Send us Fan MailThis is the second episode in a three-part WTR Symposium Series on investment opportunities in industrial decarbonization and the circular resource economy. Shawn Severson and Peter Gastreich are joined by Gevo (GEVO), Alto Ingredients (ALTO), CapCO2, and LSB Industries (LXU) to explore how carbon has shifted from a compliance cost to a profit driver across aviation fuel, marine fuels, specialty alcohols, and fertilizers, and how regulatory tailwinds, accelerated by the Strait of Hormuz crisis, are reshaping the opportunity for investors in Carbon Capture, Utilization and Sequestration (CCUS). 

Hip programs are often used to create predictable cash flow, but recurring revenue alone does not guarantee profitability.  Too often, practices focus on recurring revenue while overlooking the impact on margins, utilization, redemption behavior, and patient lifetime value.  A strong membership program should increase profitability and patient value—not simply create discounts.  Where Most Membership Models Start Losing Margin  Many practices build memberships as a retention tool without fully understanding how they impact profitability.  The biggest mistake is discounting services that already have thinner margins. While recurring revenue may look attractive on paper, profitability can suffer if patients are simply receiving discounts on services they already planned to purchase.  Strong membership programs encourage patients to explore additional treatments, increase lifetime value, and create predictable utilization. The goal is not simply recurring revenue. The goal is profitable recurring revenue.  The Membership Framework That Creates Better Financial Outcomes  The strongest membership programs are built around intentional behavior design.  Benefits should support your pricing strategy, encourage utilization of high-value services, and create opportunities for patients to engage more deeply with treatment plans over time.  It's also important to track how members actually use the program.   Are they trying new services?   Are they increasing spend over time?   Are they returning more consistently?  In some practices, a loyalty or VIP program may create stronger financial outcomes than a traditional membership model. Exclusive access, preferred booking opportunities, and patient perks can increase retention without creating unnecessary discount pressure.  Why Membership Data Matters More Than Membership Sales  Selling memberships is only the beginning.  The real value comes from understanding utilization rates, redemption behavior, patient retention, and lifetime value. Those metrics reveal whether your membership structure is strengthening profitability or quietly eroding it.  When membership data is reviewed consistently, practice owners can refine benefits, improve patient experience, and create stronger financial outcomes without relying on additional discounting.  As Your Med Spa Scales, Memberships Become a Financial System  As practices grow, memberships become more than a marketing tool. They become part of the financial infrastructure of the business.  Weak membership models can create hidden liabilities, capacity constraints, and margin pressure. Strong membership models create predictable revenue, support retention, and align patient behavior with the long-term goals of the practice.  The most successful memberships are built as part of a broader financial strategy designed to support sustainable growth and enterprise value.  Follow Shannon & Keep What You Earn:   Shannon Weinstein is the founder of a fractional CFO firm specializing in helping 7-figure aesthetics and wellness practices scale with clarity, cash flow, and confidence.  Shannon is committed to helping med spa owners understand, fix, and maximize their business's enterprise value, offering actionable advice and resources, including a popular free video series specifically for aesthetics practice owners.

Jeffrey Epstein's money trail was never just about bank balances; it was about architecture. He operated through a maze of offshore and low-tax jurisdictions that gave him secrecy, flexibility, tax advantages, and distance from ordinary scrutiny. Bermuda shows up clearly in the Paradise Papers reporting through Liquid Funding Ltd., a Bermuda-registered company Epstein chaired from roughly 2000 to 2007, tied to complex mortgage-backed financial products and serviced through Appleby, the powerful offshore law firm. The broader point is that Epstein understood the offshore world the way powerful men often do: not as a hiding place in the cartoon sense, but as a professionalized system of shell companies, nominee structures, favorable tax regimes, and elite lawyers who could make wealth harder to trace, harder to tax, and harder to connect cleanly to the person controlling it.That same pattern extended through the Virgin Islands, where Epstein built not only a private physical kingdom on Little St. James and Great St. James, but also a corporate and tax structure around entities like Southern Trust Company. The U.S. Virgin Islands later alleged that Epstein and his co-defendants used property and companies in the territory to carry out and conceal his trafficking operation, and the estate ultimately settled with the territory for more than $105 million, including the return of more than $80 million in economic development tax benefits officials said had been fraudulently obtained. The British Virgin Islands and similar offshore destinations fit into the same larger ecosystem: jurisdictions prized by the global wealthy because they can obscure ownership, separate assets from reputational risk, and create layers between money, movement, and accountability. For Epstein, offshore finance was not incidental. It was part of the machine — a way to keep wealth liquid, guarded, and protected while the public saw only the mansions, the islands, the jets, and the surface-level performance of legitimacy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

