Austin Hunt from Legal Guardian Digital helps law firms win visibility in search, and he believes the rules have already changed. Firms that still think SEO ends with Google rankings miss where cases increasingly originate: AI tools that summarize, recommend, and decide which firms people see. In this episode, Austin explains how AI systems like ChatGPT and Google Overviews decide which law firms appear, why the same signals still drive both SEO and AI visibility, and what PI firms need to change now to avoid disappearing from search altogether. You'll learn: How AI decides which law firms it recommends. Why content structure matters more than length. How directories and reviews influence AI visibility. What firms should fix now before competitors adapt. If you like what you hear, hit Subscribe. We do this every week. Buy tickets for PIMCON 2026: pimcon.org Get Social!

Petros admits he won’t be touring Ivy League campuses anytime soon — and the conversation turns into a full-blown reality check on money: U.S. household debt is pushing $19 trillion, and parents feel like they’re being told they should already have a small fortune saved for college by the time their kid hits middle school. USC becomes the poster child for sticker shock, with its 2025–26 cost of attendance nearing $100,000 — and it’s even been cited as the nation’s most expensive in recent rankings. Then Tim reminds everyone: the Conway Show is heading back to nights, so it’s time to play the hits and bring back the classic chaos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explain why the AI revolution isn't a bubble — it's backed by unprecedented backlog growth.Highlights00:02 — There are some wild numbers being thrown around here early in 2026 as we think about the CapEx investments that the four hyperscalers — Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud, and Oracle — are making to build up their AI factories, their AI and cloud infrastructure to meet the incredible demand for AI training, inferencing, cloud transformations, business transformations, and more.01:28 — The money, the huge revenue, is already there, and it's growing at an incredible pace. That's why these companies are investing so much, because the market is so enormous, the potential is so huge. This number —$1.63 trillion — that's the amount of either RPO or backlog combined that those four companies have generated going forward.02:12 — The RPO backlog figures for each of these companies are: Microsoft, $625 billion, growing at 110%; Oracle, $523 billion, growing at 438%; AWS, $240 billion, up 40%; Google Cloud, $240 billion, growing at 55%. These are very fresh figures from their Q4 earnings results.03:28 — Microsoft and Google each going to spend about $185 billion in CapEx this fiscal year; AWS, $200 billion; and Oracle, about $75 billion. That totals up to $645 billion dollars in CapEx. The world has never seen anything like this. We're into unprecedented territory here.04:39 — That is money that's chasing this already committed business in RPO and backlog. This is $1.63 trillion. That's right here, right now — a snapshot of what they already have in backlog. Even if they don't come anywhere close to those growth rates, they're still showing extraordinary growth and vitality.

He breaks down a heated exchange between Pam Bondi and Thomas Massie, questions the sudden bipartisan obsession with Epstein transparency, and walks through a real-world Twitter debate that highlights just how entrenched confirmation bias has become in today's political climate. Jon also shifts gears to a sobering discussion on the federal deficit, citing projections of a $1.7 trillion shortfall and testimony alleging massive fraud tied to terrorism and trafficking. He connects the dots between runaway government spending, bureaucratic dysfunction, and why these issues should unite Americans across party lines.

The conversation has shifted to real payment infrastructure that moves money across borders 24/7 without the friction that's plagued traditional rails for decades.Stablecoins offer instant settlement around the clock, transparency that traditional banking can't match, and costs that make high-ticket cross-border transactions actually viable. Banks and payment companies are moving from pilot programs to actual implementation.Payouts have gained more traction early on because companies prefer to test the waters by pushing payments out rather than accepting them in. The gig economy has become a major beneficiary. Companies can now pay workers anywhere in the world without routing through legacy banking systems that charge hefty fees and take days to settle.The compliance conversation gets interesting when you compare on-chain monitoring to traditional banking. With blockchain-based payments, every transaction leaves a permanent record. You can see where funds originated, every wallet they touched along the way, and where they end up.Visa and MasterCard have been testing stablecoin settlements for their issuers and acquirers, primarily in European markets where regulatory clarity arrived sooner. For companies doing high volumes of original credit transactions on weekends, the ability to pre-fund with stablecoins eliminates the need for expensive lines of credit.One surprise in the market comes from the reverse flow. Manufacturers in Latin America want to pay their US suppliers using stablecoins. BVNK converts those stablecoin payments to dollars and pays out through traditional rails.KEY TAKEAWAYS:1️⃣ Train compliance teams on blockchain monitoring tools before piloting stablecoin payments because BSA-AML frameworks work differently on-chain.2️⃣ Calculate what you spend on lines of credit just to pre-fund weekend settlement accounts and compare that against stablecoin settlement costs.3️⃣ Set up ongoing monitoring using tools that track transactions after they exit your custody to catch compliance issues before they become problems.4️⃣ Build infrastructure to accept payments from unexpected directions like Latin America to US and convert to traditional rails on the receiving end.5️⃣ Use smart contracts to handle escrow requirements in lending situations instead of relying on intermediaries.LINKSGuestKeith VanderLeastLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keithvanderleest/BVNK Profile: https://bvnk.com/about-usCompanyBVNKWebsite: https://bvnk.com/LinkedIn:

Day 1,446.Today, in a rare public outburst against the Trump administration, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accuses the United States of “backtracking” on the so-called Anchorage Agreement, under which Washington allegedly agreed to pressure Ukraine into ceding parts of the Donbas that Russian forces have failed to capture after nearly four years of war. We examine President Zelensky's comments suggesting that a new White House peace deadline may be linked to Donald Trump's US midterm election campaign, and report on how Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is seeking to leverage the war in Ukraine to shore up domestic political support. And later, we speak to the former commander of US forces in Europe, retired Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, about the state of the war and how prepared Europe and NATO are for a potential Russian move on the Suwałki Gap.ContributorsDominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.With thanks to Lieutenant General (Retired) Ben Hodges (former commander of US forces in Europe). @general_ben on X.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.

Mitch Wexler exposes what he calls the "biggest hidden financial time bomb in America"—a $5.1 trillion spiral of school district bond fraud. Speaking from the front lines of his legal crusade, Wexler details a system of inflated property appraisals and systemic over-taxation that is stripping equity from homeowners nationwide. He frames his battle in the Texas Supreme Court not as a local issue, but as a desperate fight for transparency against institutionalized fraud that dwarfs 2008. "Why do they want to prohibit discovery of the fraud?" he challenges. Wexler directly ties this local crisis to the broader erosion of confidence in fiat systems, arguing it makes physical precious metals the only true zero-counterparty-risk refuge.✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

"I didn't use my own software this week because the OpenAI agents were better. And that's me retiring my own software." — Keith TeareSomething broke this week. Both Anthropic and OpenAI launched multi-agent systems—"agent swarms"—that don't just assist with tasks but replace custom-built software entirely. The market noticed: Adobe, Salesforce, Workday, and other legacy SaaS companies saw their stocks collapse in what some are calling a trillion-dollar selloff. Keith Teare joins Andrew Keen on Super Bowl weekend to unpack what may be the most consequential week in AI since ChatGPT launched.The conversation ranges from the Anthropic-OpenAI advertising spat (Dario Amodei's Super Bowl ad vs. Sam Altman's "online tantrum") to the deeper structural shifts: Microsoft and Amazon becoming utilities, Google betting $185 billion on an AI-first pivot, and Elon Musk merging SpaceX with xAI to put data centers in space. Along the way, Teare and Keen debate whether the AI race is a myth or a wacky race, whether venture capital is in crisis, and what happens to human labor when agents do the work.About the GuestKeith Teare is a British-American entrepreneur, investor, and technology analyst. He co-founded RealNames Corporation, a pioneering internet company, and later served as Executive Chairman of TechCrunch. He is the founder of That Was The Week and SignalRank, and publishes a widely-read weekly newsletter on technology, venture capital, and the business of innovation.

Taxpayers for Common Sense, a fiscal watchdog group, says the Trump administration's Golden Dome missile defense initiative could cost as much as $3.6 trillion over the next 20 years, far exceeding the White House's projected $175 billion. The group also argues the effort faces “insurmountable” technical hurdles that could prevent it from reliably defending the United States against nuclear threats. “Even under generous technical assumptions, the viability challenges facing Golden Dome are severe,” the report warns. Plus, the initiative could accelerate the nuclear arms race and complicate efforts to secure arms control agreements that reduce the nuclear threat.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

 In 1947, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists created the “Doomsday Clock” to draw attention to the existential dangers posed by human technology. The time was set to seven minutes to midnight, with midnight symbolizing the destruction of life on Earth. Just two years before, in 1945, the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The world saw firsthand the potential of nuclear annihilation. As World War II was ending, a different kind of conflict was underway: the Cold War. And over the next four decades, the United States and Soviet Union competed for nuclear dominance—not only through foreign policy and military strategy, but also on the home front, using propaganda and retaliation against critics. Throughout this period, people of conscience, like Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers in the early 70s, repeatedly sounded the alarm. Ellsberg and others warned that there was no way to “win” a nuclear war. If one side launched a nuclear weapon, the other would inevitably respond, leading to mutual destruction. Today, more than 30 years after the end of the Cold War, the nuclear arms race continues. According to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, nine nations continue to stockpile nuclear weapons, including the US, Russia, China, Israel, Iran, Pakistan, France, the United Kingdom, and North Korea. On January 27, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists moved the Doomsday Clock forward to 85 seconds to midnight—the closest humanity has ever come to global catastrophe. The question remains: Is there time and the will to change our trajectory, to learn from the past, and avoid a path to global destruction?

