A gentle note for anyone concerned about the strong language in this episode: what you hear on this podcast is about a tenth of the language that circulates inside the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church itself. So if the odd f-bomb causes distress, you may wish to prepare yourself accordingly.In Part Two of our conversation, former member Dawson Ching returns to the Get A Life Podcast to speak openly about what it was like growing up inside the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church. Dawson describes life as a teenager in the cult, including his experience attending OneSchool Global, where students are raised in an environment with little exposure to the outside world and often leave without meaningful qualifications. He talks about growing up without music, television, normal friendships, or freedom — and the isolation, bullying, and pressure placed on young people simply for being different.We also confront the culture inside the PBCC, including racism and homophobia that Dawson says were openly normalized. He recounts the group's so-called “cultural food days,” where members dressed up as other nationalities in ways that revealed a disturbing lack of education and awareness — something even Dawson's friends outside the group have described as racism on another level.One of the most unsettling parts of this episode is Dawson's account of what happened when the PBCC's global leader, Bruce Hales, stayed at his family's home in Zürich. Dawson describes the intense preparation required for the visit, the atmosphere surrounding what many treated like a royal arrival, and the immense weight placed on Hales' opinions — remarks that could alter families' lives and leave lasting emotional damage.Dawson also shares how a teacher who showed concern for his safety as a young gay student was later fired, and how a false explanation was given to the students to hide what had really happened.The episode closes with Dawson speaking about the reality of leaving the PBCC, the pain of separation from family, and the life he has rebuilt since. He also introduces a new song born from the trauma and pressure he endured inside the system — a raw reflection on the world created under Bruce Hales' leadership — and offers powerful words for anyone inside the PBCC who may be quietly wondering if there is a way out.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/6uwmqfpk7dyamygoh5tff/Dawson-part-2.mp4?rlkey=tlye1nljmxkf069dkkd57njoe&st=ek1dm7f8&dl=0To share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meLink to GOFUNDME for legal suit against Cheryl and the Get a Life podcast- https://gofund.me/e976c9d77Get a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Link to Anchor/Spotify- https://open.spotify.com/show/4GhNv1hZp6tjfLyA4s6PMu?si=Gs5euyWpT4y7lOS8OTe4XAPreston Down Trust Decision-https://www.gov.uk/government/news/commission-publishes-report-on-the-preston-down-trustAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=drive_linkIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG

Episode 288 - The Father's Embrace What do you expect to find when you finally turn back toward God? Continuing their Lenten journey through the Prodigal Son, the friars arrive at the turning point of the story, the moment the son returns home. Expecting rejection, punishment, or distance, he instead finds something completely unexpected: the Father running toward him with compassion. In this episode, the friars reflect on the heart of the Gospel. The Father doesn't wait for perfection, explanations, or repayment. He runs, he embraces, and he restores dignity before a single word of apology is finished. Join us as we rediscover the mercy of a Father who never stops watching the road and who runs to meet us the moment we begin to come home.

Thinking "this is bad," then "my life is bad," then spiraling into a string of negative thoughts you didn't choose. Eckhart Tolle breaks down what's actually happening in that moment and why it matters more than you think. He walks through a practice you can do anywhere. The question is simple: How would I experience this moment if I didn't add any thought to it? What he's pointing to isn't positive thinking or reframing. It's something older and more fundamental. Most people live completely identified with the voice in their head. That narrator telling you how things are, how they should be, what's wrong, what's missing. Tolle explains how that voice builds a sense of self that feels like a burden. A heaviness people carry without realizing it's a story they're continuously telling themselves. The shift happens when you realize the narrative isn't reality. When awareness arises. When you can observe what your mind is doing instead of being trapped inside it. He's teaching you how to step outside the story and experience life directly. It's not theory. It's a practice that's been around for over 2,000 years, and it still works.

Tired of hearing, 'this is the best AI model ever?'

