Alex Stone on Air traffic controllers received their first zero-dollar paycheck Tuesday amid the government shutdown. Many are turning to food banks and zero-interest loans, and some are even driving for Uber or DoorDash between tower shifts to make ends meet. The stress is mounting on an already short-staffed system as controllers hand out flyers urging travelers to pressure lawmakers to end the shutdown. Dodgers vs. Blue Jays Game #5—a pivotal showdown for Los Angeles in the World Series. The Burbank Temporary Aid Center (BTAC) steps up to help people struggling with food insecurity.

NIO just went from 1,000 to 10,000 weekly sales by executing on their promises. Meanwhile, Elon Musk just announced Tesla's Cybercab - a robotaxi with NO steering wheel, NO pedals, NO manual controls - will start production in Q2 2026 and cost just $0.10 per mile to operate.One company is proving execution. The other is making bold promises. Let's examine what's real and what's hype.Tesla's Cybercab Claims:Production starts Q2 2026 (7 months away)Zero manual controls - no steering wheel, pedals, or mirrors$0.10 per mile operating cost (vs $1/mile for Uber, $3-5/mile for Waymo)Under $30,000 production cost1 million vehicles operational within 10 years (tied to Musk's compensation)Owners can share vehicles on network for passive incomeThe Technology Problem:Current Tesla Robotaxis in Austin/San Francisco STILL require safety monitorsTesla uses pure vision (cameras only, no LiDAR) which struggles in rain/fogForbes reports multiple accidents during Austin testing (rear-endings, collisions)Going from "needs human supervision" to "zero manual controls" in 7 months is massive leapVR remote takeover as backup - but latency data never disclosedThe VR Remote Takeover Issue:Tesla hiring operators to use VR headsets for remote interventionNo public data on response latency (milliseconds matter in autonomous driving)What happens when connectivity drops in rural areas?How many operators needed per vehicle at scale?Feels like band-aid solution, not robust safety systemThe Economics - If It Works:$0.10/mile is 10X cheaper than current ride-sharingCould generate $75.9 billion net profit over 10 years (industry estimate)Changes Tesla's business model from car sales to transportation-as-a-serviceForces entire AV industry to hit this cost target or become irrelevantThe Credibility Problem:FSD was supposed to be feature-complete in 2020 (still requires supervision in 2025)"Tesla Robotaxis by 2020" promise was 5 years ago (still using safety monitors)Cybertruck sold only 20,000 units/year, entry version discontinued after 5 monthsMusk's compensation tied to hitting 1M robotaxi target (personal incentive to overpromise)Why This Matters for NIO Investors:Two completely different strategies playing out:Tesla: Pure vision, aggressive timelines, remove manual controls, "move fast and break things"NIO: Battery swap infrastructure first, autonomous as feature, keep manual controls, build trust graduallyNeither is inherently right or wrong - they're different philosophies. But execution matters more than promises.The Broader Industry Impact:If Tesla hits $0.10/mile, it resets market expectations and forces disruption. If Cybercab launches with safety issues, it sets the entire AV industry BACK by spooking regulators and consumers.This isn't just about Tesla. It's a bet on behalf of the entire autonomous vehicle industry.My Take:The vision is compelling. The technology isn't ready yet. The economics are unproven. Musk's track record on timelines is questionable. But I'm not saying it's impossible - just that the gap between announcement and reality is WIDE.As investors, we bet on execution, not announcements. NIO's testing execution with Q4 profitability. Tesla's testing it with Cybercab. Different companies, different strategies, same question: Can you deliver what you promised?This is objective analysis of the EV and autonomous vehicle space. Not pumping NIO, not dumping Tesla - just examining claims vs reality.#Tesla #TeslaCybercab #NIO #AutonomousVehicles #ElonMuskTesla Cybercab, Tesla stock, Elon Musk, NIO stock, autonomous vehicles, Tesla Robotaxi, FSD full self driving, Tesla news, NIO vs Tesla, electric vehicle stocks, self driving cars, Waymo vs Tesla, Chinese EV stocks, robotaxi, Tesla

This week, LeRoy sit's down with Bryan Clayton, founder of GreenPal, often called the "Uber for lawn care." Brian's entrepreneurial story is nothing short of inspiring. He started mowing lawns at 18, grew his landscaping company into a $10M business with over 150 employees, successfully sold it, and then pivoted into tech — building GreenPal, which now connects 300,000+ users with lawn care professionals across the country.

