Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been making headlines over the past few days with developments spanning his social media presence, personal life, and business ventures. According to The Hollywood Gossip, the pop star recently experienced a significant drop in Instagram followers, losing approximately 270,000 followers in what some are calling a mass unfollow. While this represents less than one percent of his 293 million followers, the sudden exodus has sparked considerable speculation among fans. Some attribute the decline to Instagram bot purges conducted by Meta, while others suggest active unfollows stemming from various factors including his transition to family life, fewer social media thirst traps, concerning behavioral patterns, and his posting of AI-generated content. In what many perceive as a direct response to the follower loss, Justin posted a selfie flipping off the camera, though he provided no context for the gesture.On a more positive note, according to AOL, Justin expressed pride in his wife Hailey's major business achievement. On May 28, Hailey announced that her skincare brand Rhode was acquired by e.l.f. Beauty for a staggering 1 billion dollars, marking a massive success in her entrepreneurial journey. Justin reportedly told sources that he has observed her dedication from the beginning and feels extremely proud of her accomplishment.In business developments, Hailey's Rhode brand has demonstrated impressive financial performance, generating 212 million dollars in net sales over the twelve months ending in March 2025, according to AOL. The brand was also named top skincare brand by certain media outlets in 2024.Meanwhile, Justin's own business ventures continue to evolve. According to AOL, he announced in April 2025 that he was ending his association with his fashion label Drew House, stating that it no longer reflects him, his family, or his life. He has since hinted at launching a new fashion line called SKYLRK featuring clothing and accessories, though no official release date has been announced.Additionally, Justin and Hailey were recently spotted together in Tokyo, Japan on December 2, 2025, suggesting the couple remains actively engaged in travel and public appearances despite ongoing tabloid speculation about their relationship status.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

From graphic designer to multi-passionate CEO, Liz Garcia shows us what it looks like to build a life and business rooted in courage, clarity, and bold reinvention.During our conversation, I sit down with Liz, the dynamic CEO of Storage Theory and co-founder of G.W. Spice Co., whose journey into entrepreneurship began not with a business plan, but with a life-altering wake-up call. Known for her contagious energy, heartfelt storytelling, and practical approach to product-based growth, Liz also hosts The Liz Garcia Show, where she champions purpose-driven action for busy go-getters.Liz opens up about the pivotal moment in 2021 when her husband's cancer diagnosis forced them to re-evaluate everything. That season became the catalyst for pursuing the dreams they had long postponed. After his remission in early 2022, they moved quickly to launching their first company, starting her podcast, and embracing entrepreneurship with a renewed sense of urgency. Liz also shares the unconventional, creatively structured deal that allowed them to acquire Storage Theory in 2024, proving that resourcefulness can open doors even without deep capital.Throughout our conversation, Liz breaks down the practical systems that keep her thriving while running multiple ventures, from activity stacking and time blocking, to ditching multitasking in favor of focused energy. She shares grounded wisdom on conquering perfectionism, building momentum through “messy consistency,” and understanding the real complexities of scaling on Amazon. Her insights on delegation, SEO, branding, and leveraging PR firms like Chic Execs offer a roadmap for product founders ready to level up.At its heart, Liz's story is a reminder that reinvention is possible at any moment, especially when we lead with courage, creativity, and intention. This episode is packed with mindset shifts, tactical gems, and permission to start before you feel ready.Tune in to hear Liz's inspiring journey and the strategies she uses to help women build the million-dollar businesses they dream of.Chapters

It's rare to find someone whose career spans 18 years in automotive manufacturing and venture capital, but Charly Mgwani, Partner at Eclipse Ventures, has done exactly that. His journey from the factory floor at Toyota, Nissan, Tesla and Rivian to backing hard tech companies gives him a perspective many VCs don't have.We sit down with Charly to explore how first principles thinking (questioning assumptions and getting back to root causes) drives real innovation in manufacturing.He walks us through Tesla's early days when they were asking questions nobody in the automotive industry had thought to ask, like whether robots could be programmed to work faster or if there was a better way to design for manufacturing.The conversation covers what Eclipse looks for in the founders they support, why being scrappy can lead to better manufacturing decisions, and why old manufacturing principles need rethinking as the industry flows in the opposite direction.In this episode, find out:How first principles thinking challenges manufacturing assumptions and unlocks innovationWhy asking “why not?” opens possibilities that “that's how it's always been done” closes offThe critical relationship between product design and manufacturability that many companies overlookWhat Charly learned about manufacturing during his time at Toyota and NissanWhy being capital-constrained can force creativity and focus in manufacturingThe questions Tesla asked that nobody in automotive had thought to ask beforeWhat Eclipse Ventures looks for in the founders they back and why that matters for hard tech companiesEnjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“I was ten years into my career when Elon was asking questions that had never been asked in automotive before. By forcing us to think about things from a first principle, we started identifying levers like part consolidation that are now commonplace in manufacturing today.”“Most folks design a factory as just what's inside the shell, but then you end up with over-built systems that don't speak to each other. If you design it as one product, like how a vehicle would be designed, there are more synergistic opportunities to simplify the utilities and make them complimentary.”“Manufacturing until recently has always flowed towards low labor costs and consolidation in pursuit of economies of scale. But now it's flowing in the other direction, so that means you can't depend on previous principles and how manufacturing has always been designed.”Links & mentions:Eclipse Ventures, partnering with entrepreneurs boldly transforming the essential industries that define and propel economies.