The best decision-makers aren't better at deciding. They're better at controlling when, where, and how they decide. It took me twenty years to figure that out. Most people spend that time trying harder: more discipline, more willpower, more resolve to think clearly under pressure. It doesn't work. That's when mindjacking wins. Not through force. Through […]

Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming part of how people think, reflect, and process their lives. But what role should it actually play in mental health?In this episode, Kristin Sunanta sits down with therapist and technology expert Jeremy G. Schneider to explore the evolving relationship between AI and therapy. Jeremy is a licensed marriage and family therapist, trauma-informed mental health coach, and former chief technology officer who now works at the intersection of emotional wellness and human-centered technology. Together, they explore how tools like ChatGPT can function as a kind of “thinking mirror” — reflecting our thoughts back to us and helping us notice patterns in the way we process emotions, relationships, and decisions. Rather than replacing therapists, AI may become a powerful companion tool for reflection, journaling, and practicing psychological skills like self-awareness and boundaries. Kristin and Jeremy discuss the opportunities, the risks, and why learning to use AI with intention and agency may become an important part of mental health in the years ahead.In this episode they explore:• how AI can support emotional reflection and interactive journaling• why some therapists are wary of AI — and why that may change• the concept of AI as a “thinking mirror” for understanding our own minds• how people can use AI safely while maintaining self-awareness and agency• how emerging tools may reshape therapy and personal growthJeremy also hosts free educational classes on Meetup where he teaches people how to thoughtfully and safely use AI tools like ChatGPT for reflection, emotional insight, and personal growth. He also writes about artificial intelligence, therapy, and mental health for Psychology Today.Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/buildonyourstrengths/events/313301636/Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/jeremy-g-schneider-lmsw-mftLearn more about Jeremy's work, workshops, and writing:https://buildonyourstrengths.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.

Many readers turn to Shakespeare for the beauty of his language or the power of his stories. But in Thinking Through Shakespeare, Oxford scholar David Womersley suggests that the plays offer something else as well: a way of exploring some of the deepest questions about human life. Womersley looks at tragedies like Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear to show how Shakespeare places audiences inside difficult moral and philosophical problems. The plays raise questions about identity, power, and the tension between doing what is right and doing what is personally advantageous. Rather than presenting clear answers, Shakespeare lets these ideas collide on stage. In this episode, Womersley explains how Shakespeare's plays become what he calls “crucibles” for thinking. As characters struggle with competing values and impossible choices, audiences go on that journey with them—testing ideas, reconsidering assumptions, and confronting the same enduring dilemmas that have shaped human thought for centuries.

Revolutionizing Digital Advertising: Strategic Insights into AI-Driven Campaign Management with Seva UstinovIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Seva Ustinov, the Founder and CEO of plurio, to discuss the seismic shift occurring within the digital advertising landscape. As managing ad spend across Google, Meta, and TikTok becomes increasingly fragmented and complex, Seva shares how autonomous AI agents are moving beyond simple data reporting to active execution. This conversation provides a masterclass for high-growth founders and marketing executives who are looking to bridge the gap between surface-level platform metrics and true bottom-line business outcomes.Navigating Complexity: The Rise of Autonomous Ad OptimizationThe primary bottleneck for modern marketing teams is the sheer volume of data generated across diverse sales funnels and advertising platforms. Seva explains that while traditional ad platforms optimize for immediate conversions—like a simple lead form submission—they often lack the visibility into deeper business goals, such as closed-loop sales or long-term subscriptions. This disconnect forces marketers into a grueling cycle of manual analysis and constant dashboard toggling. By implementing an autonomous agent that aggregates performance data across all channels, businesses can finally align their digital spend with their actual revenue cycles, ensuring that every dollar is attributed to a meaningful customer journey.Adopting AI in advertising is not about replacing human creativity, but rather acting as a force multiplier for strategic talent. An AI agent can handle the "grunt work" of identifying creative fatigue, reallocating budgets in real-time, and pausing underperforming segments across thousands of campaigns simultaneously. This level of granular management allows agencies and in-house teams to shift their focus away from repetitive tactical adjustments and toward high-level creative strategy and client relationship management. When the machine handles the math, the humans can focus on the mission, resulting in a more agile and responsive marketing engine that scales without a proportional increase in headcount.Ultimately, the goal of integrating autonomous agents like Plurio is to achieve a superior Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) through