Is AI about to disrupt white-collar jobs, or is this simply a market rotation disguised as panic?Anthony Cheung and Piers Curran break down the so-called “AI scare trade” that hit software, payments and advisory stocks, even as the S&P 500 stayed broadly flat.We unpack the viral 2028 AI thesis from independent research firm Citrini, the sell-off in companies like Salesforce and IBM, and whether hedge funds amplified the move.We also explore the rise of “HALO stocks” and what the latest earnings from Nvidia tell us about AI demand, hyperscaler spending and the next phase of the cycle.A sharp look at market psychology, AI disruption and what's really driving volatility beneath the headlines.(00:00) AI Scare Trade(02:32) The Catalyst(10:53) HALO Stocks Rotation(17:52) Citrini's 2028 Thesis(27:27) The Reality Check(31:34) Nvidia Earnings(38:19) Agentic AI Inflection
The delicious, healthful prune has long had a cross to bear: It's best known for making people poop. In the late 1990s, the California Prune Board set out on a quixotic mission to amend this sales-flattening reputation. It would attempt to rechristen this ancient fruit in the hopes the prune could one day be as unencumbered as an apricot, a raisin, or a fig. In a world where every product and person increasingly believes it's one good rebrand away from changing how they are seen, the story of the prune's attempt to become the “dried plum” is a telling tale about the impossibility of escaping who you really are—and the freedom that comes with self-acceptance. You'll hear from Richard Peterson, retired Executive Director of the California Prune Board; food writer and chef David Liebovitz; lawyer and lobbyist Dan Haley; and Kiaran Locy, Director of Brand and Industry Communications at the California Prune Board.This episode was written by Willa Paskin.

In this episode of The Girl Dad Show, host Young Han sits down with Red Boswell, President of the International Franchise Professionals Group (IFPG), longtime franchise executive, and father of three, for a wide-ranging conversation on entrepreneurship, parenting, and building a life rooted in growth and strong relationships. Red brings more than 30 years of executive leadership across franchising, marketing, and entrepreneurship. As President of IFPG, he has helped grow the organization into the #1 franchise broker network, recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine for seven consecutive years. Prior to IFPG, Red founded and scaled a 148-unit pet-service franchise system, launched a franchise and marketing consulting firm, and held senior growth and CEO roles within global franchise organizations. At the heart of this episode is Red's perspective on fatherhood and family. He shares what it's been like raising three entrepreneurial-minded children, navigating the transition into an empty-nest season, and why communication and intentionality are essential as kids grow more independent. Red also opens up about learning through failure, the importance of knowing yourself as a leader, and how maintaining a strong partnership with his wife has anchored both his personal and professional life. They explore franchising as a vehicle for opportunity, the often-underestimated role of franchise consultants, and why balancing ambition with family presence is key to long-term fulfillment. Red also touches on the hobbies and passions that keep him energized, from off-road electric skateboarding to water sports. ✨ All episodes of The Girl Dad Show are proudly sponsored by Thesis, helping founders go further, together. Takeaways Why knowing yourself is foundational to entrepreneurship How failure becomes a catalyst for growth Raising kids with an entrepreneurial mindset Navigating the empty-nest transition Communication as the backbone of strong relationships The power of franchising as a growth vehicle Why family and work-life balance matter more than ever

The Assurance of Hope in Christ's Return Terror and dread are often how we can still feel about Jesus' return. Talk of the end times sounds either like the world's worst conspiracy theory, or feels just too complex to figure out. And yet, the Scriptures talk about the coming day of the Lord... Kenny's guest on this episode of TheoDisc is Dr Sydney Tooth, and she says that 1 & 2 Thessalonians have a particularly rich message of hope in the coming of Christ, and that they are texts that should be opened more by the church. So they have been talking about Paul, Thessalonians, and the return of Jesus. Enjoy!

In this episode of The Girl Dad Show, host Young Han sits down with Dave Hansen, CEO of ClientTether, longtime sales leader, and father of four, for an honest conversation about parenting, leadership, and building meaningful relationships in both business and family life. Dave shares his unconventional path from tech into franchising, what he's learned from leading sales teams for over 20 years, and how coaching franchise systems has shaped his view on people, growth, and accountability. But at the heart of this conversation is fatherhood. Dave opens up about becoming a young parent, navigating one of his son's leukemia diagnoses, and how that experience permanently shifted his perspective on presence, structure, and what truly matters. He and Young explore why validating effort matters more than outcomes, how structure and discipline create freedom for kids, and what it looks like to prepare children not just for careers, but for life. They also dive into Dave's aspirations as his kids move toward adulthood, his vision for traveling and working remotely as an empty nester, and why creativity, hobbies, and hands-on experiences (yes, including blacksmithing) still matter. ✨ All episodes of The Girl Dad Show are proudly sponsored by Thesis, helping founders go further, together. Takeaways Dave Hansen is CEO of ClientTether and a father of four His transition from tech into franchising reshaped his career Relationships are everything in business and parenting Parenting is a constant journey of learning and adaptation Validating effort builds confidence in children Structure and discipline set kids up for long-term success A child's leukemia diagnosis changed Dave's parenting lens Creating meaningful opportunities for kids matters more than titles Life after kids includes new seasons, goals, and adventures Creativity and hands-on hobbies help build well-rounded humans

