Podcasts about upstarts

“I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.” — Ecclesiastes 10:7 Upstarts frequently usurp the highest places, while the truly great pine in obscurity. This is a riddle in providence whose solution will one day gladden the hearts of the upright; but it is so common a fact, that […]

The story of King Henry VIII, a man who married six times only to execute two of those wives, is part of Great Britain's national and international identity. Each year, millions of people walk around the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace and Hever Castle, plus many other historical sites, taking in and hoping to glean some sense of the man and the myth, and yet there is a period from Henry VIII's life which remains largely overlooked, a period in which he chose not to execute wives, servants or ministers, but instead turned on another group entirely - his own family. Like practically all members of the nobility of the time, Henry VIII descended from King Edward III, which ensured a ready-made crop of royal cousins were in abundance at his court, and awkwardly for the king, these cousins often possessed much greater claims to the throne than he did. The house of Tudor was one which should never have been, let alone taken the throne. Upstarts in every sense of the word, their ancestry, whilst (almost) noble, was by no means as grand as many a family in England, and it is against this backdrop that Henry VIII and the Plantagenet Poles: The Rise and Fall of a Dynasty (Pen & Sword, 2024) by Dr. Adam Pennington was created. The Pole family, the subjects of the story, were royalty in secret. Lady Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury, the family matriarch, was a niece of King Edward IV and Richard III, making her a first cousin of Elizabeth of York, the first Tudor queen consort, and thus a first cousin once removed of Henry VIII. Margaret Pole was, therefore, one of the most senior members of the nobility at the Tudor court, and through her, her sons, her daughter, and her grandchildren possessed a dangerous name and dangerous bloodline, which put them on a collision course with the most volatile man ever to sit the throne of England. They were the old guard, the house of Plantagenet, the greatest ruling dynasty in English history, the true royal family, and this, coupled with the monumental shifts which England underwent during the reign of Henry VIII, all but ensured their destruction. For centuries, their story has been overlooked, or at best, fleetingly covered, but when one digs deep, a story as audacious and juicy as it's possible to be soon emerges. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Before the sun set on a final Winter Fancy Food Show, the event cast a light on a swath of emerging, innovative and better-for-you brands. The hosts highlight a few of their favorite products exhibited at the show, and how package design, ingredients, form factor and taste helped them to stand out. Show notes: 0:25: A First! Shifting Cities. Miami Meetup. The Worst Cup. So Many Fancy Brands. What's Trending? – Ray and John are in WCB, which means Mike is all alone in Newton. Everyone is excited about a perennial trade show's return to its roots. Miami is the team's next stop – and everyone is invited to stop by. Ray pulls an anti-'Elf' before he and John dish on some of the most notable brands they encountered at the 2025 Winter Fancy Food Show, including canned lattes, NA cocktails, poppadom-inspired snacks, lentil-based dips, boiled peanuts, single-serve ethnic meals and fruit leather. The hosts also highlight BevNET/NOSH's 2025 Trend Forecast and wonder why Ray can't say “insider.” Brands in this episode: Laurel's, Hail M Cocktails, Mate Party, JAS, Lazy Food, Edenesque, Ayoh Foods, Proppadoms, HipPop, Maazah, The Cumin Club, Tierra Negra, Peepal People, Dixie Grace's Boiled Peanuts, Milk-Ish, Pulpito, Jas, Sayso, Nufs, Glonuts, Breakin Snacks, Feisty, Protein 2.0, Gatorade, Hebrew National, Bitchin' Sauce, Plink, Element, Cure Hydration

We're not prognosticators. But we are a hopeful bunch. With a new year on the horizon, the hosts share five (actually, six) wishes for the food and beverage industry in 2025. Swift progress is unexpected, but these are reasonably achievable goals. Show notes: 0:25: Upstarts, Assemble! Cann Do. Deal Us In. More NA, Please. Outrageous = 1.7%. – Ray wonders if the team should consider living bi-coastal before encouraging more collaborations between emerging brands. John opines on the huge opportunity for cannabis-based brands and stirs the pot on M&A and nascent categories. Mike calls for material change in the availability of institutional capital, and Ray (once again) hops on his soap box about artificial ingredients. John touts a “perfect” cocktail, while Mike plinks and pops. Brands in this episode: Fly By Jing, Daily Crunch, Little Sesame, Fishwife, Lundberg, Graza, Aura Bora, Rind, Ghost, C4, French Squirrel, Tanqueray, Guinness, Plink, Happy Pop, Hoste