We've lived through technology revolutions before. Personal computers. The Internet. Smartphones. Social media. Each felt transformative at the time, reshaping how we work and communicate. But something fundamentally different is happening now. AI learns from every interaction and improves with each release. Yet the signals are confusing. Some pilots are failing, and the hype levels are off the scale. Meanwhile, some companies are reporting the potential for hundreds of millions in savings, capability benchmarks are doubling every seven months, and entire organizational structures are being reimagined around human-AI collaboration. So how do employers cut through the noise and prepare for such a fundamental shift? My guest this week is Michael Tchong, a futurist and founder of Ubertrends Academy. In our conversation, Michael explains what makes this revolution different, how to spot true long-term trends beyond the hype, and shares practical strategies for navigating the transformation ahead. In the interview, we discuss: Are we prepared for the coming disruption? Signals and Uber trends Why AI is unlike past revolutions Separating the hype from the real transformation signals Early adopters versus mainstream users Building hybrid human-AI organizations The coming wave of job displacement Practical upskilling strategies you need to implement Follow this podcast on Apple Podcasts.

Listen now: Spotify, Apple and YouTubeWhat does “AI-native” actually look like inside a company — not in theory, but in practice?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc and Ben sit down with James Dillard, former YouTube and Stripe PM, who recently spent three months embedded at Roo Code, an AI-native startup building coding agents that can write and review production code.James shares what it was like to join a 10-person team where everyone contributes to the codebase — from designers to community managers — and where the product process has been reimagined from the ground up.He walks through how discovery, design, and iteration actually work in an environment where code is the default language of collaboration — and what that means for the future of product management, engineering, and org design.Whether you're a product leader trying to make your org more AI-native, a founder exploring new operating models, or just curious about what “AI-native” means beyond the buzzwords — this episode offers a rare inside look at how the next generation of teams are really working.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Send us a textBuyers choose the path of least resistance, and that truth can either fuel your growth or quietly stall it. We sit down with Vistage Chair and “No Hassle” advocate Jim Bramlett to break down a four-part framework that makes customers stop hesitating: convenience, price transparency, user experience, and trust. From Amazon and Netflix to Uber and Nebraska Furniture Mart, Jim shows how category leaders remove friction so thoroughly that buyers feel they have no excuse not to say yes.We dig into the Hassle Score and why benchmarking yourself against actual competitors—not your intentions—exposes the real gaps slowing revenue and referrals. Jim shares crisp examples of conscious trade offs between price, convenience, and experience, and then explores how to narrow those trade offs with smarter operating design and practical uses of AI to cut cycle time, clarify quotes, and elevate support without eroding trust. The conversation shifts to the leadership habits that sustain these gains: resilience when plans break, coaching as the core skill of influence, and the surprising power of peer advisory groups where 80 percent of issues center on people, not strategy.Expect a clear path to uncovering blind spots through better questions, building a culture where vulnerability invites help, and leading across generations with curiosity and clarity. If you're ready to simplify buying, earn repeat business, and turn word of mouth into a growth engine, this episode gives you the tools and the mindset to start now.If you found this useful, follow the show, share it with a teammate who owns the customer journey, and leave a quick review to help more leaders discover practical, no-hassle growth.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Tesla's Q3 earnings call, NVIDIA's strategic partnership with Uber, and GM's surprising return to autonomy under Sterling Anderson's leadership.The conversation opens with Walt's firsthand insights from Tesla's Q3 2025 earnings call, where the company confirmed plans to remove safety attendants across “large parts” of Austin by year-end after accumulating 250,000 robotaxi miles.Tesla also announced 8–10 additional markets coming online by year-end, including Florida, Arizona, and Nevada, following the company's phased rollout playbook: safety-attended operations first, followed by fully autonomous service. Grayson projects more than 300 Model Y Robotaxis operating in Austin by mid-2026, potentially joined by 25–50 Cybercabs