Podcasts about TAM

This week, we're switching things up a little... we've gone around the Mamamia office to find out exactly what fashion problems are keeping the team up at night. Tamara Holland and Lucinda Pikkat are answering them all. Ever wondered where fashion people actually get their inspiration? Hint: It’s not just doom-scrolling Instagram. Tam and Lucinda are opening up their little black book of resources, from the app that acts like a "fashion bible" to the Substack newsletters that predict trends before they happen. We're getting into which undies work best under those tricky slip skirts and which shoes you could walk all day in that aren't just a pair of sneakers. Lucinda's Budget: Havaiana's Slim Square Solid $44.99 Tam's Budget: Ceres Life Mila Short $59.99 Lucinda's Boujie: Angus The Label Ti Amo Silk Scarf $109.95 Tam's Boujie: Morrison Marnie Anglaise Shirt $299.00 GET YOUR FASHION FIX: Follow us on Instagram Want to shop the pod?

Az EU és Kína közötti tejháborúról volt szó. Kína ugyanis a mai naptól ideiglenes vámot vet ki az Európai Unióból származó tejtermékekre: ez pedig komoly ütést jelenthet az egyébként is nagy gondokkal küzdő európai tejpiacnak, köztük sok Magyarországon is jelen levő szereplőnek - mondja Braunmüller Lajos, az Agrárszektor főszerkesztője. 

 A folytatásban arról beszélgetünk, hogy minden jel szerint idén sem lesz fehér a karácsony − az ország nagy részén legalábbis biztosan nem. Bár napi szinten találkozunk a klímaváltozás esetleges visszafordíthatatlanságáról szóló híradásokkal, a riasztóbbnál riasztóbb előrejelzések ellenére láthatólag érdemben nem történik sok előrehaladás globálisan a negatív trend megfordítására. De vajon melyek ezek a sokat emlegetett billenési pontok, mikor várható az elérésük, és mindenekelőtt mire kell számítani, ha bekövetkezik a legrosszabb forgatókönyv? A témában Nemes Csaba meteorológust, környezetpolitikai szakértőt kérdezzük. Főbb részek: Intro – (00:00) Tejháború Kína és az EU között – (02:43) Billenési pontok a klímaválságban – (17:39) A Checklist az ünnepek alatt is jelentkezik izgalmas tartalmakkal: egy podcastben szerepel például Zsiday Viktor és Madár István, vendégünk lesz Móró Tamás, a Concorde vezető stratégája, Bendarzsevszkij Anton külpolitikai elemző, és Kökény László, a Corvinus Egyetem Turizmus Tanszékének vezetője is.

Seasonal depression isn't always obvious. Sometimes it looks like low energy, less joy, or feeling off without knowing why. Erin & Tam talk about how seasonal shifts affect mood, especially for millennial moms, and why honoring your capacity through gentle hobbies can be a form of self-care, not giving up. @theartofhobbyness www.artofhobbyness.com

"Public markets are behaving more like private markets. Private markets want to behave more like public markets. So actually, they're just one market.What's not the same is the level of research, information, data disclosure. Correct. That's the only difference. It's this information gap that, to us, is the single biggest opportunity now.We think over the course of the next five to 10 years, there'll be more trading venues, more liquidity providers, more market makers, more investor types—all of that. And I think what Smartkarma has always done is be the information flow for part of capital markets.In fact, that sort of 74 billion number, I think, is quite conservative. I've seen other estimates that are close to 120 billion. So it depends on what you see as sort of growth and what you see beyond. But regardless, I think it's very large numbers, and the ratio of exit to invested capital is extremely low. A 50 billion hole is a pretty big hole." - Raghav Kapoor, CEO of SmartkarmaRaghav Kapoor, CEO & co-founder of Smartkarma, joined us for a conversation on the launch of PvtIQ and the structural transformation of Asia's private markets. Drawing from his experience building Smartkarma's independent research platform, Raghav explained how client demand for pre-IPO coverage led to creating PvtIQ, an intelligence platform designed to bridge the critical information gap in Southeast Asia's private markets. We discussed the striking imbalance where $74 billion has been invested into the region's tech ecosystem but only $23 billion has been returned through exits, highlighting the urgent need for better data infrastructure and price discovery. Raghav shared unique insights on how families dominate the region's investment landscape, why private and public markets are converging into one, and his vision for PvtIQ to become the intelligence backbone supporting companies, investors, and regulators in bringing more transparency and efficiency to Asia's rapidly evolving private market ecosystem.Episode Highlights:[00:00] Quote of the Day by Raghav Kapoor[00:57]] Smartkarma launches PvtIQ for Asia's private markets[03:11]] Investors requesting coverage three years before IPO[04:08]] Supporting MAS equity market development program[05:24]] Singapore's public markets languished despite private growth[06:13]] Path from fundraising to public listing explained[08:37]] $74 billion invested, only $23 billion exits[09:45]] Companies need support to achieve IPO readiness[11:00]] Capital chasing deals shifted to improving disclosure[11:57]] Southeast Asia's extreme market fragmentation challenges[13:23]] Families dominate and influence Southeast Asian markets[14:38]] Lack of data creates serious structural challenges[19:01]] Private market investors transitioning from momentum investing[20:18]] Digital banks provide disclosure model for research[21:24]] Late stage private rounds resemble public IPOs[23:26]] Liquidity without information is just volatility[24:06]] Private and public markets converging into one[25:30]] Information gap is the single biggest opportunity[27:00]] Private market research TAM already $8 billion[28:57]] What great looks like: intelligence backbone for Asia's private markets[30:57]] ClosingProfile: Raghav Kapoor, CEO and co-founder, SmartkarmaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ragkap/Podcast Information: Bernard Leong hosts and produces the show.

A választási osztogatás már elkezdődött, de egy kicsit másképp néz ki, mint eddig. Ellentmondásos volt a költségvetési politika teljesítménye 2025-ben, a legérdekesebb fejlemények pedig most jönnek csak igazán, ennek pedig leginkább az az oka, hogy a költségvetés teljesen elvesztette horgony szerepét. A témáról Csiki Gergelyt, a Portfolio lapigazgatóját, makrogazdasági elemzőjét kérdeztük. 

 A folytatásban a pezsgőpiacról beszélgetünk Fiáth Attila nemzetközi borakadémikussal, aki amellett, hogy szakértői tippeket ad a karácsonyi-szilveszteri pezsgőválasztáshoz, segít azt is megérteni, hogy miért készít pezsgőt, habzóbort egyre több magyar pincészet.