continuous, data-driven learning. Seva emphasizes the importance of the "human-in-the-loop" model, where the AI provides transparent, human-readable reasoning for every recommendation it makes. This transparency builds trust and allows marketers to maintain strategic oversight while the agent executes daily optimizations. For enterprises and growth-stage startups managing significant monthly spend, this approach transforms digital advertising from a cost center into a predictable, high-performance asset that evolves as quickly as the market does.About Seva Ustinov: Seva Ustinov is a tech visionary and the Founder and CEO of Plurio. With a background in building scalable marketing technologies, Seva is dedicated to helping companies navigate the complexities of digital acquisition through the power of autonomous AI agents.About plurio: plurio is an innovative AI platform that revolutionizes digital ad management by combining unified analytics with autonomous optimization. The platform connects to major ad accounts to analyze performance, identify inefficiencies, and execute campaign adjustments, helping businesses maximize their ROI with minimal manual intervention.Links Mentioned in This Episode:plurio Official WebsiteSeva Ustinov on LinkedInKey Episode HighlightsThe Full-Funnel Gap: Why standard ad platforms often fail to optimize for long-term business goals and how AI bridges that data void.Autonomous Execution: The shift from passive dashboards to active agents that can pause, scale, and reallocate spend in real-time.Force Multiplying Creativity: How AI frees up marketing agencies to focus on high-level strategy rather than manual spreadsheet analysis.Combating Creative Fatigue: Using AI to proactively spot when ad assets lose effectiveness and rotating them before ROI drops.Transparency and Trust: The "Human-in-the-Loop" model that provides clear reasoning for every AI-driven campaign adjustment.ConclusionThe conversation with Seva Ustinov makes it clear that the future of digital advertising lies in the synergy between human strategy and autonomous execution. By leveraging AI to handle the complexity of multi-channel optimization, leaders can ensure their growth is driven by data rather than guesswork.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Unlocking Advanced Tax Savings: How Strategic Trusts Empower Entrepreneurs with Sally GimonIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Sally Gimon, a dedicated Investor and tax strategist at The Trust is You, to dismantle the common frustrations business owners face during tax season. Despite having experienced CPAs, many entrepreneurs find themselves blindsided by massive tax bills—a pain point Sally knows intimately from her own early days in real estate. Their conversation dives into the specialized world of non-grantor irrevocable spendthrift trusts, a legal framework used by America's wealthiest dynasties to protect assets and defer taxes. This episode serves as a vital resource for high-achieving founders looking to move beyond basic deductions and into the elite level of wealth preservation.Beyond Compliance: Why Your CPA Might Be Missing Millions in SavingsMost business owners rely solely on their CPAs for tax advice, but there is a fundamental gap between tax compliance and specialized trust law. CPAs are expertly trained in the tax code, yet only a tiny fraction of professionals are versed in the nuances of contract law and the specific IRS codes that govern complex trusts. This often leads to a "compliance trap" where entrepreneurs follow the rules perfectly but still overpay because they aren't utilizing the same legal structures as the Rockefellers or the Kennedys. By bridging this gap, business owners can move from a reactive state of paying what they're told to a proactive state of legally shielding their hard-earned capital.The core of Sally's strategy revolves around Tax Code 643(b), which allows certain types of trusts to defer capital gains and passive income legally. While the IRS may issue memos expressing disapproval of aggressive strategies, it is important to remember that only Congress has the power to change the tax code itself. For business owners with appreciating assets like real estate or intellectual property, these trusts offer a dual benefit: significant tax deferral and robust asset protection from creditors or lawsuits. Implementing these structures requires a shift in mindset, moving away from "income management" toward "asset orchestration" within a protected legal entity.Ultimately, the goal of advanced tax planning is to provide the founder with more liquidity to reinvest in their mission and legacy. Sally emphasizes that these tools are not "loopholes" but are established parts of the American legal system designed to encourage long-term investment and wealth stability. By leveraging educational resources and weekly masterminds, entrepreneurs can demystify these complex structures and determine if they are ready to implement a spendthrift or beneficial trust. Taking control of one's tax destiny is about more than just numbers; it's about ensuring that the value created by the business remains within the family or the organization for generations to come.About Sally GimonSally Gimon is an experienced Investor and a leading advocate for tax education through her platform, The Trust is You. After facing a nearly six-figure tax bill early in her real estate career, she dedicated herself to uncovering the wealth-preservation secrets of the ultra-wealthy. Today, she helps business owners across 165 countries understand trust law to protect their assets and slash their tax burdens.About The Trust is YouThe Trust is You is an educational and strategic resource center focused on democratizing advanced tax-saving tools. The company provides video courses, weekly mastermind sessions, and specialized consulting on non-grantor irrevocable spendthrift trusts. Their mission is to empower entrepreneurs with the knowledge to legally minimize taxes and protect their legacy using proven trust frameworks.