pending NHTSA exemptions.The discussion then turns to NVIDIA's newly announced partnership with Uber, which Grayson sees as signaling something much bigger than data sharing. He suggests NVIDIA could be positioning to acquire a leading autonomous driving developer such as Wayve, mirroring its CUDA strategy where software dominance separated it from competitors.His thesis: NVIDIA will ultimately own and license an autonomy stack across the industry, creating existential risk for startups dependent on its compute. Walt explores the market dynamics and potential conflicts that arise when your chip vendor becomes your competitor, while noting that NVIDIA's brand power could simultaneously validate the entire autonomy market.The week also brought news from GM, which re-entered the autonomy race by announcing a 2028 “hands-off, eyes-off” system debuting in the Cadillac Escalade IQ. Sterling Anderson confirmed GM's staged rollout plan: highways first, urban next, then full urban autonomy.Closing out the episode, Grayson and Walt debut the Foreign Autonomy Desk, covering Baidu Apollo's partnership with Swiss PostBus, WeRide and Uber's shuttle launch in Saudi Arabia, May Mobility's strategic investment from Grab for Southeast Asia expansion, and Waymo's effort to bring UK safety advocates to California for test rides ahead of its potential London launch.Episode Chapters0:00 Tesla Q3 2025 Earnings14:58 NVIDIA's Autonomy Ambitions20:59 Avride & Uber's Autonomy Investment Strategy23:09 GM is Back in Autonomy28:46 Waymo Begins Manually Testing at EWR (Newark Airport)32:14 Foreign Autonomy DeskRecorded on Friday October 24, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

This season we continue to follow our catch phrase of having “Dynamic Dialogues About DATA: Design, Architecture, Technology and the Arts. In the coming weeks we have some terrific conversations that are both fun and inspiring. They are going to include thought provoking futurists, AI technology mavens, retailers, international hotel design executives as well as designers and architects of brand experience places.We talk with authors and people focused on wellness and sustainable design practices as well as neuroscientists who will continue to help us look at the built environment and the connections between our mind-body and the built world around us.We'll also have guests who are creative marketing masters from international brands and people who have started and grown some of the companies that are striking a new path for us follow.The NXTLVL Experience Design podcast is grateful for the support of VMSD magazine.VMSD brings us, in the brand experience world, the International Retail Design Conference. The IRDC is one of the best retail design conferences that there is bringing together the world of retailers, brands and experience place makers every year for two days of engaging conversations and pushing us to keep on talking about what makes retailing relevant. You will find the archive of the NXTLVL Experience Design podcast on VMSD.com.Thanks also goes to Shop Association the only global retail trade association dedicated to elevating the in-store experience.SHOP Association represents companies and affiliates from 25 countries and brings value to their members through research, networking, education, events and awards. Check then out on SHOPAssociation.org Today, EPISODE 81… I talk with Christian Davies. We actually recorded this discussion months ago and Christian wondered if publishing it now was still relevant.I assured him it was, since Christian tends to unearth issues that are future forward - things to be mindful about should we want to address the issues we all face as individuals or societies or as architects and designers making places and things as we serve as our clients creative sherpa guides bringing ideas into the built world. Now… Christian has been sitting atop the heap of 80 conversations as the most listened to episode since we recorded our first talk a couple years ago. So, I thought, well why not do Christian Davies 2.0?Christian does not disappoint - never has – over a couple of decades, Christian has consistently drawn audiences and colleagues into conversation, sometimes challenging, and always brilliant and things that drive design thinking. His matter-of-fact English attitude to the world of design is sometimes a ‘no holds barred' reality check that makes you think twice about the truths you have held dear. His drive towards excellence is irrepressible. That makes him, some may say, demanding because I think he expects that we all give a damn about what we are brining into the world. And why not? We all share space on this little blue dot and, we had better get it, and soon, that we are part of a vast ecosystem of interdependencies.We cover a lot of ground in this open-ended conversation – I'd not expect less from Christian - And here is a few thoughts on subject areas we touch on…1. Entropy:Entropy is a scientific measure of disorder, randomness.Astrophysicist and other cosmologists