E139: David leads with an update on the Southern Venture Ecosystem and introduces co-host Paul who briefly profiles three companies on The Upstate Upstarts List. Paul explains what the Upstate Upstarts are and why we're interested in these very early stage companies. First is Boyd Cycling with Nicole and Boyd Johnson, a Craft Wheel manufacturing business who have recently pivoted to manufacturing tech they acquired from Germany and are now seeking growth from vertical integration. Next is DuckLinks with Allison (Humen) Rogers, who has developed a unique app for parents of young children to find, save, and share activities that match your family's needs & interests. Third is FearlessGrad with Dr. Natalie Morse Ph.D., who has developed a platform to help students get into top fully funded PhD programs. All have customers and revenue, and give a flavor of the early-stage company entrepreneurialism of the Upstate.

You.com showcases the state of AI today The story of you.com is multi-faceted and telling in many ways. You.com was founded in 2020 by Richard Socher, one of the leading NLP (Natural Language Processing) researchers in the world, to offer a better search experience to users and compete with Google. With a startup exit and a Chief Data Scientist stint at Salesforce, Socher got the experience, network and backing he needed to pursue his long-time ambition of taking on Google. That's something few people have tried, with moderate success. Socher diagnosed early enough that the way to success is by carving a niche for you.com. You.com focuses on serving knowledge workers in "complex informational / action searches": elaborate queries, and queries that are really about accomplishing a task, respectively. In 2022, in the pre-ChatGPT era, Socher set out a course for you.com based on AI, apps, privacy, and personalization. In 2024, you.com is staying the course, but a few things have changed. In the GenAI era the competition is growing, and borrowing pages from you.com's book. Language model providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic now offer services similar to you.com. Upstarts such as perplexity.ai have sprung up, and Google itself is embracing the AI approach to search. You.com is making progress too. Since launching in November 2021, you.com has served 1 billion queries and has millions of active users, including from Fortune 500. The company's ARR has grown by 500% since January 2024. Today, you.com announced a $50 million Series B funding round, as well as a new team plan called Multiplayer AI. We caught up with Socher, talked about the news, and took you.com for a spin.

We love to hear from our listeners. Send us a message. Guest co-host Anna Rose Welch of Advancing RNA fame joins us on this week's Business of Biotech podcast for a conversation with the leaders of RNA upstart Radar Therapeutics. The company's co-founders, Eerik Kaseniit, Ph.D. (CSO & President) and Sophia Lugo (CEO), are making waves in the mRNA therapeutics space on the heels of the invention of a precision-expressed mRNA technology that laid bare the path to Radar's inception. On this episode, we dig into that science, why it's timely, and how it fits into today's mRNA therapeutics landscape. We also go deep on how Kaseniit and Lugo went about navigating the complexities of biotech formation, leaning into their networks andbuilding up a team—and each other—along the way. Their work is paying off, as the fast-growing company is attracting gobs of investor and big bio attention. For more on the technology Radar is bringing to bear, read Kaseniit and Lugo's recent byline at Cell & Gene. Access this and hundreds of episodes of the Business of Biotech videocast under the Listen & Watch tab at bioprocessonline.com.