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeThe Trust is You Official WebsiteSally Gimon on LinkedInKey Episode HighlightsThe CPA Limitation: Understanding why compliance-focused accounting often overlooks advanced wealth-preservation strategies.The Power of 643(b): How this specific tax code allows for the legal deferral of capital gains and passive income within a trust.Asset Protection: Why spendthrift trusts are the gold standard for shielding your business and personal assets from litigation.The "Rockefeller" Strategy: Lessons from America's wealthiest families on using contract law to maintain multi-generational wealth.Democratizing Knowledge: How Sally's free resources are making elite tax strategies accessible to small and medium-sized business owners.ConclusionThis conversation with Sally Gimon highlights that while the tax code is complex, it contains powerful provisions for those willing to look beyond standard accounting. By integrating trust law into your financial strategy, you can transform your relationship with the IRS and keep more of your wealth working for you.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Stress doesn't stay at work. It follows you home and seeps into your marriage. In this episode, I share a real example of a couple whose stressful roles were quietly creating impatience and distance between them. We explore a powerful exercise: identify the three things you truly need to feel fulfilled — no more than three — and protect what makes you come alive. When you recognize that you're making a choice to stay in a stressful role, you move from resentment to empowered action. Sometimes you can't change the circumstance, but you can change how you think about it and how you show up. And when you do, your life, and your relationship,begins to feel different. Thinking about ending your marriage and want to do it in a way that feels clear, calm, and intentional? Enroll in Divorce Differently (https://sharonpope.com/divorce). Inside this mini course, I'll walk you step-by-step through how to move through separation with love and grace so you can protect your peace, your integrity, and the people you care about most.

Building Healthy Leadership Teams: Strategic Insights from Stacey Bailey of The Intention CollectiveIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Stacey Bailey, Senior Consultant at The Intention Collective, to explore the foundational elements of high-performing organizational culture. Stacey, an expert executive coach, shared how small to medium-sized businesses can move past the friction of "moving goalposts" to establish sustainable growth through clear strategic planning. Their conversation provides a masterclass for founders and executives on how to bridge the gap between visionary thinking and daily execution by fostering deep clarity and robust accountability rituals.Cultivating Operational Excellence Through Clarity and 90-Day RhythmsFor many entrepreneurs, the greatest barrier to scaling is not a lack of vision, but a lack of consistent operational rhythm. Stacey explains that clarity is the cornerstone of a healthy leadership team; without it, ambiguity breeds resentment and stalls momentum. When leaders fail to be explicit about expectations, they inadvertently create "unkind" environments where team members feel set up for failure. By adopting a "clear is kind" philosophy, organizations can eliminate the hidden friction that slows down decision-making and project delivery, allowing the team to move in unison toward a shared objective.A central framework discussed in the episode is the implementation of 90-day planning rhythms. Human attention spans and motivation levels naturally fluctuate, often waning after approximately three months. By breaking down annual visions into quarterly sprints, leaders can maintain high levels of engagement while remaining agile enough to pivot based on real-world data. This structure prevents the common visionary trap of constantly shifting priorities mid-stream, which often leads to team burnout. Instead, a defined 90-day finish line provides the team with a predictable cadence of "doing" and "reflecting," ensuring that progress is documented and celebrated before the next set of goals is established.Ultimately, building a resilient leadership team requires a commitment to "frustration tolerance" and a growth mindset. Stacey uses the metaphor of learning a new craft to describe the leadership journey—it requires patience, a willingness to make visible mistakes, and the discipline to stick with a process until it yields results. Accountability in this context isn't about micromanagement; it is about creating a "system and soul" toolkit where feedback loops and weekly check-ins become the lifeblood of the culture. When leaders model vulnerability and invite honest critique, they build the psychological safety necessary for their teams to innovate and take the calculated risks required for long-term market leadership.About Stacey Bailey: Stacey Bailey is a Senior Consultant and executive coach at The Intention Collective. With a background in helping diverse organizations navigate growth and change, she specializes in helping leadership teams align their internal culture with their external strategic goals. She is a proponent of using structured rhythms to drive both professional excellence and personal fulfillment.About The Intention Collective: The Intention Collective is a consultancy dedicated to helping small and medium-sized