In this special deep dive episode, Peter is joined by his Carta Insights colleague Hamza Shad to unpack the operational reality of running a venture fund. They leave behind portfolio performance metrics to focus entirely on the business of the fund itself.Peter and Hamza break down the data from Carta's inaugural Fund Economics report. They analyze how much capital GPs are actually committing to their own funds, why anchor LPs are taking larger stakes, and whether the industry standard "2 and 20" fee structure is actually holding up.They also discuss the hidden costs of fund operations, from legal fees to audits, and why the 2022 vintage is deploying capital slower than its predecessors. Plus, they answer audience questions on recycling capital, managing lines of credit, and why marking up SAFEs on SAFEs is a red flag for LPs.Subscribe to Carta's weekly Data Minute newsletter: https://carta.com/subscribe/data-newsletter-sign-up/Explore interactive startup and VC data, with Carta's Data Desk: https://carta.com/data-desk/Chapters:00:00 – Intro: The business of the fund02:30 – GP Commit: How much skin in the game?04:40 – Why PE managers commit more than VCs05:58 – The rise of the Anchor LP10:38 – Capital Calls: Timelines and delays15:30 – Why the 2022 vintage is deploying slowly19:53 – Is "2 and 20" still the standard for fees?23:00 – Carry benchmarks across fund sizes25:40 – The rarity of preferred returns in VC27:00 – Operating Expenses: Legal vs. Tax costs28:58 – Why audits are becoming mandatory31:33 – The danger of marking up SAFEs33:22 – Managing Manco expenses35:24 – Q&A: When to call capital41:35 – Q&A: Valuation methodology and stale marks44:18 – Q&A: Secondaries and recycling capital47:58 – Q&A: Thesis drift49:28 – OutroThis presentation contains general information only and eShares, Inc. dba Carta, Inc.

Super Bowl LX had everything, from ads for weight loss drugs and male grooming products to spots touting tax prep services and calming fears about our AI overlords. It also had one outstanding halftime performance from Bad Bunny. But what the game didn't have was a whole lot of car ads. (Or a whole lot of touchdowns, but that's a different story.) Why, after dominating the broadcast for decades, has the automobile industry gone cool on one of broadcasting's biggest nights? And what did the few cars ads that did run say about the state of the nation and American culture at this particularly fraught moment in time? Ian Chillag—creator and host of the award-winning Radiotopia podcast "Everything is Alive," the co-host of NPR's "How to Do Everything," and a senior producer of "Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me"—joins us to break it all down.

In today's episode of the Milk Road Show, we sit down with Bill Barhydt, founder of Abra, to zoom out on one of the most violent crypto drawdowns in years and explain why price action is telling a very different story than fundamentals. Bill has lived through multiple 70%+ Bitcoin drawdowns. In this conversation, he breaks down why this crash looks scary, why it feels worse than it is, and why long-term investors may be focusing on the wrong signals.~~~~~

Grant is the Founder & CEO of Blocmates, and 563 is Head of Research.Crypto is winning, but tokens aren't. Headlines that would have pumped markets 30-40% in 2021 barely move prices today. There's a massive disconnect between fundamentals and price action--record adoption, institutional integration, real-world use cases, yet token prices are bleeding.

In this episode of The Girl Dad Show, Young Han sits down with Trace Miller, Founder and CEO of Konala, a fast-growing healthy fast food concept built around one simple idea: make nutritious food delicious, convenient, and accessible. Trace's story starts long before Konala. As a child, nutrition played a critical role in helping him overcome serious health challenges, shaping how he thinks about food, discipline, and long-term well-being. That perspective eventually led him from running a food truck to building Konala, a drive-thru protein bowl concept designed for people who want to eat better without slowing down their lives. Throughout the conversation, Trace shares how family support has been foundational to his journey, why patience is one of the most underrated skills in both parenting and business, and how he stays present with his kids while scaling a brand. He also opens up about personal growth, continuous learning, and what it takes to build a business that actually solves a real problem. This episode is a reminder that success does not have to come at the expense of health or family. With the right values and intention, you can build something meaningful while still showing up for the people who matter most. ✨ All episodes of The Girl Dad Show are proudly sponsored by Thesis, helping founders go further, together.