Priorities, politics, and pockets, the real PPP. If you want to know what the government cares about, check how they spend their money. In this first episode of Season Six of The Four Degrees to the Streets Podcast we discuss how the federal government spends its $1,589,000,000,000 ($1.6 Trillion) dollar budget & how that spending directly relates to the political and social issues of 2026 such as DEI, immigration, and healthcare. And of course, how each of us can influence the political and financial system to champion our causes and benefit our neighborhoods. Our civil rights go well beyond voting; to calling, showing up at offices, writing letters, donating to candidates, and organizing our communities.At the time this episode was recorded, the United States federal government was in a shut down. Congress had not solidified the upcoming fiscal year budget and technically all of the government hadn't been funded. In this episode we break down the six step process of putting together the U.S government budget, the players involved, and how a shut down happens.Share this episode with someone you know who cares about their neighborhood!Follow the podcast on instagram @the4degreespod, watch this episode on YouTube, or listen on Spotify and Apple Podcast "The Four Degrees to the Streets Podcast".If this conversation was interesting to you write us an email sending us your feedback and thoughts at fourdegreestothestreetspod@gmail.comWe love to hear from you!

Banking executives know their industry is being disrupted. What they don't know is how much of their balance sheet they've already lost control of. According to Accenture, more than $200 trillion in global bank deposits and loans are now at risk, and that threat isn't coming from another bank. It's coming from stablecoins, AI agents that can automatically optimize finances, and platforms that can quickly move cash, often outside the traditional banking system. Today's guest is Mike Abbott from Accenture. His team's new report on the top banking trends for 2026 reveals some uncomfortable truths. Seventy percent of IT spending still goes to maintaining outdated systems. Margin compression could reduce US bank pre-tax income by 22%. And many of those loyal customers who've stayed with their bank for seven years? The research calls them "lazy loyalists." The real question for banking leaders isn't whether this shift is happening, but how much of the balance sheet they'll still control when it does. Mike joins us to discuss how banks can respond to threats moving faster than their modernization efforts.

We kick off FOLLOW UP by checking in on Elon Musk's personal dumpster fire, where the EU is investigating Grok for deepfake slop while Tesla's “unsupervised” robotaxis turned out to be supervised by literal chase cars — shocker. At least some of you are getting Siri settlement crumbs in your bank accounts, though you could probably double it betting against Musk's worthless promises on Polymarket.Transitioning to IN THE NEWS, Tesla is killing off the Model S and X to build robots while sales crater, proving that mixing hard-right politics with EV sales is a brilliant move for the balance sheet. Meanwhile, the corporate bloodbath continues with massive layoffs at Ubisoft, Vimeo (courtesy of the Bending Spoons buzzsaw), and Amazon, because “removing bureaucracy” is apparently HR-speak for 16,000 families losing their livelihoods. If that's not enough, Google is settling yet another privacy suit for $135 million, the EU is threatening to weaponize its tech sovereignty against the US, and the Trump administration wants Gemini to write federal regulations—because if there's one thing we want drafting airline safety rules, it's a hallucinating chatbot.Still IN THE NEWS, Waymo is under federal investigation for passing school buses and hitting children, while South Korea's new AI laws manage to please absolutely no one. Record labels are suing Anna's Archive for a cool $13 trillion—roughly three times the GDP of India—and the Winklevoss twins have finally admitted that NFTs are dead by shuttering Nifty Gateway.We pivot to MEDIA CANDY, where the Patriots and Seahawks are heading to Super Bowl 60, and the Winter Olympics are descending on Milan. We're doing the math on the Starfleet Academy timeline, celebrating the return of Ted Lasso and Shrinking, and trying to decide if Henry Cavill is the second coming of Timothy Dalton in the Highlander reboot. Plus, Jessica Jones is back in the Daredevil: Born Again trailer, and Colin Farrell's Sugar is returning to explain that wild noir twist we all totally saw coming.In APPS & DOODADS, the TikTok Armageddon is upon us as the new US owners break the app and drive everyone to UpScrolled, while Native Instruments enters insolvency, leaving our music-making dreams in restructuring limbo.