businesses build healthy, high-performing cultures. By combining strategic planning with leadership development, they provide organizations with the tools to create clarity, implement accountability, and drive sustainable growth. Their "System and Soul" approach ensures that both the tactical and human elements of a business are optimized for success.Links Mentioned in This Episode:The Intention Collective Official WebsiteStacey Bailey on LinkedInKey Episode HighlightsFrustration Tolerance in Leadership: Why embracing the "messy middle" of learning new skills builds the resilience needed to lead through uncertainty.The Clarity Mandate: Implementing Brené Brown's "Clear is Kind" principle to eliminate team resentment and improve execution.90-Day Sprint Rhythms: How to align organizational goals with natural human attention spans to maintain year-round momentum.Defining "Done": Strategies for founders to stop moving the goalposts and start celebrating measurable milestones with their teams.System and Soul Toolkit: Creating feedback rituals that move accountability from a chore to a core cultural value.ConclusionThe conversation with Stacey Bailey highlights that organizational health is a continuous practice, not a destination. By committing to clear communication and structured planning cycles, leaders can transform their teams from a group of individuals into a cohesive, high-impact leadership unit.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Send a textWhat happens when students stop memorizing information and start connecting ideas? In this episode, I talk with Derek Schutte and T.J. Warsnak about how hexagonal thinking helps students build those connections, and why it leads to some of the most meaningful classroom discussions.If you've ever wanted students to move beyond memorizing information and instead start making meaningful connections, this strategy does exactly that. Hexagonal thinking asks students to place ideas next to each other, explain why they belong together, and defend their reasoning. The result is a classroom full of discussion, debate, and deeper thinking.During our conversation, Derek and T.J. share how this approach helps students slow down, think more carefully about relationships between ideas, and collaborate in ways that make learning visible. We also talk about what it looks like in real classrooms and why giving students space to justify their thinking can lead to some of the best learning moments.If you're looking for a way to spark richer conversations and help students see the bigger picture in what they're learning, this episode might give you a new strategy to try.You can purchase Edugons at www.edugons.com!Quick note: This isn't a sponsored episode.

Navigating Grief, Leadership, and Global Opportunity: Strategic Insights from Carl ManlanIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Carl Manlan, a prolific Author and the Head of Partnerships and Business Development at AGRA. Their wide-ranging conversation delved into the profound intersection of personal loss, empathetic leadership, and the immense economic potential within African markets. Carl, who also co-hosts the Inside the Blueprint Podcast with his daughter, shares how his poetry collection, I Can Breathe, serves as a vessel for processing grief and transforming it into a leadership strength. This episode provides a masterclass for executives and founders on how to cultivate more humane, resilient workplaces while staying attuned to the intergenerational shifts shaping the future of global business.From Personal Reflection to Empathetic Organizational DesignThe modern executive often operates at a pace that leaves little room for the "inner work" required to lead with true empathy. Carl Manlan advocates for a radical return to self-reflection, citing his own practice of a 120-day writing course as the foundation for his professional clarity. By dedicating time to pause and reconnect with formative experiences, leaders can dismantle the stoic barriers that often hinder authentic connection with their teams. This process isn't merely therapeutic; it is a strategic alignment tool that allows a leader to recognize that their employees are whole people who carry invisible burdens—including grief—into the workspace every day.Creating an empathetic work environment requires moving beyond performative sympathy toward structural support. Carl emphasizes that grief is a manifestation of love and a universal human experience that doesn't simply vanish at the office door. Leaders must normalize conversations around mental well-being and loss, providing "space rather than just sympathy." This means building flexibility into operational workflows and fostering a culture where vulnerability is modeled from the top down. When a leader acknowledges their own humanity, it gives the entire organization permission to be resilient, ultimately reducing burnout and increasing long-term employee engagement.Furthermore, the conversation highlighted the necessity of intergenerational dialogue in future-proofing an organization's culture. Through his work with his daughter, Carl demonstrates that the next generation of innovators—particularly in emerging markets like Africa—view the world through a lens of digital fluency and social impact. For businesses looking to tap into the "Africa that exists"—a continent of 1.4 billion people driven by youth and entrepreneurship—the approach must be one of partnership rather than paternalism. By bridging the gap between established leadership wisdom and the fresh curiosity of the youth, organizations can unlock new narratives of hope, healing, and unprecedented economic opportunity.About Carl ManlanCarl Manlan is a celebrated Author, poet, and international development professional.