Ken speaks with Lori Coulter, Co-Founder and CEO of Summersalt, on this Flight of The Retail Pilot - Leaders & Legends. Lori Coulter is the Co-Founder and CEO of Summersalt, a generation-defining lifestyle brand known for its data-backed fit and designer quality products without the designer price tag. In 2020, she was named one of Inc. Magazine's Top 100 Female Founders. Lori and her Co-founder, Reshma Chattaram Chamberlin, launched Summersalt to change the conversation around swimwear and address a true market gap by creating designer swimwear without the designer price tag. Summersalt's product is data-backed with 1.5 million measurements taken from 10,000 women's body scans.From day one, Summersalt knew it wouldn't stop at swimwear. The first challenge was to transform the swimwear shopping experience from being intimidating and vulnerable to fun and empowering. Quickly, Summersalt expanded to include adventure-friendly essentials that help make every aspect of a woman's wardrobe more joyful and comfortable—from sleepwear to intimates to activewear. Named one of the Top 100 Upstarts in the world by CNBC, The Lead's Breakout Company of the Year, and Fast Company's Brands That Matter in 2022, the brand has seen exceptional growth and consumer adoption, garnering praise from leading outlets including Vogue, Elle, CNN and Forbes. Prior to launching Summersalt, Lori, a veteran start-up founder with deep expertise in design, supply chain and ecommerce, launched one of the first mass customization startups at the intersection of technology, fashion and data to incorporate body scanning and made-to-order manufacturing. Lori holds a Master of Business Administration from Washington University in St. Louis and a Bachelor of Business Administration from Baylor University. She serves on the Board of Trustees at her alma mater Washington University in St. Louis and champions inclusive economic development and entrepreneurship as a member of the University's Skandalaris Center National Council. Outside of Summersalt, Lori enjoys spending time with her husband and two sons, and exploring the world through her love of travel and adventure. Key takeaways from this episode are:1.    Customer-Centric Approach: Lori Coulter emphasizes the importance of understanding and meeting the needs of the consumer. From the early stages, they focused on creating swimwear that empowered women to feel confident and engage with life. Their emphasis on fit, inclusivity, and sustainability reflects their commitment to their customers' values and preferences.2.    Direct-to-Consumer Success: Summersalt's success largely stems from its direct-to-consumer business model. By bypassing traditional retail channels and selling directly to customers online, they maintain a closer connection with their audience and have more control over their brand experience. This approach allowed them to optimize fit based on real-time feedback and manage returns effectively.3.    Strategic Partnerships and Collaborations: Summersalt leverages strategic partnerships and collaborations to expand its reach and grow its brand. They've collaborated with major retailers and plan to continue doing so, utilizing physical retail spaces alongside their online presence to reach a wider audience.4.    Adaptability and Resilience: The company demonstrated adaptability and resilience, particularly during challenging times such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite facing a significant drop in revenue, they managed to bounce back and even thrive by tapping into consumer demand for swimwear and leveraging their online presence.5.    Holistic Marketing Strategy: Summersalt employs a comprehensive marketing strategy that encompasses various channels, including press, influencer partnerships, social media, direct mail, and physical retail. By creating a 360-degree brand experience, they ensure multiple touchpoints with their target audience, enhancing brand visibility and engagement.6.    AI Integration in Marketing: Coulter highlights the significance of AI in marketing, emphasizing its role in anticipating consumer needs, creating timely content, and optimizing customer acquisition strategies. Companies that quickly adopt and leverage AI technologies are likely to emerge as clear winners in the competitive landscape.7.    Success with Connected TV: Coulter discusses the success her company has experienced with connected TV advertising, citing efficiency gains and real-time data feedback as key benefits. Leveraging data signals from direct-to-consumer interactions, such as those obtained from connected TV, allows for more targeted and effective marketing efforts.8.    Influencer Partnerships for Content Creation: Coulter emphasizes the importance of influencer partnerships in content creation, highlighting a Jet Setters program where influencers collaborate with the brand to create authentic and engaging content. Leveraging influencers helps amplify brand messaging and reach a wider audience.9.    Stage-Appropriate Tech Stack: Coulter shares insights into building a tech stack that aligns with the stage of business growth, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing platforms based on consumer needs and operational efficiency. Continuously evaluating and adjusting the tech stack to eliminate redundancies and streamline operations is crucial for scalability.10. Challenges in a Post-COVID Retail Landscape: Coulter identifies three major challenges facing her company in the post-COVID retail environment: understanding shifts in consumer behavior and the future of retail, navigating fundraising challenges in a venture capital landscape impacted by COVID, and refining merchandising strategies to adapt to changing consumer preferences and market dynamics. Flexibility, adaptation, and strategic planning are essential for overcoming these challenges and driving future growth.