AI infrastructure conversations usually stay very technical. But my chat with , Santosh Erram, VP Partnerships DDN at Google Cloud Next '26 on The Ravit Show went in a different direction.He kept bringing it back to one thing. Business value. Yes, compute is growing. Yes, GPUs are everywhere. But that is not the real bottleneck anymore. Data is. If you cannot move it fast, access it easily, and actually use it, your AI investment does not translate into outcomes.What stood out was how fast things are moving. Their partnership with Google Cloud went from idea to launch in under six months. And now they are pushing things like 10 terabytes per second performance and hybrid tiering to meet real enterprise demands.But the real proof was in the use cases.- Salesforce pushing GPU utilization from around 48% to over 90%.- Resemble AI driving cost savings.- Sony Honda Mobility using it for autonomous driving.Even financial firms bursting massive workloads into the cloud, hitting petabyte scale in a single day. This is not experimentation anymore. We are moving from AI pilots to real production. And the shift from training to inferencing is going to define the next phase. My biggest takeaway. AI is no longer limited by models. It is limited by how fast and how well you can work with your data.#data #ai #ddn #infrastructure #googlecloudnext #api #google #theravitshow

Pulmonary AVM may be rare, but missing them can lead to lifelong complications, especially in patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). How do you choose the right device and strategy to ensure long-term success with embolization? In this episode of the BackTable Podcast, host Dr. Kavi Krishnasamy is joined by Dr. Brian Funaki and Dr. Nima Kokabi to unpack the evolving treatment landscape for pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM).

In 2025, U.S. digital health startups raised $14.2 billion. AI-enabled companies captured 54% of it. Every prediction in every roundup carries one quiet assumption underneath it. The patient on the receiving end can use what's being built. The Pew data from January says something different. Two trajectories. One looks like progress in aggregate. The other looks like the patients with the worst health outcomes being structurally locked out of the system that's being built. Chris Boyer and Reed Smith examine what happens when digital strategy and health equity stop being parallel tracks and become the same problem. Why the 2026 AI investment narrative quietly assumes a digitally capable patient, and what the population data actually shows The smartphone-dependent patient most health systems haven't internalized, and why portal UX fails them by design Why disparities in patient portal access are widening for low-income, less-educated and 65-plus populations, even as overall use rises What the 2025 cancellation of federal digital equity funding means for health systems whose patient panels actually need the work done Modality mix as the reframe: digital, phone, in-person and printed channels as a portfolio allocated by segment, not a hierarchy everyone migrates toward The University of Michigan study published in JAMA Network Open in October is the one to anchor on. Researchers looked at 511 hospitals in 51 counties in 17 states where census data showed at least 300,000 LEP residents. 29% of those hospitals offered the patient portal login in English only. 60% offered English plus Spanish. 11% offered three or more languages. In counties specifically chosen because they have hundreds of thousands of patients who don't speak English at home. If your most-invested-in digital experience reaches the patients who already had the most options, and barely touches the patients with the worst outcomes, what is your digital strategy actually optimizing for?