What actually separates Catholic and Protestant belief, and does it still matter? In this Hot Topic teaching, Pastor Russell Howard walks through four major areas where Catholicism and evangelical Christianity converge and diverge, covering the canon of Scripture, the authority of the Bible alone, the veneration of Mary and the saints, and the nature of justification before God. At the heart of the conversation is one defining question: is Christ's work on the cross a finished act or a contribution to an ongoing process? Whether you grew up Catholic, left the faith, or simply want to understand what you believe and why, this teaching gives you a biblical framework to think clearly and speak charitably.

In the second of our two-part panel discussion from Morgan Stanley's TMT conference, our analysts break down the complexity of financing AI's infrastructure and the technological disruption happening across industries.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Michelle Weaver: Welcome back to Thoughts on the Market, and welcome to part two of our conversation live from the Technology, Media and Telecom conference. I'm Michelle Weaver, U.S. Thematic and Equity Strategist at Morgan Stanley. Today we're continuing our conversation with Stephen Byrd, Josh Baer and Lindsay Tyler. This time looking at financing AI and some of the risks to the story. It's Friday, March 6th at 11am in San Francisco. So yesterday we spoke about AI adoption. And while there's a lot of excitement on this theme, there've also been some concerns bubbling up. Lindsay, I want to start with you around financing. That's another critical component of the AI build out. What's your latest on the magnitude of the data center financing gap, and what role [are] credit markets playing here? Lindsay Tyler: Yeah, in partnership with Thematic Research, Stephen and team, and colleagues across fixed income research last summer, we did put out a note, thinking about the data center financing gap, right? So, Stephen and team modeled a $3 trillion global data center CapEx need over a four-year timeframe. So, in partnership with fixed income across asset classes, we thought: okay, how will that really be funded? And we came to the conclusion that the hyperscalers, the high quality hyperscalers, generate a good amount of cash flow, right? So, there's cash from ops that can fund approximately half of that. But then we think that fixed income markets are critical to fund the rest of the funding gap. And really private credit is the leader in that and then aided by corporate credit and also securitized credit. What we've seen since is that yes, private credit has served a role. There is this difference between private credit 1.0, which is more of that middle market direct lending. And then private credit 2.0, which is more ABF – Asset Based Finance or Asset Backed Finance. And what we see there is an interest in leases of hyperscaler tenants, right? We've also seen in the market over the past nine months or so, investment grade bond issuance by hyperscalers. Obviously, a use of cash flow by hyperscalers. We've seen the construction loans with banks and also private credit per reports. We've also seen high yield bond issuance, which is kind of a new trend for construction financing. We've seen ABS and CMBS as well. And then something new that's emerging in focus for investors is more of a chip-backed or compute contract backed financings, like more creative solutions. We're really in early innings of the spend right now. And so, there is this shift. As we start to work through the construction early phases, the next focus is: okay, but what about the chips? And so, I think a big focus is that, you know, chips are more than 50 percent of the spend for if you're looking at a gigawatt site. And it depends what type of chips and kind of what generation. But that's the next leg of this too. So, it's kind of a focus, you know, for 2026. Michelle Weaver: And how do you view balance sheet leverage and financing when you think about hyperscaler debt raising magnitude and timelines? Lindsay Tyler: So just to bring it down to more of a basic level, if you need compute, you really might need two things, right? A powered shell and then the chips. And so, if you're looking for that compute, you could kind of go in three basic ways. You could look to build the shell and kind of build and buy the whole thing. You could lease the shell, from, you know, a developer, maybe a Bitcoin miner too – that is converted to HBC. And then you kind of buy the chips and you put them in yourselves. Or you could lease all the compute; quote unquote lease, it's more of a contract. In terms of the funding, if you're thinking about the cash flows of some of the big companies – think of that as primarily being put towards chip spend. If you're thinking about the construction