Mike Grgich – His 1976 Napa Chardonnay in USA/France blind tasting in Paris was The Shot Heard Round the World.   Winemaker Mike Grgich died Dec 13th 2023.  He was 100 years old. This is his story,  as told to yours truly into a nasty microphone in the lobby of the Hotel Vancouver 2016. He had just released his memoir A Glass Full of Miracles. (Note – on his way from Croatia to Napa he travelled across the Atlantic and by train across Canada to Vancouver for a lumberjack job he had applied for. The job was gone by the time he reached the west coast. So,  Mike washed dishes until he heard of a winemaking job in Napa and South he went)   Steven Spurrier, a wine expert from England who ran a fine wine shop in Paris, decided it would be fun to organize a blind tasting to coincide with America's Bicentennial celebrations in 1976. For the tasting, he gathered together the best French judges, and the finest French wines, and to salute America on its 200th anniversary he added in a few wines from some upstart winemakers in California. Steven hoped the tasting would bring favourable attention to his wine shop. But he didn't have any idea of the impact that his Bicentennial tasting would have on the world of wine. André Tchelistcheff, along with Jim Barrett, had hand-carried an armload of California wines to Paris for the competition. The blind tasting was held at the InterContinental Hotel in the center of Paris. The morning competition was devoted to white wines and the afternoon to reds. And Steven Spurrier brought together the very best white wines of Burgundy: a 1973 Meursault-Charmes, a 1973 Beaune Clos des Mouches, a 1973 Bâtard-Montrachet, and a 1972 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles. Alongside these French legends, there was the 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay crafted by Mike Grgich, and other Chardonnays from California that the French judges had never heard of either. The judges expected to sniff and gag when they tasted the California wines. But it didn't happen that way. The nine French judges blind-tasted the white wines and graded each of them. The winner was the Chateau Montelena Chardonnay that Mike Grgich had made, with 132 points, the highest total scored of any of the wines, red or white, in the tasting. It was the champion! Then, to add insult to injury, the third and fourth places went to Chalone Vineyard and Spring Mountain Vineyard. In the afternoon tasting of the red wines, the French judges gave their top ranking to Warren Winiarski for his 1973 Stag's Leap Cabernet Sauvignon, beating the best wines of Bordeaux, among them a 1970 Château Mouton-Rothschild, a 1970 Château Haut Brion, a 1970 Château Montrose from Saint-Estèphe, and a 1971 Château Léoville-Las-Cases from Saint-Julien. The judges were shocked as was Steven Spurrier.   Upstarts from Napa Valley had won both categories, against the very best wines of France. The French judges were speechless and a few tried to suppress the results, but without success. The following week, George Tabor's story in Time magazine announced the American triumph, and it sent shock waves throughout the world of wine. Mike received the news that they had won by a congratulatory telegram from Jim Barrett in Paris. That was the first he learned that his wine was even in the competition. Soon, though, the importance of what had happened began to sink in.. On July 4, 1977, Mike Grgich and Austin Hills, of the Hills Bros. Coffee Company, broke ground to start Grgich Hills Cellar, which from the start sold wines that were in high demand, based on Mike Grgich's reputation as the winemaker who won the Paris Tasting. Gradually, the winery purchased 366 acres, spread over five vineyards within the Napa Valley, allowing all Grgich Hills wines to be produced solely from estate-grown grapes. In recognition of that significant achievement, the winery changed its name to Grgich Hills Estate. The Paris Tasting revolutionized the wine world, establishing Napa Valley's reputation as a world-class wine region! First, it shattered the myth that only French soil can produce world-class wines. For decades New World winemakers had all been stuck in that mindset and this finally broke through it.  Second, the victory pumped new energy into the California wine industry, particularly in Napa Valley. Vintners were proud to be part of what was a revolution in American wine but they still had a long way to go. So they redoubled their efforts to make better wines each year. California's victory also inspired other winemakers in different parts of the world. Breaking the myth of French superiority gave new hope and energy to winemakers in South Africa, Italy, Chile, Australia, New Zealand, and even in Mike's native Croatia. Now they joined the race to make world-class wines, and as the years unfolded California winemakers also shared with them their technology and know-how. As part of that effort, Mike returned to Croatia in 1996 and started a new winery in order to share what he had learned with young winemakers in his homeland. George Taber, the Time magazine journalist who first reported the tasting, in 2005 wrote a detailed account of the event and its impact in his book, “Judgment of Paris: California vs. France and the Historic 1976 Paris Tasting That Revolutionized Wine.”  As a result of his historic contributions to making world-class wine in California, Miljenko “Mike” Grgich was inducted into the Vintner Hall of Fame in 2008.   A Hollywood version of this story was true but not by much.  It was called Bottleshock.   We salute the great Mike Grgich.  