What if tracking how much AI your team uses tells you more than tracking their hours?In this episode of KP Unpacked, KP Reddy and Nick reveal a controversial management shift happening at Zero RFI: KP monitors enterprise Claude analytics and reaches out to employees with low token usage, not high spenders. The new performance metric isn't billable hours or output volume. It's curiosity, commitment to learning, and willingness to experiment. Someone burning through credits is building, iterating, testing limits. Someone avoiding the tools is resisting change. And if the CEO isn't in the top third of token usage on their team, they're failing at leadership.The conversation unpacks Zero RFI's first internal hackathon: seven hours, cross-functional teams pulled out of silos, non-engineers shipping production code by end of day. One team built a preventative maintenance prediction system for a business they knew nothing about. Another deployed a Slack-to-Notion content aggregation engine an hour after presenting. The philosophy? More is better until better is better. Give people space, support, and freedom to build. Then track whether they're actually using it. Nick raises the scar tissue transfer problem: how do senior execs pass decades of decision-making lessons to junior associates without endless meetings? The answer lives in skills files, transcribed Notion calls, and treating Claude as a training partner, not just a task executor.Key questions answered:Should you track employee token usage as the new performance metric?What happens when you reach out to low token users instead of high spenders?How did Zero RFI's internal hackathon work, and what did people build?Why is $30K/month in token spend an easy ROI decision for some CEOs?How do you transfer decades of institutional knowledge without one-on-one mentorship?What's the difference between using Claude for deliverables vs. training?Why are skills files the solution to IP leaving the building when employees quit?Should seed-stage CEOs be coding alongside their CTO or delegating?Why did PE firms decide San Francisco proximity matters more than New York headquarters?How do you codify scar tissue and lessons learned into persistent company memory?What should CEOs do if they're in the bottom third of their team's token usage?If you're managing a team wondering whether to limit AI spend or incentivize experimentation, trying to scale institutional knowledge beyond senior leadership, or questioning what productivity measurement looks like when timesheets become irrelevant, this episode will reframe how you think about performance in an AI-first organization.Listen now.