that's kind of split between cash CapEx but also leases. And so, what we've seen is that there is more than [$]600 billion of un-commenced lease obligations that will commence over the next two to five years, across the big four or five players. And then my equity counterparts estimate around [$]700 billion of cash CapEx that needs this year for some of those players as well. So, these are big numbers. But that's kind of how, at a basic level, they're approaching some of the financing. It's a split approach. Michelle Weaver: And what have you learned around financing the past few days at the conference? Anything incremental to share there? Lindsay Tyler: Sure. Yeah. I think I found confirmation of some key themes here at the conference. The first being that numerous funding buckets are available. That was a big focus of our note last year is that you can kind of look at asset level financing. You can look at public bonds, you can look at some equity. There are these different funding buckets available.The second is that tenant quality matters for construction financing. I think I've seen this more in the markets than maybe at this conference over the past two to three weeks. But that has been a focus of pricing for the deals, but also market depth for the deals. A third confirmation of a key theme was around the neo clouds and also the GPU as a service business models. Thinking about those creative financings, right. Are they thinking about from their compute counterparties? Would they like upfront payments? Might they look to move financing off [the] balance sheet, if they have a very high-quality investment grade rated counterparty? So, there is some of this evolution around those solutions. And then a fourth key theme is just around the credit support. And Stephen has and I have talked about this around some of the Bitcoin miners – is that, you know, there can be these higher quality investment grade players that might look to lend their credit support. Maybe a lease backstop to other players in the ecosystem in order to get a better pricing on construction financing. And we are seeing some press pickup around how that might play out in chip financing down the road too. Michelle Weaver: Mm-hmm. AI driven risk and potential disruption has been a big feature of the price action we've seen year-to-date in this theme. Stephen, what are some asset classes or businesses you see as resistant to some of this disruption? Stephen Byrd: We spend a lot of time thinking about, sort of, asset classes that are resistant to deflation and disruption. And what's interesting is there's actually a handful of economists in the world that are doing remarkable work on this concept. That they would call it the economics of transformative AI. There are three Americans, two Canadians, two Brits, a number of others who are doing really, really interesting work. And essentially what they're looking at is what do economies look like? As we see very powerful AI enter many industries – cause price reductions, deflation… What does that do? They have a lot of interesting takeaways, but one is this idea that the relative value of assets that cannot be deflated by AI goes up. Very simple idea. But think of it this way, I mean, there's only, you know, one principle resort on Kauai. You know, there's a limited amount of metals. And so, what we go through is this list that's gotten a lot of investor attention of resistant asset classes or more of the resistant asset classes that can go up in value. So, there are obvious ones like land, though you have to be a little careful with real estate in the sense that like, office real estate probably wouldn't be where you would go. Nor would you potentially go sort of towards middle income, lower income housing. But more, you know, think of industrial REITs, higher-end real estate. But there are a lot of other categories that are interesting to me. All kinds of infrastructure should be quite resistant, all kinds of critical materials. Metals should do extremely well in this. But then when you go beyond that, it's actually kind of interesting that there; arguably there's a longer list than those classic sort of land and metals examples.Examples here would be compute… Michelle Weaver: Mm-hmm. Stephen Byrd: I thought Jensen put it, well, you know, if there's a limited amount of infrastructure available, you want to put the best compute. And ultimately, in some ways, intelligence becomes the new coin of the realm in the world, right? So, I would want to own the purveyors of intelligence. It could include high-end luxury. It could include unique human experiences. So, I don't know how many of y'all have children who are sort of college age. But my children are college age, and they absolutely hate what they would call AI slop.They want legit human content, and they seek it out. And they absolutely