A rag tag trio of criminals are tasked by the devil, to hunt down an outlaw trying to outrun his debt. https://www.instagram.com/nightielightie/ https://kmoore304.myportfolio.com/ What motivated you to make this film? This was my college thesis, and my passion project I have been working on for several years. What motivated me was the characters I crafted along the way, and ths wonderful preformances the Voice actors gave to the characters. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film? It took me around 10-11 months of work. How would you describe your film in two words!? Questionable Protagonists What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film? My biggest challenge was making time on top of other classes. As a transfer student my senior year I was doing 3-4 animation classes on top of my Thesis. So time management was super hard when you have to do over hundreds of frames for different projects. There are 5 stages of the filmmaking process: Development. Pre-Production. Production. Post-Production. Distribution. What is your favorite stage of the filmmaking process? That's difficult to say, as I love the whole process. But if I had to, I really enjoyed the pre-production, and the production. Once I get my idea I love to tweak and edit it. Polishing and getting all the assets and characters done. I want to say once I got the ok by my professor, I just ran off leash. Made tons of work for the pre-production book, as well as completing the backgrounds. ——- Subscribe to the podcast: Tweets by wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

There's Mayor Anne Hidalgo in Paris and former Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante, just to name two. Why is that so? That's the question explored by our guests, urban mobility experts Melissa and Chris Bruntlett, in their new book: Women Changing Cities: Global Stories of Urban Transformation. The Bruntletts discuss the qualities that have allowed these leaders—along with women planners, advocates, and policymakers—to reshape their cities to benefit people, not cars. When women lead, cities thrive. This bonus episode was recorded live at the Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre in Coral Gables, Florida.

In this episode of The Girl Dad Show, Young Han sits down with Stephen Mellott, CEO of EPTI and President of HSI, for a grounded conversation about leadership, family, and what it really takes to build a meaningful legacy. Stephen operates a manufacturing business serving refineries and power generation systems, but his story starts far from boardrooms. He was raised in the middle of nowhere on a working ranch, the only boy among three sisters, with a father who was often away for work. That upbringing shaped how he parents today: understanding, but firm, and deeply intentional about presence. As a dad to two daughters, Lilly (14) and Madeline (almost 12), Stephen talks openly about how parenting is not one size fits all. His girls are completely different humans, and that reality has forced him to adapt, listen more, and lead differently at home just as he does at work. Throughout the episode, Stephen emphasizes a few non-negotiables: Integrity cannot be compromised, whether you are leading a company or raising kids. Respect matters in every role, father, husband, leader. And partnership is everything. Stephen is clear that while single parents can absolutely succeed, his ability to operate at a high level in business is directly tied to the support of his wife. She is his partner in all of it, carrying the load when he cannot and helping keep the family grounded. His advice is simple and honest: work with your partner, do not freak out, and trust that it will be okay. After all, our parents did not have it all figured out either. This conversation is not about perfection. It is about persistence, humility, and showing up with integrity even when you are learning in real time. ✨ All episodes of The Girl Dad Show are proudly sponsored by Thesis, helping founders go further, together.

Jay Hatfield thinks the fallout from the Japanese bond market will reverse and is targeting 8,000 on the SPX by year end. He anticipates lower inflation and the 10-year falling below 4%, along with 3 rate cuts. Jay is not worried about international bond holders dumping their holdings, arguing that other people will simply buy it. He contrasts the GDP vs GDI reports and why traders might use the latter. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Can you trust that viral “Bible connection” you just saw on TikTok? In this episode, Matt Swale, author of Terms, Themes, and Thesis, joins Dr. Dru Johnson to discuss how biblical allusions really work—and why we need better instincts and better tools when interpreting Scripture. Swale wrote the book to help lay readers and undergraduates navigate the exciting (and sometimes overhyped) world of intertextuality: how one passage of Scripture evokes another, often subtly, and with profound rhetorical effect. They explore his criteria for spotting allusions—rare terms, thematic coherence, and rhetorical fit—while affirming the emotional and spiritual value of hunting for connections. From Genesis 3 and Luke 24 to Judges 19 and Genesis 19, Swale shows how true allusions enrich our understanding, while false positives can mislead or confuse. Swale also urges humility: “You want to make sure it's real,” he says. “False positives are part of the process.” He encourages listeners to use tools like reference Bibles, read in community, and learn from scholars—while warning against treating academic access as priestly gatekeeping.

In this episode of the Milk Road Show, Jeff Park explains why that feeling may be exactly the point. Beneath the surface, the Bitcoin thesis is winning while attention, leverage, and volatility are being actively suppressed. Institutional adoption is real, regulatory clarity is advancing, and distribution channels are being built, but none of it looks or feels like past bull markets.~~~~~
We talked with Dr. Bruce Appleyard, who has spent a lifetime thinking about what we mean when we talk about liveable streets—and why it is so important that we build our cities with human beings in mind, first and foremost. Bruce's research makes an appearance in Life After Cars, and his father, Donald Appleyard, was a legend in this field for his work that led to the indispensable book Livable Streets, published in 1981. In 2020 Bruce published Livable Streets 2.0, which brings his father's book up to date while preserving its core principles and teachings. We talked with him about how streets can foster (or erode) social ties in our communities, how car-centric infrastructure harms children's ability to navigate, and how we can fulfill what his father called "the promise of our streets."