A Note from James:One of my favorite conversations on this show was with Peter Thiel. Yes—PayPal, Facebook, Palantir, and a dozen other hits. I first ran this episode years ago, and the advice still holds up. The same stories, the same frameworks—and the same challenge to think from first principles. Here's Peter Thiel, one of the most influential entrepreneurs of our time. Episode Description:In this redux, James pressure-tests the core ideas from Peter Thiel's Zero to One—why competition is for losers, how real monopolies are built, and why starting “narrow” is often the only path to something huge. They cover Facebook's early moat (real identity), PayPal's network-effect wedge on eBay, and the “10x or nothing” bar for proprietary technology. Peter shares a contrarian read on bubbles, why biotech's slump may be opportunity, and how to hire, divide roles, and keep teams from fighting. The through-line: seek secrets, combine disciplines, and make something so different that it becomes its own category. What You'll Learn:How to pick markets the Zero to One way: start with a “small, winnable monopoly,” then expand in concentric circles. The four classic moats—and which to favor first: proprietary tech, network effects, economies of scale, and brand (with a bias toward real tech). A practical rule for virality vs. network effects: growth is a tactic; enduring value comes from the network that forms once users arrive. Team design that prevents internal warfare: make roles uniquely owned; if two people own the same thing, you're paying for a fight. How to hunt “secrets”: believe they exist, look where consensus is stale, and borrow from adjacent fields to see what specialists miss. Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] A Note from James — Why this conversation still ranks among the best. [03:00] Zero to One, in one line — “Do something new, different, fresh, strange.” [05:17] Competition vs. Capitalism — Why perfect competition kills profits; aim for uniqueness. [07:28] Facebook's original edge — Real identity as the breakthrough vs. MySpace's alt-persona culture. [09:14] Bits vs. Atoms — Stagnation outside software and how biology could become an information science. [12:05] Personality and perseverance — Why mild contrarian wiring helps founders ignore status games. [15:21] “10x or nothing” — The technology and/or experience must be an order of magnitude better. [17:00] Monopoly thinking, ethically done — Create abundance by creating something truly new. [23:30] The PayPal pre-history — Why long-running trust among teammates births more companies. [30:10] Early Facebook investment logic — College-only looked “small,” which was exactly the point. [32:03] Turning down $1B — The boardroom debate, optionality, and founder conviction. [36:23] Moats in practice — Picking the right advantage (and why brand alone is shaky). [37:06] Network effects ≠ virality — How value compounds after growth. [39:54] PayPal's wedge — eBay power-sellers and the $10 incentive as a growth accelerant. [41:22] Beware the “Chinese refrigerator” TAM slide — Start small, win big. [42:01] Uber vs. Airbnb — Investor bias and why some models get over- or undervalued. [44:18] Bubbles and the public — What changes across tech, housing, and today's “government bubble.” [48:00] War on cash & credit — Why Peter favors unlevered, opaque innovation over fixed income. [51:10] Biotech headwinds (and upside) — Regulation, Eroom's Law, and why sentiment can misprice breakthroughs. [53:50] Secrets — If you assume they exist, you'll be the one to find them. [57:56] Interdisciplinary bets — CS × biology; CS × transportation; why university silos miss the action. [59:51] Silicon Valley on HBO — The “Peter Gregory” caricature and what the show gets right.

Let's talk about the year I accidentally became everything I tell people NOT to do.You know that advice I've been giving for 15 years about not getting stuck in eternal student mode? Yeah, well, I completely shit the pooch on that one in 2025. I got so deep into learning and feminine energy that I basically turned into a gorgeously gormless worm with no exoskeleton, just vibing on the floor wondering why my business wasn't growing.Turns out? When you send 15 emails to your community instead of 50, stop creating content, and spend all your time in "receiving mode," things get a bit wobbly.But here's the beautiful thing about mistakes: they're fucking excellent teachers when you're willing to look at them honestly. And honey, I'm looking. Hard.In this episode, I'm spilling everything—the moments I lost my creative voice, the spreadsheet that kicked my ass back into gear, the friendship that saved my podcast, and all the experiments that actually worked (spoiler: there were some absolute crackers).This is for anyone who's ever overthought themselves into paralysis, bought seventeen courses and opened none of them, or wondered why their business stopped feeling like THEM. Come sit with me and Tam while we laugh about RSD, celebrate the wins, and map out what's coming next.Topics Covered:Overthinking vs. taking action in your businessBalancing feminine energy with masculine strategyThe three types of learners: Eleanor, Ruby, and IngridWhy I stopped creating (and how I started again)Learning mode vs. implementation modeTracking business metrics that actually matterExperimenting with new program formatsRunning masterminds and coaching differentlyKey Insights:Spending 10-20% of your time in learning mode is the sweet spot—any more and you're avoiding actionWhen you're too far into feminine/receiving energy without masculine structure, you become "gorgeously gormless"Your business data tells you when you're off track—I sent 15 emails instead of 50 and wondered why things felt wrongCreating content is lifeblood—for you and your businessSometimes you need accountability from a friend who'll say "bitch, where's my email?"The 100 creations in 30 days challenge can kickstart your creative flow againExperimenting with new formats (like backstage passes to your launch) triggers your obliger tendency in the best wayBody doubling works for content creation—recording with someone else changes everythingNotable Quotes:"I got my head stuck up my own asshole in overthinking mode. And the thing about overthinking mode is it's just not fun or sexy or adorable or enjoyable.""When I get too feminine energy influenced, I'm completely gormless—just no exoskeleton, no skeletal manner, anything.""Creating is my lifeblood and it's the business's lifeblood, and whatever I need to do in order to make that happen is time well spent."Who This Podcast Is For:Creative women entrepreneurs, neurodivergent business owners, and spiritual seekers who want honest conversations about building businesses that actually feel good—mistakes, magic, and all.Links & Resources Mentioned:Leonie Dawson's 2026 Goal WorkbooksThe Leonie Lab on InstagramLeonie Dawson's Brilliant Biz & Life AcademyCreative Goddess Embodied programBig Money Big Impact (21-day selling challenge)Momentum Mastermind2025 Dream Quest masterclassLove this episode?

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We are down a Tam and a Grace this week but push through with a limited crew.  Bel gets called out by Kodra for being entirely too comfortable with excessive grinds…  this time specifically talking about World Completion in Guild Wars 2.  Kirby Air Riders is a weird game and we talk a bout it.  Bel shares his extended thoughts about Path of Exile II and its current state as well as the Demon Bear being pretty freaking great.  Kodra has been trying to wrap up Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and talks a bit about that.  Ash is doing dumb things in Guild Wars 1 and apparently so is Kodra… so we talk about Guild Wars Reforged again.  Ultimately Sheep Raccoon is the sequel to podcast favorite Ultimate Chicken Horse and we once again recommend it.  Bel talks about the Paladin in Diablo IV and how it is almost as silly as the Last Epoch thorns build.  Kodra talks a bit about Blitz Chess and Thalen is back in Warframe and talks about that.   Topics Discussed: Bel's Grind Quotient Kirby Air Riders is Weird Path of Exile II Bear is Great Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Guild Wars 1 Nonsense Ultimate Sheep Raccoon  Diablo IV Paladin is Silly Kodra and Blitz Chess Thalen back in Warframe

“Najgorsza część publikacji zajmuje mi około 10 minut - tak zwany Human Touch.” Łukasz opisuje swój system automatyzacji publikacji Patoarchitektów, gdzie AI agents robią transkrypcję, generują SEO, intro i posty - ale ostateczny bottleneck to ręczne poprawianie, bo “wygenerowane posty wychodzą takim korporacyjnym marketingiem, że można rzygać tęczą.” Ironia: cała infrastruktura (K3s w Azure, Claude z MCP, OpenAI Agent SDK, Airtable, RenderForm) działa automatycznie, ale człowiek musi ratować jakość contentu. Stos technologiczny? Agent Jane pobiera transkrypcję przez HappyScribe, ekstraktuje linki z Google Drive Szymona, generuje podsumowania przez Anthropic Sonnet (najlepszy polski), a GPT-5 prowadzi główną logikę. GPT-5 mini sprawdza maile - “tani i wystarczający.” Drugi agent obsługuje sprzedaż szkoleń: dostaje webhook z EasyCart i automatycznie zakłada wydarzenie w kalendarzu, dodaje uczestników. Szymon: “To był killer feature.” Kluczowa lekcja? “Agenty stosujemy tam, gdzie na wejściu mamy gołego teksta lub bloba.” Przewidywalne rzeczy to zwykły kod - webhooks, crony, API. Event-driven architecture, gdzie “LLM nie czeka proaktywnie” - wzbudza go cron w czwartki o 18:00. Czy Twój stack publikacji też wymaga Human Touch, żeby nie brzmiało jak korpo? Sprawdź, zanim MCP wygeneruje Ci tęczowy marketing.

