant supply-demand imbalance, noting that the U.S. population has grown by millions since the 2008 recession while housing inventory has plummeted. Ultimately, Jason and Michael suggest that investors can find major opportunities by providing rental housing to a growing population in an increasingly digital economy. https://empoweredinvestorlive.com/ https://onerentalatatime.com/ #AIWealthCreator #JobDisruption #MoonbaseX #HousingInventory #WealthGap #CapitalismEfficiency #RealEstateInvesting #MinimalistNomad #TechMarketRisk #EmpoweredInvestor Key Takeaways: 0:00 The richest homeless man in the world 6:27 Artificial Intelligence and the wealth gap 14:57 Real estate and the short term pains vs. the long term gains 17:58 Chart: US population vs. Inventory and the Great Opportunity     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