On today's show, as Week 13 of the NFL season gets underway, I'm only seeing 5 legit title contenders. Sorry Dolphins, sorry Jags and sorry long suffering Lions' fans, I know your teams are really good, but realistically, you're just not Super Bowl champion good, and even despite a one dimensional, Josh Allen-centric offense, I might have included the Bills, were it not for devastating season ending injuries to 3 key defensive players. Now I know we're gonna have 14 Playoff teams, and it's not that I'm saying it's a waste of time; I'll enjoy Wild Card Weekend and the Divisional Round as much as anyone, but in reality, it's all just a formality, cuz in the end, it's all gonna come down to the Ravens, the Chiefs, the Eagles, the Cowboys and the Niners. Meanwhile, in the NBA, there are a few up and comers in the standings, as the Magic, Timberwolves, Pacers and Thunder enjoy early season success, and the In-Season Tournament seems to be a hit, with the opening round drawing a lot of attention as Group Play came to an exciting close and we head to the Knockout Round. So sit back, the NBA season is exciting early on, the NFL season hits the home stretch and we're breaking down how it's all unfolding, next on the Roundup Podcast so let's get rolling . . .

Cheers,Scott and JakeBourbon Lens   About Colin Spoelman: Colin is Co-Founder and Head Distiller at Kings County, New York City's premier craft whiskey distillery and has written The Guide to Urban Moonshining and Dead Distillers about American whiskey. He grew up in the moonshine (not the bourbon) part of Kentucky and graduated from Yale University. About Kings County Distillery: KINGS COUNTY DISTILLERY is New York City's oldest, largest, and premier whiskey distillery. Founded in 2010, Kings County makes handmade bourbon, rye, and other whiskeys out of the 123-year-old Paymaster Building in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. We use New York grain and traditional distilling equipment to make whiskeys that have been praised by the New York Times, Wine & Spirits Magazine, and Whisky Advocate and is recognized as one of the preeminent craft distilleries in the United States, having been named Distillery of the Year in 2016 from the American Distilling Institute.  Recent Press Release from Sept. 13, 2022: BROOKLYN, N.Y.- Kings County Distillery, New York City's premier craft distillery, is releasing a new flagship whiskey in wide-release, a blended bourbon made from house-distilled straight whiskeys. The resulting whiskey is bright, complex and approachable—a multi-occasion whiskey for neat sipping or mixing. With a suggested price of $54.99, Kings County's Blended Bourbon will be its most accessible aged spirit and arrives in a striking new blue label, one which clearly differentiates this spirit from Kings County's established bourbon, rye, and single malt whiskeys. "As we have done with moonshine and bottled-in-bond, making a blended bourbon is a way of asking whiskey drinkers to reconsider an overlooked category of spirit," said Co-Founder and Distiller Colin Spoelman. "Blended whiskey is most often associated with crowd-pleasing scotch or Canadian whiskies. We used the all-but-forgotten category of blended bourbon to create the American analog to these reliable and endlessly versatile spirits. Composed entirely of in-house, pot-distilled straight bourbon, straight corn whiskey, straight rye whiskey, and malt whiskey, our Blended Bourbon makes for a sippable, lower proof bourbon, suitable for nearly any application calling for an approachable American whiskey. In the interest of providing the drinker with the highest level of transparency and elevating a category historically associated with intentionally vague labeling practices, we list the exact blend composition on every bottle." By law, blended bourbon must use 51% straight bourbon, but the open-ended definition allows the Kings County's blending team to use the full breadth of our mature inventory to craft a complex and purposeful flavor profile within the lineup. With this added flexibility, Blended Bourbon can become a volume leader in Kings County's portfolio, joining an existing line of superlative aged whiskeys. Kings County's spirits have been widely accepted and appreciated, but with supply of aged whiskey growing short across the spectrum of American whiskey, Kings County aims to lead the market with a superior all-purpose two-year-old spirit. With notes of honey, caramel, and rye pepper, this is a flexible whiskey, and one that shows what can be achieved through the use of quality organic ingredients, careful distilling, and creative blending. It also presents a spirit suitable for mixing, creating a new audience for the brand. Kings County Blended Bourbon will be available throughout New York State starting on September 14th with national rollout to follow, visit www.kingscountydistillery.com for more information. With the new entry-level aged whiskey will come a reduction in pricing on Kings County's unaged spirits. "While many distillers are raising prices, we are making our whiskeys more affordable and accessible," said Spoelman. "We want to be the distiller that meets the moment for our customers and fans."