The second stop on our literary whistle stop tour of Edinburgh is The Writers Museum in Makars Court.Focussing on the three writers generally considered to be the great Titans of Scottish Literature: Robbie Burns, Sir Walter Scott & Robert Louis Stevenson.We have a wander round, read some poetry and look into why these fellas are so revered.We also go on a literary pub tour and have a chat with actor Mike Daviot, who just so happened to be an absolute font of knowledge about poetry and the Scots language.Turns out literary pub tours are one of our favourite kinds of tour! Now who could have guessed that?!So hop on board the Failing Writers Tour Bus and join us for a fascinating, if admittedly wholly inadequate look at three of the greatest writers, not just of Scotland, but the world.The Writer's Museum:https://cultureedinburgh.com/our-venues/writers-museumThe Literary Pub Tour we enjoyed:https://www.edinburghliterarypubtour.co.uk/Tam o' Shanter:http://www.robertburns.org.uk/Assets/Poems_Songs/tamoshanter.htmHopefully that's inspired you to take a closer look at the poems and novels of these absolute titans. More than that, maybe it's encouraged you to have a go yourself. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ožas zudums un izmaiņas rokrakstā - šīs ir vienas no savdabīgākajām iespējamajām pazīmēm slimībai, ar ko sirgst miljoniem cilvēku pasaulē. Viena no neirodeģeneratīvām saslimšanām, kas skar vairāk nekā 10 miljonus pasaulē, ir Parkinsona slimība. un šobrīd tā tiek uzskatīta par vienu no straujāk augošajām nervu sistēmas slimībām. Pazīstama ar izteiktu muskuļu trīci, kas laika gaitā apgrūtina gan runas, gan ikdienas darba spējas. Kā to diagnosticē, ārstē un pēta? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā skaidro P. Stradiņa klīniskās universitātes slimnīcas neiroloģes Ramona Valante un Krista Lazdovska. "Ja runājam par neiroģeneratīvajām slimībām, pie kurām pieder arī Parkinsona slimība, pasaulē tiek lēsts pēc epidemioloģiskiem datiem, ka šī ir viena no slimību grupām, kur sagaidāma epidēmija. Mēs parasti runājam par epidēmiju, par vīrusu slimībām, kas ātri izplatās. Kopumā, ņemot vērā, ka sabiedrībai ir tendence novecot, ilgāk dzīvot, mazāk nomirt no infekciju slimībām, no kardiovaskulārām slimībām, tad neirodeģeneratīvās slimības paliek aizvien biežākas un un izplatītākas visā pasaulē un arī Latvijā," norāda Ramona Valante. "Galvenais riska faktors joprojām ir vecums. Jo vecāki mēs kļūstam, jo lielāks risks ir šai slimībai," atzīst Krista Lazdovska. "60 gadu vecumā tas varētu būt viens līdz 5 procenti, 80 gadu vecumā jau vismaz 5% varētu slimot ar Parkinsona slimību. Bet skaidri pierādīta ir pesticīdu iedarbība. Francijā cilvēki, kas strādā lauksaimniecībā, var Parkinsona slimību kārtot kā arodsaslimšanu. Kopumā zinām, ka viss, kas ietekmē smadzeņu veselību, ietekmēs arī arī neirodeģenerāciju un iespējamu slimības attīstību. Gan sirds asinsvadu veselības aspekts, gan arī dažādas toksiskas vielas var būt iesaistītas, gan arī sporta trūkums, protams, arī ģenētiskie faktori." Ārstes norāda, ka ar Parkinsona slimību saslimst arī gados jauni cilvēki. "Tas ir mīts, kad Parkinsona slimība ir tikai vecāka gadagājuma cilvēkiem. Parkinsona slimība var parādīties jebkurā vecumā," atzīst Ramona Valante. "Kopumā Parkinsona slimību uzskata par multifaktoriālu, kas nozīmē, ka vairāki faktori iedarbojas, mēs nevaram pateikt, kurš ir tas viens un galvenais, kas ir palaidis to slimību. Un man šobrīd īsti nav skaidrs, kādiem tiem faktoriem ir jāsakrīt, lai beigās būtu Parkinsona slimība. Diemžēl viņa var arī parādīties 30-40 gados bez ģenētiskā fona." "Parkinsona slimību mēs varētu skatīt kā tādu daļēji lietussargu, zem kura apakšā var būt katram sava slimība, savi simptomi," skaidro Krista Lazdovska. "Bet pirmais, pēc kura spriedīsim, ka tā ir tieši Parkinsona slimība, šie pacienti kļūst lēnāki. Tas ir tāds pamatsimptoms. Mēs skatāmies, vai šis kustību temps ir zudis." Pacienti to izjūt dažādi. Kāds to izjūtu gaitā, ka kļūst lēnāks, soļu garums samazinās. Kāds izjūt, piemēram, kad kaut ko gatavo. No rīta grib uztaisīt omleti un kuļ olu, un roka pēc pāris tiem apgriezieniem kļūst arvien lēnāka. Lēnīgums ir pamatsimptoms. Tai pievienojas miera trīce. Ārste mudina nesatraukties tos, kam satraukumā nedaudz trīc rokas. Miera trīce ir "sarkanais karogs" Parkinsona slimībai. Cilvēks sēž mierīgi, neko nedara, rokas klēpī un skatās televizoru, un vienai rokai īkšķis vai plaukstas daļa patrīc. Tam pievienojas muskuļu stīvums. "Ja mēs runājam par klasisku Parkinsona slimību, šie simptomi sākumā ir vienpusēji, vienā ķermeņa pusē," bilst Krista Lazdovska.  "Ja pēkšņi vienu reizi neveikli sanācis notīrīt kartupeli, tas nenozīmē, ka ir slimība, jo Pārkinsona slimība viņa ir lēna un progresējoša. Izmainītās kustības paliek konstantas," papildina Ramona Valante.  Sākumā cilvēki nejūt tieši lēnīgumu, bet to, ka kustas citādi. Ja tās ir pāris reizes, par to nebūt jāsatraucas. Ja tas sāk traucēt ikdienā, tas ir brīdis, kad jāvēršas pie ārsta, jo Parkinsona slimība nepāriet.  "Ja cilvēks atnāk pie ārsta un pasaka: man šis sākas pirms mēneša, ārsts nedrīkst pat teikt, ka šī ir Parkinsona slimība. Mēs izvērtēsim pacientu, mēs paturam prātā, bet patiesībā, lai noteiktu, ka šī ir Parkinsona slimība, simptomiem ir jābūt vismaz trīs gadus," norāda Krista Lazdovska.  "Jautājums, vai tas nav novēloti? Diemžēl patiesība ir tāda, ka neviena neirodeģeneratīva slimību, tai skaitā Parkinsona slimība, nav izārstējama. Līdz ar to nevar nokavēt to, ko nevar izārstēt. Mēs varam ar medikamentiem un darbībām varam tikai uzturēt dzīves kvalitāti, bet ne izārstēt," atzīst Ramona Valante. Nacionālā Dabas muzejā turpmāk būs vērojama skeletiem veltīta ekspozīcija Mirkli pirms Latvijas Nacionālā dabas muzeja jaunās, pastāvīgās ekspozīcijas “Skeletārijs” atklāšanas esam satikušies ekspozīcijas zālē ar muzeja Zooloģijas nodaļas vadītāju, ornitologu Dmitrijs Boiko. Ekspozīcijā mūs ieskauj lieli un mazi visdažādāko dzīvnieku sugu skeleti un to daļas. No 11. decembra ikvienam to visu ir iespēja aplūkot jebkurā mirklī muzeja 5. stāvā. Dmitrijs Boiko kā ekspozīcijas darba grupas vadītājs norāda, ka “Skeletārija” ceļš iets vairākus gadus. Laika gaitā paši muzeja pārstāvji savu kolekciju papildinājuši ar jauniem galvaskausiem, bet, lai iegūtu pilnus dzīvnieku skeletus, atrasti lieliski sadarbības partneri - Latvijas Biozinātņu un tehnoloģiju universitātes Veterinārmedicīnas fakultāte Jelgavā. Tad uzsāktas sarunas, vai muzejs varētu deponēt fakultātes osteoloģiskās kolekcijas priekšmetus, un šim ierosinājumam gūta atsaucība. Tā tapis “Skeletārijs”. Savukārt muzeja vecākā ekoloģe Lauma Goldblate ekspozīcijā bijusi atbildīga par saturu un vislabāk zina stāstīt, pēc kāda principa “Skeletārijs” veidots. Atklājot ekspozīciju, Latvijas Nacionālā dabas muzeja direktore Skaidrīte Ruskule savā uzrunā norāda, ka līdz ar “Skeletārija” atklāšanu tiek pāršķirta vēstures lappuse. Ar “Skeletāriju” muzejs savā ziņā atvadās no kādreizējā ekspozīciju izteiktā vēsturiskā pieskāriena. Vienlaikus direktore uzsver, ka līdz šim nav pieredzēta neviena ekspozīcija, kurā būtu ieguldīts tik liels darbs eksponātu sagatavošanāS Skanot prieka čalām pēc “Skeletārija” atvēršanas, par savu darbu vēl pastāsta ekspozīcijas materiāla sagatavotāja un arī atsevišķu eksponātu restauratore Janta Meža. Lai eksponāti saglabātos ilgtermiņā, Janta tos mazgājusi ar ļoti smalkām smiltīm, dzeramo sodu, ūdeni, bet nolūzušās detaļas fiksējusi ar speciālu līmi. “Skeletārijs” Latvijas Nacionālajam dabas muzejam ir jauna latiņa, ne katram dabas muzejam ir šāda skeletu ekspozīcija, un, kā atklāšanā norādījis ekspozīcijas mākslinieciskā risinājuma autors Didzis Jaunzems, “Skeletārijs” pat atgādina dārglietu ateljē. 