have postulated that our universe is continuing to expand to a maximum state of entropy from a moment in time, the beginning of the Universe that they have called The Big Bang.There's lots of great content that you can certainly dig up on what happens when the universe finally expands to maximum entropy and all particles are spread out evenly within the unimaginably large space of the universe. It's suggested that of course this maximun expansion will take something like 10 to the 36 or 37 power years in other words trillions and trillions of years. A very very long time….But for now, the way I try to think of it is things will expand and eventually slow down as they all spread out to be evenly distributed throughout the universe… seems reasonable…It's kind of like imagining the initial moments after a massive explosion. Things spread out pretty quickly from the epicenter of the explosion and as they're flung far and wide, particles eventually slow and if you think of it in terms of entropy they all reach maximum randomness.I kind of think that right now, today, considering that the scientists think that the universe has only been around for 14 1/2 billion years or so, that we're kind of right at that very beginning stage of the explosion and things are moving faster and faster away from the epicenter of The Big Bang. This is interesting if you think that the universe will continue to be expanding for a few trillion years so right now yeah, we're kind of sort of in the one second after the explosion time frame. Anyway I am not an astrophysicist and some of these enormous ideas still leave me scratching my head…If we look at today, and everything around us, it certainly seems that things are speeding up and becoming more distributed, more random.I know I've talked about the whole idea of the pace of change in a number of episodes but I find this really interesting because, as I discussed with Christian, it's really hard to design into a future state when you consider that the sands beneath your feet are always shifting.How do we know which step is the right one? How do you know when we step on solid ground or drop forever into a bottomless void…I think the challenge here for designers is that, at least for a time, we need to have a sense of stability and order. The challenge is, I think, is that we're moving to an increasing rate of change where stability and order might be elusive to say the least.2. Moments of human connection make experiences great:I think as we speed along and never ending sea of change perhaps one of the things that we can hang on to, a stake in the ground if you will, will continue to be our ability to maintain our relationships.Change has a funny way of, well… changing people. And, one of our jobs will be to keep up with changing expectations of brands and their customers. One thing is sure, as we scream along this ever changing path, relationships will remain as one of the fundamental qualities of great experiences. Both brand experience architecture and the means with which we engage with brands will change to meet evolving expecations but, my expectation, (or maybe it's just my hope) is that humans still stay at the center of it all - Since at least for this short little time that humans have been in existence, we have relied on the empathic connection between individuals to help create meaning and connection to the world around us as well as the things well as the things we simply buy.And I, like Christian, believe that in the end, when you look at successful projects in our long design careers, the good ones, I mean the really good ones, we're not just because we received a great brief with an inspired client who had a vision of changing up the world,but that the teams we were connected to both on the consultant and client sides were also great. There was something that clicked. There was a gel in communication, respect and collaboration that drove these projects forward.Some may have heard me say before projects will come and go but the relationships are really what make the work great. I'd rather lose a project than trash the relationships…3. Three things that facilitate success stories in the world of retail place-making:So, if you're going to look at success stories over a career full of projects, when you look back at what really made them great was, of course that they were successful from a financial point of view, that they drove increase customers and deeper brand relationships and better revenues all those things are important indicators of success but that there are things that are required to make all of that happen. One would be that there's a big idea someone at the helm of a brand or business that has a thought about doing something different breaking out of a traditional way of bringing goods or services to market, of serving a customer in a different way and technology is often being a facilitator of that.There was coffee long before Starbucks. There was getting from A to B lby horse, camel, richshaw, long before Uber. There