hate it when they see bad copies of human content. And so, I think there is a place in many parts of the economy for unique human experiences, unique human content, and it's interesting to kind of seek out where that might be in the economy. So those would be some examples of resistant assets. Michelle Weaver: Mm-hmm. Josh, software's been at really the center of this AI disruption debate. How would you compare the current pullback in software multiples to prior periods of peak uncertainty? And do you think any of these concerns are valid? Or how are you thinking about that? Josh Baer: Great question. I mean, software multiples on an EV to sales basis are down 30 – 35 percent just from the fall, I will say. And that's overall in the group. A lot of stocks, multiple handfuls, are down 60-70 percent over the last year. And what's being priced in is really peak uncertainty, a lot of fear. And these multiples, now four times sales – takes us all the way back about 10 years to the shift to cloud. And this time in many ways reminds us of that period of peak fear. In this case, what's being priced in is terminal value risk. We talked about this TAM yesterday. But you know, who is going to win that share? How is it divided from a competitive perspective across these model providers? The LLMs with new entrants. Of course, the incumbents. And this other idea of in-housing. Michelle Weaver: Mm-hmm. Josh Baer: So, there's competitive risk, there's business model risk. Are companies going to need to change their pricing models from seat-based to consumption or hybrid. And then last margin risk. Just thinking about the higher input costs and higher capital intensity. And so, you know, all of those fears are being priced in right now. Michelle Weaver: And we, of course though, had a bunch of these companies live with us at the conference. How are they responding to some of these risks? How are they addressing these investor concerns? Josh Baer: Most of the companies here from our coverage are the incumbent software vendors. And I think that the leadership teams did a really nice job coming out and defending their competitive moats and really articulating the story of why they are in a great position to capitalize on the opportunity. And the reasons can vary across different companies. But some of the commonalities are around enterprise grade, trust, security, governance, acceptance from IT organizations.The idea of vibe coding all apps in an organization get squashed when you actually talk to companies and chief information officers. For some companies there's proprietary data moats, network effects. All of that's on top of existing customer relationships. And so, you know, that was the message from the companies that we had. That we're the incumbents. We get to use all of the same innovative AI technology in the same way that all these different competitive buckets do. But we have, you know, that differentiation in that moat. And so, we're in a good place. Michelle Weaver: I want to wrap on a positive note. Stephen, what did you hear at the conference that you're most excited about? Stephen Byrd: I'd say the life sciences. A few investors pointed out that perhaps AI has a PR problem these days. And I do think showing a significant benefit to humanity in terms of improved health outcomes, whether that's just better diagnosis, you know. Away from this event, but I was in India the week before and, you know, AI can have a powerful benefit to the people who suffer the most in terms of providing very powerful medical tools in a distributed manner. So, I'm a big fan there.But you know, in many ways, curing the most challenging diseases plaguing humanity. The kind of problems involved in providing those and developing those cures are perfect for AI. So that, for me – stepping way back – that is by far the most exciting thing. Michelle Weaver: Josh, same to you. What are you most excited about? Josh Baer: From my perspective, it's potentially the turning point for software. The ability to showcase that we are at this inflection point and acceleration. To actually see that it takes time for our software companies to develop new AI technologies. Put that into products that have been tested and proven and go through the enterprise adoption cycle. And that we're at the cusp of more adoption – that's what our survey work says. And to see that inflection, I think can help to rerate this sector. Michelle Weaver: Lindsay, same question for you… Lindsay Tyler: Maybe I'll tie it to markets. I've already had a lot of more conversations with equity investors over the past, how many months? There's a big fixed income focus right now, which is a great, you know, spot and really interesting opportunity in my seat. And there's a lot of interesting structures coming to be right now in the credit space. So, I think it's an exciting time.