In this episode, John Bradford, CEO of Pet Screening, ranked No. 879 on the Inc. 5000 in 2025. Joins Gene Hammett to talk about what it really takes to build a "category of one" business. Bradford shares how visionary leadership and relentless execution go hand in hand, why founders must be honest about the size of their total addressable market, and how underestimating demand can limit growth. He draws on Pet Screening's success in helping landlords manage pet policy compliance amid America's growing pet population, while also unpacking the importance of strong core values, genuine team engagement, and empowering individuals to contribute to sales in a collaborative culture. Along the way, Bradford reflects on learning from mistakes, taking full responsibility as a leader, and using real market feedback to sharpen strategy, offering practical, experience-driven insights for entrepreneurs focused on long-term growth and leadership. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 3:01 The Birth of Pet Screening 6:18 Creating a Category of One 8:10 Common Mistakes in Creating a Category 10:49 The Essence of Relentless Execution 12:27 Core Values That Drive Success 14:36 Living Your Values in Practice 16:27 Lessons from Leadership Mistakes 19:18 Conclusion and Call to Action Building a Category of One Starts with the Market John Bradford, CEO of Pet Screening, joins Gene Hammett to discuss what it takes to build a true category-of-one business, starting with the importance of market size. Bradford stresses that even the best ideas fall flat if they do not address a meaningful total addressable market (TAM). He cautions entrepreneurs against underestimating market potential, noting that ideas aimed at small audiences often remain side projects rather than scalable companies. A strong vision must be matched with a market large enough to support long-term growth. Solving a Real Problem at Scale Bradford explains how Pet Screening emerged from his background in property management and technology, identifying a widespread problem landlords face in managing pet policies. With roughly 160 million pets in America and a growing number of pet-owning households, the demand is substantial. Pet Screening's software helps landlords ensure pet policy compliance while reducing fraudulent emotional support animal claims, positioning the platform as a trusted, nationwide solution in the housing industry. Visionary Leadership, Core Values, and Execution The conversation turns to leadership, where Bradford shares how strong core values and daily execution shape company culture. He emphasizes that values must be lived, not just stated, and highlights Pet Screening's focus on equal opportunity, making an impact, and keeping work enjoyable. Bradford also underscores relentless execution, encouraging every team member to understand and support the product, including participating in sales. This shared ownership drives efficiency, creativity, and alignment across the organization. Learning from Mistakes and Listening to the Market Bradford openly discusses the role of mistakes in entrepreneurship, advocating for accountability at the leadership level rather than blame within the team. This approach builds trust and encourages innovation. He also highlights the importance of market feedback, urging founders to seek honest input beyond friends and family to refine ideas and validate demand. The episode concludes with practical insights on how visionary leadership, execution, feedback, and ownership intersect to drive sustainable growth, reinforcing that leadership and scaling are inseparable. Key Takeaways Vision alone is not enough successful category-of-one companies pair bold leadership with disciplined execution. Market size matters; even strong ideas struggle without a sufficiently large total addressable market (TAM). Solving a real, widespread problem creates momentum and positions a business for scalable growth. Core values must be demonstrated through daily actions to foster trust, engagement, and accountability. Involving the entire team in understanding and supporting sales strengthens alignment and execution. Effective leaders own mistakes, creating a culture where learning and innovation thrive. Market feedback is a strategic asset and should come from diverse, unbiased sources. Long-term growth is driven by the integration of leadership, culture, and continuous refinement of strategy.