were places to stay along the Silk Road before Airbnb. And if you had a shaman in your village you could likely find out where you ame from and where your future was going to be long before there were anything like 23&Me or ancestry.com. In some ways the goods or services have not really changed. How we get them in the hands of customers has changed and that has often been facilitated with new technologies.4. AI – as a new tool for ideation and the ‘why' behind design:One of those technological advances of course that everybody is talking about these days is artificial intelligence.AI it's both causing a lot of excitement about what it sees has to offer in the short term, becoming a new tool in the architect and designers toolbox for ideation as well as causing a lot of concern about what happens to humankind when we finally get to general AI or super artificial intelligence.I am both excited and increasingly aware of influences that it will have on the job market, delivery of goods and services and other parts of the ecosystem like education and manufacturing etcetera etcetera.But if we just for a moment set some of the anxieties aside and simply look at as a tool for imagination and engagement with clients fostering the collaborative process of ideation, it has extraordinary potential to change the game of how we designers and architects work with our clients and create ideas about bringing their goods and services to market.There's a lot of opportunity and uncertainty about what happens when you turbocharge the creative process with AI tools.In the end though, at least for now, the question remains - is that there is a human at the helm of prompt curation?The output is only as good as the input that I'm able to suggest as a prompt. If not… garbage in – garbage out.This of course is interesting because it puts the initial burden still on people to be able to articulate their vision in language and use AI tools to refine the visualizations and other content that emerges from using them.As we use these tools they make things faster but I also sometimes wonder about whether they simply make us lazy and remove our thinking from the process.So Christian does talk about the idea of the drawings or images being very compelling but also needing to ask, and answer, the question of ‘why this particular approach or output is relevant and connected to the brand or customer that we're trying to serve?In the end it's not about the ‘what' of things that make solutions to design challenges great but more and more about the ‘why' you're doing certain things.It's about the process by which you got to the solution rather than simply the solution itself.Don't get me wrong the solutions to the challenges are sometimes very satisfying but what I'm ultimately interested in is the thinking process that led you to along this pathway… it's the journey not just the destination that's important in the creative process….And I think it's ever more important to our clients in the design world that they're looking for people who are not just production oriented but who are also focused on guiding them through an uncertain future5. B-Corporations:And this in a way leads us to the part of our my discussion with Christian about how his company Bergmeyer has recently become a B-Corp.A B-Corporation is a for profit company, but it is certified by the non-profit B Lab Global and the whole idea is that it seeks to meet high standards for social and environmental performance and accountability and even more so transparency in the ways that they are doing business in support of being good stewards of our environment.In the changing sands that we're all standing on, as entropy increases and uncertainty continues to unfold in front of us, there is certainty that our planet is also in peril as climate change continues to wreak havoc on environmental systems. These B-corporations are seen as a force for good who work to balance profit with a commitment to both people and our planet. What differentiates them from other traditional companies is that they prioritize the social and environmental impacts of their business while at the same time not discounting the fact that they still are in business - that they are accountable to stakeholders as well as shareholders.The stakeholders can be considered as all of us because as companies continue to pull resources out of the ground and push the byproducts of industrialization into landfills and oceans all of our lives are at stake.All right then that's a not so brief summary of some of the ideas that Christian and I riff on in our conversation…Let's dig into some of the details…ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites: https://www.davidkepron.com (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645 (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comTwitter: DavidKepronPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron is a multifaceted creative professional with a deep curiosity to understand ‘why', ‘what's now' and ‘what's next'.