Background Andrew (Drew) Weaver had over 20 years of experience in the Entertainment Industry as a Broadcast Engineer before venturing out on his own in 2011 to start his first business. By 2016, Drew decided to shift from being a traditional entrepreneur whose major ideology is profit is king and people are a means to an end, to being a Social Entrepreneur whose central ideology is people are king and profit is a means to an end. Shortly thereafter, he began shutting down his business. Later that year, Drew decided his next business had to focus on social impact and SHOPINV, an app focused on ending poverty was born. Funding this venture via Venture Capitalists who marketed themselves as Social Impact investors proved to be impossible for a Black man in America. Drew was told, to his face, by a VC Owner that his investors would not invest in a Black man trying to end poverty. So, Drew went back to the drawing board and decided to strategically postpone SHOPINV. It was after George Floyd was murdered and the people took to the streets to protest for days on end that Drew decided to build his third business BLVCK$FUND (pronounced Black Dollar Fund), which would never require funds from VC's. All his revolutionary system would need to succeed is informed Black people and allies who thoroughly understand and applaud the goal of bridging the wealth gap after 400-plus years. His ingenious plan incorporates group economics to invest in Black people and their communities. Andrew's BLVCK$FUND strategy would take less than 10% of the Black population to participate and could yield roughly $650M per year to be solely invested in Black people and their communities throughout the 50 States.

He is known for painting the features and shaping the brows of some of the world's prominent beauties and famous faces, including Oprah, Madonna, Beyoncé, Kamala Harris (Madame Vice President), Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Taraji P. Henson, Channing Tatum, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Nicki Minaj, and Robert Downey Jr., to name a few. In 2002 Damone created his flagship brow salon, Damone Roberts Beverly Hills ®. Damone's philosophy is that each person exudes their own individual beauty and that every face deserves the perfect frame®. In December of 2019, Damone decided to close his Beverly Hills salon, which he ran successfully in this location for 18 years, and another simultaneously in NYC for over 10. He was one of the first black business owners to have a stand-alone Beverly Hills location. He knew, instinctively, that it was time to make a change and open a Beauty Therapy Lounge in a smaller more intimate location giving opportunity for an even more customer-orientated salon. That decision allowed him to manage the enormous challenges we have all faced in 2020-21, and to react appropriately. It also allowed Damone to focus on his Television work and to enjoy hosting a series of weekly Beauty Therapy IG Lives, that had thousands tuning in to hear him and his guests share how they made their brands thrive. Damone has been asked to guest on numerous successful Podcasts aside from Hosting his own The Starplucker Podcast. Most recently, Damone was asked to take part in the Tamron Hall show on their first Beauty Bar Special. Damone was asked to work with Nicole Kidman to design her look for the 2021 film I Love Lucy. May 2022 saw Damone featured on The Tamron Hall Show's first-ever Beauty Bar Special. Damone Roberts' distinctive flair has immortalized him in pop culture as an answer in the 2004 edition of the board game Trivial Pursuit, and most recently as a question on the world's leading game show Jeopardy. His talent expanded from Beauty into Acting in Ava DuVernay's first acclaimed feature film I Will Follow, as well as her 2020 Television series, Cherish the Day for OWN. Damone was a regular contributing beauty editor with his own column titled Dear Damone for Oprah.com. His passion for creating the perfect arch has been featured on countless TV shows and has graced the covers of some of the globe's top magazines. His signature products have been featured on many shows and channels including MSNBC, The View, BET, Access Hollywood, Oprah, Good Morning America, CNN.