Písal sa 18. jún 1945 a na železničnej stanici v Přerove sa stretli dva vlaky. V jednom cestovali vojaci z 1. československého armádneho zboru, ktorí sa vracali na Slovensko z vojenskej prehliadky na Staromestskom námestí v Prahe. V druhom cestovali karpatskí Nemci, ktorí sa vracali späť do rodných obci na Slovensko zo severozápadných Čiech, kam boli ešte v predchádzajúcom roku evakuovaní pred blížiacim sa frontom. Len čo veliaci dôstojníci začuli z vedľajšieho vlaku nemčinu, začali karpatských Nemcov legitimovať, vyvliekať z vagónov a hnať ich za mesto na návršie, ktoré miestni nazývajú Švédske šance. Tam sa následne v noci na 19. júna odohral masaker 265 ľudí. Mená všetkých členov 20-členného vraždiaceho komanda dodnes nepoznáme, s istotou vieme pomenovať len hlavných strojcov přerovského masakru, všetci vyviazli len s miernym, či vzhľadom na rozsah tohto zločinu s prakticky zanedbateľným trestom. Přerovský masaker však nebol ojedinelý prípad, podobných zločinov sa pri divokom vysídľovaní Nemcov po druhej svetovej vojne odohralo niekoľko. Čo do počtu obetí bolo zrejme najrozsiahlejšie vraždenie v Postoloprtech na Žatecku, kde v masových hroboch exhumovali 763 obetí. Zločin, ktorý sa odohral na Švédskych šanciach však osobitne zaráža brutalitou, keď veľkú väčšinu zabitých tvorili ženy a deti. A ako vyplýva z doteraz preskúmaných záznamov, nikto z hlavných páchateľov neprejavil ani neskôr žiadnu ľútosť nad vykonaným činom. Dnes je táto udalosť historikmi už pomerne podrobne spracovaná. Jedným z nich je aj Pavel Kreisinger z Filozofickej fakulty Univerzity Palackého v Olomouci, nedávno publikoval štúdiu v knižnej podobe s názvom Masakr na Švédskych šancích v souvislostech, ktorú vydalo Vydavatelství Univerzity Palackého. V podcaste Dejiny si približujeme nielen okolnosti zločinu, ale aj jeho (ne)potrestania. – Ak máte pre nás spätnú väzbu, odkaz alebo nápad, napíšte nám na ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠jaroslav.valent@petitpress.sk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠sme.sk/podcasty⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is a special replay of David George's conversation with Harry Stebbings on 20VC. David is a General Partner on a16z's growth team, and in this discussion he breaks down how he thinks about breakout growth investing: why great business models are now table stakes, where real edge comes from non-consensus views on TAM, and how to underwrite upside in a world of higher prices and increasing competition.They also dig into the mechanics behind the scenes: unit economics at growth, “pull vs push” products, winner-take-most market structures, and how David decides when to double or triple down on a company. Along the way, they touch on SPACs, the rise of crossover funds, single-trigger decision making, and how David manages fear, pressure, and performance over the long arc of an investing career. Resources:Learn more about 20VC: https://www.thetwentyminutevc.com/Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@20VCFollow Harry on X: https://x.com/HarryStebbingsFollow David on X: https://x.com/DavidGeorge83 Stay Updated:If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

In this episode of Tank Talks, host Matt Cohen sits down with global venture capitalist Alex Lazarow, founder of Fluent Ventures, to unpack the future of early-stage investing as AI, globalization, and shifting economic forces reshape the startup landscape. Alex brings a rare perspective shaped by 20+ markets across Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Asia, plus experience backing seven unicorns, from Chime to breakout fintechs worldwide.Alex shares insights from his unconventional path from academia-curious economist to McKinsey consultant, impact investor at Omidyar Network, partner at global firm Cathay Innovation, and now solo GP building a research-driven, globally distributed early-stage fund. He dives into why the best startup ideas no longer come from one geography, why AI has permanently rewritten the cost structure of company building, and how proven business models are being successfully reinvented in emerging markets and then exported back to the U.S.He also breaks down why small businesses may become more powerful than ever, the rise of “camel startups,” and what founders everywhere must understand about raising capital in a world where early traction matters more than ever.Whether you are a founder, operator, or investor navigating the next era of innovation, this conversation reveals how global patterns, AI tailwinds, and disciplined research can uncover tomorrow's winners.From Winnipeg to Wall Street: Early Career Lessons (00:01:17)* Alex reflects on growing up in Winnipeg and navigating a multicultural family background.* How early roles at RBC M&A and the Bank of Canada shaped his analytical lens.* Why he pursued economics, consulting, and academia before landing in venture.* The value of testing career hypotheses instead of blindly following one path.Building a Global Perspective Through McKinsey (00:06:42)* Alex describes working in 20 markets, from Tunisia during the revolution to Indonesia and Brazil.* Why exposure to varied cultures and economies sharpened his ability to spot emerging global patterns.* The framework he used to choose projects: people, content, geography.Entering Venture Through Impact Investing (00:08:05)* Joining Omidyar Network to explore fintech innovation and financial inclusion.* Early exposure to global mobile banking and super-app models.* The origin story behind investing in Chime.* Why mission-driven investing shaped his lifelong global investment thesis.Scaling Globally at Cathay Innovation (00:13:14)* Transitioning into a traditional VC role after Omidyar.* Helping scale Cathay from a $287M fund to nearly $1B.* Why he eventually left to build a more focused, research-driven early-stage fund.The Fluent Ventures Thesis: Proven Models, Global Arbitrage (00:16:45)* Fluent backs founders who take validated business models and execute them in new geographies or industries.* Investing between pre-seed and Series A with a tightly defined “10 business model portfolio.”* Why their TAM is intentionally much smaller, only 200–500 companies worth meeting each quarter.* Leveraging a network of 50 unicorn founders and global VCs to discover breakout teams early.Why AI Is Reshaping Early-Stage Investing (00:23:01)* AI has dramatically reduced the cost of building early products.* Increasingly, startups raise capital after launching revenue not before.* The new risk: foundational AI models may “eat” many SaaS products.* What types of companies will survive AI disruption.The Camel Startup & The Great Diffusion (00:28:14)* The “camel startup” concept: resilient, capital-efficient companies built outside Silicon Valley norms.* How software (and now AI) lets small companies “rent scale” once only available to big enterprises.* Why the next decade will favor startups that focus on durability, not blitzscaling.Why Silicon Valley Still Matters, Even for Global Founders (00:32:47)* Alex encourages founders to build in their home markets but visit Silicon Valley to raise capital and absorb cutting-edge ideas.* How one founder raised SF-level valuations while building in the Midwest.* The “global arbitrage” advantage: raise capital where it's abundant, build where costs are low.Where Global Markets Are Leading Innovation (00:35:41)* Why Japan is 5–10 years ahead in generational small-business transitions.Examples of B2B marketplace models thriving in India and now being imported to the U.S.* How construction marketplaces, industrial marketplaces, and embedded fintech platforms are spreading across continents.About Alex LazarowAlex Lazarow is the founder and Managing Partner of Fluent Ventures, an early-stage global venture fund investing in proven business models across fintech, commerce enablement, and digital health.

We're fresh back from MJBiz and breaking down everything: the people we saw, the energy on the floor, standout moments, and yes—Jesse's run-in with the “Angry” hot chicken.Each of us shares the surprises that caught our attention this year, along with our biggest learnings from the conference. From there, we shift into a forward-looking conversation about 2026: what to expect, how the hemp ban reshapes TAM, why Curaleaf exiting the hemp category matters, and which opportunities emerge (like CBD + Medicare) as others fade.We explore what the market might be missing—especially around enforcement, potential stays, capital flows, pricing, and state-level catalysts—and close with a conversation about what still excites us about working in this industry.