Why is the $5 remedy linked to stage 4 cancer remission being ignored? In this video, I'll break down the cancer parasite theory and whether anti-parasitic drugs could be an option for cancer alternative treatment.0:00 Introduction: Stage 4 cancer remission0:38 Cancer research 2025 1:14 Cancer metabolism explained 3:57 Cancer parasite theory4:52 Natural cancer remedies 6:20 Cancer alternative treatment 7:20 Cancer prevention tips 8:03 Cancer and the immune system Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07A drug designed to kill parasites has shown promising results in remission of stage 4 cancer, but no major cancer center will run a clinical trial on it.At the molecular level, cancer is a parasite. It consumes your resources as it spreads throughout the body. In 2025, over 2 million Americans were diagnosed with cancer, and a 79% increase in cancer among young people has been reported.Cancer cells operate in a primitive survival mode, utilizing glycolysis for energy. Cancer thrives in an environment where our cells are struggling, and our mitochondria are damaged. Cancer cells are highly adaptive and can survive on glutamine, BCAAs, and even ketones at advanced stages. Researchers have identified 3 different survival systems typically used by parasites, fungi, worms, and cancer:1. Internal scaffolding 2. Prevention of the self-destruction of damaged cells3. Utilization of glycolysisAnti-parasitic drugs and remedies such as fenbendazole, ivermectin, wormwood, black walnut hulls, and cloves can dismantle the survival mechanisms of parasites, worms, and cancer cells. In addition to natural cancer remedies, you need to stop eating foods that feed cancer. Eliminate sugar, starches, and junk food from your diet. Rotating your diet and fasting schedule can also help. A strong immune system is the most powerful weapon against cancer. Your killer T cells and natural killer cells can kill cancer directly. To support these cells, increase vitamin D levels and focus on fasting, adequate sleep, and exercise.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Motor pools are making a comeback, and not as “loaner cars,” but as true internal rental programs that help fleets cut costs while improving access and availability. Marc Canton sits down with Tony Yankovich to break down what's driving the surge (hint: utilization and right-sizing), how to spot the “shareable” vehicles hiding in plain sight, and why timing-of-use matters as much as total miles. They dig into real-world examples, like seasonal sharing of heavy equipment, and a university's surprising lesson on vehicle selection (recruiting demands don't fit in a basic SUV). Plus: the policies that make or break adoption, how to keep pricing simple, what fees actually change behavior, and why you should size to ~80–85% demand with a rental backfill plan for peak days. If you're motor-pool curious (or your loaner program is chaos), this is your blueprint. Key Takeaways 1. Motor pools are evolving into internal “rental programs.” Modern motor pools aren't just spare or loaner vehicles anymore. When structured well, they function like an internal rental operation: employees reserve vehicles when needed, use them, and return them, maximizing utilization while reducing unnecessary fleet ownership. 2. Utilization (not total fleet size) is the real optimization lever. Many fleets carry “just-in-case” vehicles that sit idle most of the time. By analyzing when vehicles are actually used (not just how many miles they drive), fleets can identify vehicles that could be shared instead of permanently assigned. 3. Timing of demand matters as much as demand itself. Two departments may both need vehicles frequently, but if they need them at different times of day, week, or season, a shared motor pool can serve both groups with fewer vehicles. 4. Seasonal and situational sharing unlocks hidden capacity. Heavy equipment, specialty vehicles, or seasonal-use assets are often perfect candidates for shared fleet pools. When departments coordinate access, fleets can avoid purchasing equipment that only gets used a few months each year. 5. Right-size the pool to about 80–85% of demand. Trying to cover 100% of demand usually leads to over-ownership. Instead, fleets should size motor pools to meet most demand and rely on short-term rentals or backup options during peak usage periods. 6. Policy and process determine success. Motor pools fail when policies are unclear or inconsistent. Clear reservation rules, pickup/return procedures, fueling expectations, and accountability standards help ensure vehicles are available and ready for the next user. 7. Chargebacks help drive the right behavior. When departments see the real cost of vehicle use through simple and transparent chargeback models, they're more likely to reserve vehicles responsibly and avoid unnecessary trips. 8. Vehicle selection must match real use cases. One example discussed involved a university that discovered recruiters needed larger, more comfortable vehicles to transport candidates. Choosing the wrong vehicle type can undermine adoption, even if the motor pool system itself works well. 9. Simplicity encourages adoption. Reservation systems, pricing structures, and policies should be easy to understand. If employees find the system complicated, they'll avoid using it and default back to assigned vehicles. 10. Motor pools support broader fleet right-sizing initiatives. When implemented properly, motor pools help organizations reduce excess vehicles, improve access to transportation, and lower total cost of ownership without limiting operational capability.     Speaker Bios Marc Canton VP of Product & Consultant, RTA Fleet Marc Canton serves as Vice President of Product and a fleet consultant at RTA Fleet, the Fleet Success Company.

We walk through five measurable health indicators that reveal whether your business can actually support you long-term. From market fit and client retention to utilization, unit economics, and cash flow, we explain what to measure and why it matters. Whether you're solo or have a team, these indicators apply across the board. Our goal is to help you diagnose problems clearly and build a business that supports your life instead of consuming it. Main topics:  Market fit and demand Revenue durability and retention Utilization and capacity efficiency Unit economics and profit Cash flow resilience Main takeaway: "If you're not profitable at one visit, adding more visits will never fix it." This is one of the hardest truths in pet care—and one of the most important. Being busy can hide serious problems in pricing, labor costs, and efficiency. When margins are broken at the unit level, scaling only multiplies stress and burnout. Real growth starts by understanding what it costs to deliver one walk, one visit, one day of care—and pricing accordingly. Profit isn't greed; it's what allows you to build a business that lasts.