Medellin, Colombia.Part 2 Welcome to Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide Quick-Fire FAQ: Drying Out Wet Clothing. How do you do that on the road? How do you dry your wet belongings while traveling, especially when you're solo? Especially in a humid area, it's hard to get things dry. When you solo travel, you have more control over your time constraints, so plan to let things dry. When it's damp, the best way to dry your clothes is by maximizing water removal before drying. Try the towel roll trick. First, lay the clothes flat on a towel, roll them up, and twist to ring out the moisture. Use strong airflow and ventilation, such as fans or dehumidifiers, and space clothes out for even evaporative drying indoors. If safe, place clothes near a heater or radiator, but not directly on it, for fire safety. Use a dryer if possible. Store thoroughly dried clothes in airtight containers or use moisture absorbers if needed. Sometimes, you will have to pack a wet garment, but you have some control over it if you are solo. 60-second confidence challenge: Travel Navigation apps 2025 Travel apps to use regularly before you leave: Make your own list of about 5 of them. My favorites are Google Maps and Rome to Rio. Apple has a map, and several others are decent. Select a destination and research the transportation options and associated costs. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, an entire Chapter on Maps of my A book dives deeper into how to build confidence using maps—link in description.” See Book A for addressing this challenge of using travel apps for directions. Find it on the website at 5StepsToSoloTravel.com or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Destination Deep‑Dive Today's special destination is Medellin, Colombia. Part 2 This is part 2 of my visit to Medellin, Colombia. Colombia was the first country on my trip, and I really enjoyed Medellin, even though it was raining a lot of the time I was there. For the most part, I felt safe. Part 1 discussed the changes since the 1990s and a few of the attractions I suggested. There have also been some problems. Drug Trafficking Today Colombia remains the world's leading cocaine producer, and armed groups and organized crime still participate in the trade, according to InSight Crime. While the infamous Medellín Cartel no longer operates, its historical legacy persists. In neighborhoods with tourist traffic, drugs may still be present—but such activity tends to occur behind the scenes. https://colombiareports.com/manufacturing-colombian-fascism-story-gomez-family/ Where should you stay? Try the Poblano neighborhood. I swam in the rooftop pool at the Los Patios Suites hostel, which provided a relaxing soak, and it offered views of the surrounding neighborhoods. It rained a lot in this city in May, which was during the fall season. One of the drawbacks of the rain and humidity was the presence of mosquitoes. My shoes got wet and never really dried. Final Thoughts on Medellin Safety: Medellín is significantly safer than it was in the past, but it's still advisable to avoid risky situations, such as unplanned nightlife excursions or meetups through dating apps. Drug Trafficking: Still present at broader levels, but doesn't dominate everyday tourist life—unless one seeks it out. Itinerary Picks: For women over 50, I'd highlight coffee tours, Comuna 13 storytelling, parks like Arví, cultural sites like Nutibara and Palacio de la Cultura, and the bike-share system—each offering memorable, relaxed experiences with minimal risk. Smart Move and Slip-up pairing: I got hit by the caffeine in Colombia. Too much. I had a hard time falling asleep. So don't order a full cup, or only drink half. I had trouble sleeping due to the coffee I had at noon. Hyped up all day! Cut out caffeine if you're not accustomed to the buzz and want to sleep well. Take away mantra and goodbye. In Medellin, I got lost and turned around to go back, frustrated and weary. It was raining. I was soaked. Dejected and upset, I was mad at myself and felt bad. But then something changed. The next thing I saw was a Christian church that was just about to start its service, so I stayed for two hours. God was with me on that journey. A woman in the church had her Uber driver drop me off near the metro, so I could then continue on my journey. The day turned out better than expected. I'm leaving you today with the hope that your next trip will have a positive impact on you and others as well.
BFFs with Dave Portnoy, Josh Richards, and Brianna Chickenfry

The Trump administration has moved to axe many Biden-era green initiatives. One project impacted is in Middletown, Ohio — the hometown of Vice President JD Vance. Environmentalists had hoped that the conversion of a steel plant there from coal to hydrogen-powered furnaces could be a blueprint for future eco-friendly upgrades, but that project has been canceled. Also on the show: collective bargaining rights for Uber and Lyft drivers and a U.S.-Australia alliance concerning rare earth metals.
Uber is paying its drivers as little as $1 to train LLMs.