Join me as I review The Search for Power edited by Margaret Weis live! Share your thoughts on this second Tales of the War of Souls anthology, released by Wizards of the Coast on April 4, 2004. You can buy a copy here: https://amzn.to/4pq15AC  https://youtube.com/live/BWdlgmkHRnc About The Search for Power The latest Dragonlance anthology, featuring an introduction by Margaret Weis. This newest anthology focuses on the lives and ways of dragons in the era following the end of the New York Times best-selling War of Souls trilogy by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Edited by Margaret Weis and filled with a dozen stories from both well-known Dragonlance authors and a few newcomers, this is the first anthology to feature stories that take place in the current Dragonlance time period. Review Osuin's Treasure by Mark Sehestedt Subcommander Maros, Knight of the Lily Uthun, Knight of Takhisis Aithan, squire to Sil Euric of Solanthus Djerid, Nerakan Barbarian, guide, scout Illus Goiar Sir Isurlak, Order of the Skull Toras Cloram Baren, Lord Osuin's son, Sable's dragon spawn This is a great way to start an anthology! What a good story. It's filled with tension and fear, nearly palpable! We pick up with a Dark Knight company who came across a Solamnic knight company, and defeated them. One wagon went over a cliff as they were traveling toward Sanction. The manifest stated something about Lord Osuin't Treasure, but there was nothing in the wagon. Only a squire of a Solamnic Knight survived, and he wasn't speaking. They found a dying Knight who, when they told him the cage in the back of the wagon was empty, replied they would all die. But no one would say what the treasure was. Subcommander Maros took a finger from the squire, but he only repeated the oath. They began to travel toward Sanction and the Treasure caught up to them and started killing. Again, the tension of this unseen creature was great, and as men started dying, it only escalated. The creature wiped out the entire Dark Knight company. When Maros came to, he was being wanted by the squire. The treasure was Lord Osuin's son, taken by Sable the Black Dragon Overlord and turned into one of its Dragon Spawn. It left the squire alive for the kindnesses the squire showed it while transporting it. But Maros was dying, so the squire told him what and who the treasure was. This was well worth a read and I just love horror stories like this one. Loyalty by Richard A. Knaak Captain Salvas, minotaur captain, silver dragon Shield Commander Drako Jek, first mate, minotaur Volcanus, red dragon Oh man, this was great! A minotaur ship was scouring the seas looking for rebels and defectors, and arrived at an island as a storm set in. As the minotaurs were disembarking their captain, Salvas, left ahead of the others and found a cave with a massive dragon totem in it. He transformed into his true form, a silver dragon named Shield. He had been looking for the skull of his mate, killed by a red dragon named Volcanus, who was also killed by Malystrix. Shield could feel the death of Malys somehow, but when he went to destroy the totem, the spirit of Volcanus appeared. He would let Shield's mate's spirit leave the totem, if Shield let Volcanus' spirit in him as a new body. He refused and he was wounded by the awesome power of the spirit of Volcanus. Then his crew arrived, as he quickly shifted into minotaur form again. They took him to camp at the shore where he was pounded and healed for days. Then they knocked him out and he awoke under a net. They realised he was a dragon and they believed he was going to kill him. When Shield explained what he was doing and why, he told them all to leave so he could free his mates soul. They left on their longboats and Shield returned to succumb to Volcanus. But when he began to enter Shields’ body, he said he would not let his mates go free. Shield struggled, then suddenly the minotaurs all rushed in and started attacking the totem. They lost many of their crew, but the totem was destroyed and Shields’ mate was rescued in death. Shield woke to his first mate who explained the outcome and left the skull for him. They fought for the loyalty of their captain. It was such a moving story about brotherhood and loyalty. It reminded me of being in the military, and what any true friend would do, and I loved it all. Knaak knocks yet another story out of the park. The Dragon's Child by Nancy Varian Berberick Raven Thorn Inferno, red dragon What a fun story. Raven, a human thief, was scouring the mountains around Sanction for a dragon’s den to steal egg shells to sell. Since the return of the gods and magic, they were a premium with wizards for spell components. As he went in he saw the eggs all smashed and draconians entered. He ran from them, with his dragon egg shell, but they were taken by a kapak as he fled in the tunnels that are beneath Sanction. The great red dragon Inferno was returning to her lair when she noticed her eggs destroyed, and decided to try to cut off any escape by entering the tunnels near the lords of doom, but most were collapsed except for the volcanoes themselves. Raven continued to flee the Draconians, running into even more before running into a wyrmling. Apparently one of the dragon’s eggs hatched and the wyrmling followed him. He gave it water and hid it when the draconians got close. Eventually he came out of the tunnels into a massive cavern with treasure and the draconians were there, and started fighting when Inferno arrived and destroyed the draconians. The wyrmling told inferno the human was helping it, and the dragon offered a boon to the human, giving him some treasure and told him the way out. It was a great little tale and now I want a wyrmling. Four Ends by John Helfers Threxellex, red dragon Relk, sivak Gul, minotaur bandit L'Arth, pirate This was a quick tale about revenge. A woman and her son were taken by a red dragon's minion and brought to him. He believed two of his pirates were stealing from him, so he held the son and had the women lie to each of them in turn, convincing them to kill the dragon and each other for the treasure, and to rescue her son. They both agreed separately, greed convincing them of the act. When they got to the cave, the dragon killed them. Then the woman was brought back to the dragon, but she told him that her children were killed and the two pirates had killed them and wronged her. Now it was this dragon’s turn. The sivak and the child turned into silver dragons and killed the red with the woman watching. It was a nice little story that showed even dragons can be tricked, and more, good dragons are willing to work with humans when they are allowed to hunt down and kill evil dragons. I really liked the idea, and the idea of pirate towns in Dragonlance. I don't feel like we have enough of them. At the Water's Edge by Jamie Chambers Anar Sovralian, Qualinesti Elf Ebon Nightshadow, Black Dragon Kerasina, elf Ealthan, elf This was a great story, and I am not sure if it was a dream or not. The Elf Anar was trailing elves, and saw them talk with an individual. He went to the man and cast a charm spell on him to get information about where the elves had gone. With the information he traveled to the former lair of Ebon Nightshadow, a black dragon and former servant of Beryl. He was then caught by elves. He saw his wife, the reason he was searching for the elves, and pleaded with her to leave with him, but she refused. Convinced these elves abducted her, he fought them, only to once again be subdued. She told him that after their son died fighting to allow them to live in the dwarven tunnels, she came out and wanted to fight to reclaim their homeland of Quialinesti. But he believed the Dark Knight and Goblin hoards were too much, so he pleaded with her to leave with him. After she refused he started fighting the elves again, and they beat him down. His wife held him as he passed out and awoke in an alley, as if from a dream. I think this is a great story but the idea of a wife abandoning her husband for nationalism actually bothers me more than anything else. I understand wanting to fight for your homeland, but what then? Who will you share it with? Did you ever love your partner in the first place if you so willingly abandon them? It's tough to think about. Lake of Death by Dan Willis. Tendek, former Knight of Neraka Wylinger, kender Donnala, Tendek's twin sister, former Knight of Neraka I thought this story was going somewhere but I was completely wrong. Twins and former Knights of Neraka were traveling through Qualinesti after treasure seeking in the Plains of Dust with the kinder Wylinger, they came across a band of goblins and a donkey. They were tired of hauling this cart full of loot themselves, so they attacked the goblins, running them off, and took the Donkey. Wylinger named her Lesie, and they continued north. They eventually came to a massive lake with the name of Lake of Death, this is of course former Qualinost. They decided to make camp when they saw a boat, and decided to take it across the lake. Lesie was very difficult to get in the boat as she was afraid of the lake, and it turned out, with cause. The lake was haunted by the spirits of the dead. This freaked out the donkey who kicked the two former Dark Knight sin to the water, refusing to let them on board. As they continued through the lake, the kender convinced the donkey to let them aboard by promising to share their treasure with her. Then once on the other side of the lake, they disembarked and traveled to the green valley beyond. This story had a number of oddities in it. First, the kender got scared from the ghosts in the Lake of Death, but kender are supposed to be fearless, unless they are an afflicted kender, but Wylinger didn't show any signs of being afflicted. Then the donkey being able to understand the kender and humans, even making deals with them was nonsensical. I get that donkeys are known to be stubborn, but promising them food and treasure as if they understand it is ridiculous. Then to end it so abruptly, I wonder what the true purpose of this story was meant to be. The Dragonslayers by Douglas W. Clark Skerrith Dragonslayer Ragweed Pollenflower, kender Ruby Columbine, barmaid Targe, patron Borstan Dunnerth, mayer of Trader's Lot Grot, rancher A dragonslayer named Skerrith came to town and started boasting about his exploits in a tavern. The kender was awestruck and asked for more and more stories as the mayor appeared. He mentioned that the town was suffering over a dragon who had been killing the ranchers’ livestock. They offered the dragonslayer the opportunity to kill the dragon and save the town, for a price of course. THe dragonslayer said he would do it in the morgan and the barmaid backed him up when the patrons all said there were hours of light left