Carthage, Rome, and Imperial DeclineThe final debate explores the historical destruction of Carthage to illuminate the modern American Empire's troubled trajectory and uncertain future. Germanicus advances a provocative thesis: the United States now more closely resembles Carthage—a wealthy, financialized, multicultural mercantile power relying on paid soldiers and foreign contractors—than the cohesive, destiny-driven Republic of Rome whose citizen-soldiers conquered the known world through shared sacrifice. They observe how historical narratives are invariably shaped by victors, noting that figures from Napoleon to modern filmmakers consistently utilize defeated enemies like Carthage or the Nazis to define national identity and justify present ambitions. A striking reversal emerges from their analysis: Russian propaganda now appropriates Roman symbols of martial virtue, disciplined unity, and civilizational mission, while the United Statesappears increasingly as a "flabby empire of financial usury" potentially facing its own Carthago delenda est moment at the hands of more vigorous rivals. The discussion concludes with a somber warning drawn from Byzantium's fall in 1204, when Crusaders who should have been allies instead sacked the great city: a disunited nation lacking shared vision and collective willingness to sacrifice stands vulnerable to sudden, catastrophic collapse, potentially ending the "American Empire" far sooner than its citizens imagine possible.1450 VIRGIL: DIDO WELCOMES AENEAS TO CARTHAGE
In this episode of The Girl Dad Show, Young Han sits down with Derek Notman and Adam Holt, co-founders of REBL Dads, for an honest conversation about the collision of fatherhood and entrepreneurship. Derek shares his journey growing up in a broken household, becoming a young father himself, and navigating entrepreneurship without the support system he needed most. He opens up about the moment he realized that being a dad is hard, being an entrepreneur is hard, and trying to do both without community can feel overwhelming and isolating. Together, Derek and Adam talk about why existing communities often focus on either business or parenting, but rarely both. When they couldn't find a space that supported the full reality of being a dad and a builder, they decided to create it themselves. The conversation explores the importance of shared experience, honest support, and building something meaningful not just for success, but for sustainability. This episode is for founders, operators, and dads who have ever thought, “There's gotta be a better way.” ✨ All episodes of The Girl Dad Show are proudly sponsored by Thesis, helping founders go further together.

We're back from the break with a brand new episode of The Girl Dad Show. In this solo reflection, Young Han looks back on the lessons, challenges, and growth that shaped 2025, both personally and professionally. From the evolution of the podcast to navigating leadership bottlenecks in his businesses, Young shares what worked, what didn't, and what ultimately forced him to grow. He opens up about how his views on financial freedom have changed, especially as they relate to parenting, time, and long-term security for his family.

Joseph Campbell, the visionary author behind The Heroes Journey, once wrote:"People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't think that's what we're really seeking. I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive."Today's guest, leadership coach, organizational consultant, and wellbeing expert, Vivien Tai in many ways has picked up where Joseph Campbell left off.

Signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, otherwise known as the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act, ushered in an unprecedented era of roadbuilding in the United States, becoming the largest public works project in the country's history. Designed to spread freedom and prosperity — and, as the name implies, provide for the national defense — these highways tore through urban neighborhoods, destroying once-thriving communities and displacing countless citizens, many of them people of color. In this special report, we examine just what inspired this massive project and the effects it had on two communities, one in New Orleans and one in Syracuse.

We always nerd out, but in this episode we're joined in our geek sesh by the incredibly charming, brilliant and funny Lindy West (she/her) and Meagan Hatcher-Mays (she/her) to discuss (drumroll!) The Lord of the Rings trilogy. As you may already know, Hannah and Marcelle share a love of JRR Tolkien's world and in this episode they finally get to discuss Peter Jackson's adaptation from the early aughts.The episode begins with an overview of the books' popularity in the middle of the 20th century and their lasting impact on fantasy and science fiction literature, television and film. Hannah then offers some context for the release of The Fellowship of the Ring. Together, we consider the desire by the public to escape in a post 9/11 world and the fantasy of a pastoral utopia! Hannah then offers some theory! We're talking Arcadia people!This episode is a perfect listen for fans of The Lord of the Rings, as well as anyone who has ever fantasized about knitting in a cottage away from the hustle and bustle of industrialized cities!Works CitedFrey, Angelica. “Cottagecore Debuted 2,300 Years Ago.” JSTOR Daily 11 November 2020. https://daily.jstor.org/cottagecore-debuted-2300-years-ago/.