to the day. That night the false dragonslayer tried to sneak out of the inn, but was interrupted by someone claiming the dragon had just struck. They all tried to once again get him to go out that night, but he refused and in the morning found his fake Dragonlance gone with the kender. The barmaid insisted ion going with him to find the kender and kill the dragon. As they searched they split up with storm clouds gathering. The dragonslayer found the kender who was making a cage and they heard a scream as they ran toward it, they saw the dragon resting in mud with a claw holding the barmaid down. As lightning flashed, the dragon got up and flew away, with the lightning reflecting off its copper scales. They returned to the inn with the dragon gone, the barmaid and dragonslayer married and took over the inn, and the kender told tales of how he slayed the dragon, with help, every night. It wa sa fun story, about the copper dragon, but I almost would rather have the Dragonslayer be outed, then make a deal with the copper dragon, thereby seeming to be a hero. But it was a fun story none-the-less. Inventory by Jean Rabe Gaspar, Hylar Dwarf Skarn Ironskyll, Niedar Dwarf A red dragon had snatched two dwarves from a mountain and brought them to her hoard. She had taken the hoard from a dead dragon and wanted it inventoried in context with a black dragon. The dwarves worked day and night cataloging the items, terrified of the red dragon, then one day a dwarf brought a magical mirror to the red and it vanished inside of it. The dwarves filled their pockets with as much treasure as they could carry and left to go to their respective town, when they were snatched up again by the black dragon the red was competing with. He thought they were random dwarves as he was scouring the trail the red had found them on. It was a fun little tale about dragons wanting to know exactly what is in their hoard, and its funny to consider they compete with literal lists of items between each other. I enjoyed the tale. Special Delivery by Jeff Grubb Edgar nunce Manifew, Gnome Raeja of the Crimson Sails, Minotaur Pirate Lord Toede What a great story! We get Lord Toede back, and he is in fact alive post War of Souls. The city of Flotsam has turned into a pirate town, led and controlled by Raeja, a minotaur, at the supposed behest of Lord Toede. The tax collector Edgar has learned of Gnomes who want to deliver music boxes to the town, but he knows the town wouldn't want any loud bangs and explosions that are customary with Gnome inventions, so he goes to investigate the goods himself. He discovers they actually work and are quite lovely, so he brings the gnome and his machines to the council, and Toede allows him entry to deliver goods, but Raeja speaks out against it. He demands the gnomes stay over a hundred feet away from the town at all times, except for deliveries, and Toede agrees, so do the gnomes. So when the first shipment comes, it’s pushed down the hill and crashes into the gates, destroying them, followed by many more wagons full of music devices, which all crash in turn. The gnomes are ordered to not use the gates anymore and to keep away from town, so they begin to catapult the deliveries. This infuriates Raeja who goes to collect a militia to eradicate the gnomes, but Edgar asks Toede if he can warn the gnomes. Toede agrees, and when he arrives at their quarry, they seem elated that the minotaurs and pirates are gathering to confront them, he brings Edgar into the town house,which itself catapults up into the air over flotsam where they drop more deliveries onto the minotaur and pirates heads, then crashes into the hillside. They all leave and it turns out Toede was tired of the pirates and used the gnomes to get rid of them. That toede is one sneaky hobgoblin, even in his advanced age. Marine Skies by Lucien Soulban Brysis, Female Dargonesti elf Veloxua, Female Dargonesti elf Quayseen, Male Dargonesti elf Minnow-Tyrant, Dolphin The World Gash This was another great underwater story. It featured three Dargonesti sea elves as they explore and map the deadly Desolation waters. Something is poisoning the corals, killing them, forcing sea life to abandon the area and sharks to move in searching for remnant food sources. They narrowly escape one shark and continue mapping the sea floor on their dolphin scout, Minnow-Tyrant's back. They discover a more salty portion of water in an area known as the World Gash, where the sea floor has dropped out of sight. They go to explore it only to discover it has a cloud of acidic water poisoning the area that they have to swim through. On the other side, they soon witness a volcanic eruption and even more of the sea floor above them crumbles, trapping one of them below, while the other two swim up to freedom. They need to report back to Watermere and Istar to warn the other sea elves of the rapid changes their sea is experiencing, and how it will affect all life underwater. I really love how the sea is another world altogether, but it is affected just as the surface is by the Dragon Overlords, or their sudden absence as in the post War of Souls era. Let's hope we get more of these wonderful stories in the future. Wyrm's Claw inn by Miranda Horner Tam Ceary, council member Argus Thornton, innkeep Elthan, cleric of kiri-jolith Brell, housekeeper Radley This was an unexpected tale. Tam Ceary ordered an exorcism for the inn owned by Argus Thornton. This closed the inn for a while, though Argus believes it was less about the mild nuisance of the ghost that did haunt the inn than the tab he demanded Tam to pay. When the cleric arrived they heard commotion in the kitchen to discover Tam near death with weapons sticking out of him. His wife was tired of his drinking and hitting her afterward, so it appeared she finished him before he could finish her. Then they hear a commotion upstairs. There were two ghosts now that were messing in the master’s room, yelling get out. The new housekeeper, Brell, pulled a ring off a necklace, claiming it was a wish ring and wished the ghosts to leave. Suddenly all was quiet, but that was enough for the innkeeper. He and the cleric left, leaving Brell with the inn. Then it was revealed that the ring was her wedding ring, and the two ghosts were her husband and daughter. She had gone after the dark knights that killed them, and killed them. Then returned to claim her old home. It was a great story that makes me want to run yet another one shot about a haunting. Coin of Adament by Kevin T. Stein Brek, Scout Wulfbunde, black wolf Bundesphar, wolf soldiers Captain Arana, scout, follows white lady Canus Another one of the Wulfbunde and Bundesphar stories. These disciples of the Dark Queen are created by Canus, who never explains who it is. But the other Bundesphar have started following Mishakal in the post War of Souls era as Takhisis is dead, but Brek and his wulfbunde refuse. They chase a chaos demon only to be nearly destroyed by it, and Mishakal shows up herself to offer them help. Instead they pick themselves up and wander away. Then Mishakal says that ‘Krynn's secrets are coming to destroy us, and they need the bundesphar. Is this in reference to the remnant Chaos minions, Mina, or some other threat that was never explored? We will never really know, but I am glad this set of stories is done. I like the premise of a wolf bound pair, but it needs to be fleshed out more, and extrapolated on to make complete sense. The Box by Paul B. Thompson Dunnar Bolly Agaran Umram the Chiseler Hundel, dwarf Zetan Sleeps W Well, I did not expect this. The story begins as an old man and his dog are leading a wagon through a town, when three thieves catch sight of him. They help him past a rut in the road then stalk him as he goes into the tavern. They look at his cart which has a sealed box in the back. THey try to pick it only to reveal a led-filled lock. They go into the tavern, and two of the thieves go to get horses so they can follow this man and his cart and rob him of it. They are certain it contains something valuable. They catch up to the man, stab him and take the box. They go into the wilderness and break it open to find another box, with no means of opening it. They deliver it to a fence who eventually builds a bonfire to melt its forged hinges, and the side reveals a phrase ‘Zetan sleeps within'. They leave the fire till morning when they return to it open and the smith dead. Soon men start going missing or are found dead and the thieves realize the box contained an egg that must have hatched. Now a dragonling was running around killing the keep’s residents. THe fence locks the thieves in the tower as the dragonling slowly stalks, then kills everyone. It leaves the thieves for last. When the deed was done the old man and his dog rode through the keep, explaining to the reader that they are curated to distribute a dragon’s young in this manner for trying to steal its treasure. This is their punishment. The story does a great job of setting up the horror of being stalked and hearing death all around you, it was really great. The Albino by Douglas Niles Dagger, Diamond, Albino,  This was an interesting first person narrated story about a black dragon during the dragon purge. She found a secret lair in a volcano and was raising her brood there. One of her hatchlings was a n albino and it was quickly shunned and brutalized by everyone. It took to crafting blocks of stone with its acid breath alone. One day it snuck off and the mother went after it. It was near a random Knight of the Rose when the mother caught it, killed the knight and his horses and punished the albino.This behavior would repeat regularly, and one day she went after the albino as it tried to fly. It was seen by a great red dragon that was going after it, and the mother hid and ambushed the bigger red. It was a difficult fight, but the mother black won, and once again, punished the albino. When they were all healed, it took all the brood to test flying and the albino took off into the sky. The mother gave chase and Malystryx flew out of the clouds after the mother. She fled as best she could but Malys found her wyrmlings and killed them all, then came after her again. She went into an underwater cavern she knew of and once inside, fighting for aid, she got to the end to find it blocked by square blocks her albino was forging. There the story ended, with her suffocating and ambushed by the very wyrmling she took care of. This is a great way of showcasing how brutalising children leads to brutal children. It made me think of the film The Good Son with Macaulay Culkin. This was a really good anthology of stories, while they are not all gold, they are really good, and much better than the preceding anthology in my opinion. If you are a fan of dragons, or dragonlance, you should read this anthology.

Arról a formációról, amely mára megkerülhetetlen szereplője a magyar jazzéletnek, és immár 40 éve áll töretlen sikerrel a színpadon. De hogyan lehet a kötelező sorkatonaságban töltött időből valami olyat kihozni, ami végül országos, sőt határokon átívelősikert hoz, és évtizedeken át szerez örömet a zenerajongóknak? És mi közemindehhez a hazai színházi élet krémjének? Ezen a héten Bényei Tamás, a zenekar egyik alapító tagja a Bebop vendége, és más érdekességek mellett erről is mesél.A műsor háziasszonya: Náray Erika.

Listen now: Spotify, Apple and YouTubeIf you've been hearing phrases like “taste is the only thing that will matter for PMs in the AI era” but aren't sure what that actually means—or more importantly, how to build it—this episode is for you.In this conversation, Marc and Ben sit down with Sachin Rekhi, founder, former LinkedIn product leader, and creator of LinkedIn Sales Navigator, to unpack the real mechanics of taste: where it comes from, how to sharpen it, and why it's already the defining skill of AI-native product teams.Sachin shares the frameworks he teaches inside companies and in his Reforge course—from Rick Rubin's “sensitivity & canon” model, to daily design-critique habits, to the patterns he saw across design-driven, metrics-driven, strategy-driven, and sales-driven org cultures.He also tells the untold story of how Sales Navigator went from a tiny skunkworks project to one of LinkedIn's biggest product lines—why social capital mattered, how he managed leadership skepticism, and how he used prototypes, real customer quotes, and narrative-building to secure executive conviction.Whether you're trying to level up your product intuition, navigate organizational taste cultures, or use AI without slipping into “AI slop,” you'll walk away with practical models you can apply immediately to your product work, leadership communication, and team workflows.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! Bel was partially dead, and then holiday travel happened, and as a result, we ended up taking a few weeks off without really intending to. We are back and hopefully for more than a few weeks, but given another holiday is looming, who knows. This week we talk about how all of the various ARPGs out there seem to have a contingency of aggro fans, and discuss the reasons why, but also why we are not quite as doomer on them.  Bel talks a bit about the release of the Druid and the Vaal league coming up in Path of Exile II.  Tam discusses a new Chinese MMORPG called Where Winds Meet, which seems to push Gacha elements aside and produce a really wild experience.  From there Grace discusses a Raid Healing Simulator if the form of Wild Growth, and Kodra, an alternate universe Donkey Kong Country in the form of Windswept. We have a revisiting of a topic we have discussed more than once, about why PVPVE fails… this time, how it ruins the otherwise joyful experience of Arc Raiders.  We wrap the show up with some rapid-fire topics about various books and media we have been consuming.   Topics Discussed: ARPG Players Angry Last Epoch Path of Exile Diablo IV Path of Exile II Druid and Vaal League Where Winds Meet Wild Growth Windswept PVPVE is Bad Revisited Short Topics

O lea la, e tatau ona e loto atu ia siitia pea lou tulaga e le Atua ao fa'aauau pea ona e auauna mo Ia. O le tulaga siitia i le malo o le Atua o le valaau e siitia matafaioi ma galuega faatino, I le suafa o Iesu, Amene.

When Tam o' Braan began marketing Scottish Tea from his Wee Tea Plantation, the response was astonishing. Upmarket retailers such as Fortnum and Mason and hotels from the Dorchester in London to the Balmoral in Edinburgh paid top prices for the supplies of this rare treat. Scottish farmers caught the bug and bought tea bushes from Tam's plantation that he promised were bred especially for harsh Scottish conditions. Magazines, national newspapers and even the BBC profiled the entrepreneur behind the innovations that were putting Scotland on the tea map of the world. The only problem was that Tam's business was based on lies. His name wasn't Tam o' Braan, he wasn't an award-winning tea grower and his tea certainly wasn't Scottish. Jaega Wise follows the story of Tam and his tea from the hills of Perthshire through the tea salons of London to Falkirk's Sheriff Court. Producer: Nina Pullman