When Ron Blue joins us, it's always a masterclass in biblical wisdom. He's co-founder of Kingdom Advisors, a best-selling author, and a trusted mentor to many. Ron has spent decades helping believers apply God's principles to every area of life and business.Today, Ron unpacks what Scripture teaches about partnerships and how faith should shape the way we enter, manage, and exit them.The Broader Meaning of “Partnership”When the Apostle Paul warned believers about being “unequally yoked,” he wasn't speaking only about marriage. As Ron explains, “Paul was talking about partnerships—and there are so many kinds.”From professional firms and small businesses to investment ventures and partnerships, they can take many forms. And while they can be incredibly fruitful, they also carry spiritual and relational risks.Ron pointed out that partnerships often last a long time—sometimes decades. “The CPA firm I founded has been operating as a partnership for 50 years,” he said. “But not all partnerships endure well. Like marriage, many end in conflict.”Principle #1: Protect Your TestimonyRon's first principle is about spiritual integrity. “You have to ask what the partnership will do to your testimony,” he said. “If you're unequally yoked with someone whose values fundamentally differ from yours, you could lose your witness in the process.”He recalled being asked whether a Christian OB-GYN should enter a business partnership with a doctor who supports abortion. “Only you and God can answer that,” he said, “but it's a big question. Your witness is always at stake.”Principle #2: Plan Your Exit Before You Begin“Have your exit strategy in place before you form the partnership,” Ron advises.Just as couples prepare for challenges in marriage, business partners should anticipate potential separation. A clear exit plan protects both parties, ensures fairness, and helps maintain peace when the time comes to move on.“When you have that in place,” Ron said, “you avoid a lot of conflict and preserve your testimony if you're the believer who's leaving.”Principle #3: Preserve the Mission Beyond the RelationshipPerhaps the most powerful insight Ron shared was this: the mission must outlive the partnership.Ron recalled his own experience leading a financial planning firm. “After 23 years, I left—but no one left with me,” he said. “They were committed to the mission. That's what you want to see happen.”A strong exit strategy and shared vision help ensure that the work—and the witness—continue long after any individual departs.The Bottom LineShared faith isn't just good for business—it's essential for a lasting witness. Partnerships grounded in biblical principles reflect God's wisdom and preserve peace amid challenges.As Ron put it, “The most critical thing you want to preserve is your testimony. Everything else flows from that.”On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm concerned about vendors and service providers who want my bank account information for automatic withdrawals. I've been paying my lawn service with money orders, but now they require my account number. I told them we'd have to stop doing business because I'm not comfortable giving out that information. Isn't this kind of intrusive? What do you think about vendors wanting access to our accounts?My spouse and I are both 70 and ready to retire. I own 10 rental houses, but managing them has become too much. Once I sell the properties, what should I do with the proceeds? I understand the basics about capital gains and selling real estate, but I don't want the responsibility of managing individual stock investments myself.I've saved about $15,000 for a car, but have kept my current vehicle running as long as possible. It's a 2007 with 235,000 miles and is starting to have more issues. I found a good used car for about $8,500 and am wondering if I should buy it now or keep driving my current one until it dies, even though repairs may be on the horizon.My parents' health is declining, and we're moving them closer to family. Their current home is in an irrevocable trust, but we've found a condo they can buy before selling that house. Can the new condo be added to the same irrevocable trust? And when the old home sells, what happens to the proceeds?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

Yanev Suissa, Managing Partner and Founder at SineWave Ventures, discusses changes in Venture Capital and his firm's investment thesis.

In this episode hosts Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis from The Remarkable Retail Podcast welcome XRC Ventures' Managing Director Pano Anthos, for a deep dive into the future of retail innovation, investment strategies, and overcoming the systemic challenges that keep great technology from scaling.Pano shares his journey from serial entrepreneur to leading a venture fund focused on pre-seed and seed-stage investments at the intersection of retail, consumer behavior, and technology. With over 150 investments since 2015, XRC Ventures targets transformative sectors including retail media networks, the consumerization of healthcare, commerce enablement, and new distribution channels. Pano highlights examples of groundbreaking innovations—from AI-driven financial automation to diagnostics that detect autism in under two hours—that are redefining operational efficiency and customer impact.A major focus of the conversation is retail's organizational dysfunction, where siloed leadership and competing P&Ls create “warring tribes” that hinder adoption of transformative solutions. Pano argues that true progress requires structural change—appointing an operational leader with end-to-end responsibility for traffic and sales across all channels. The discussion also explores the promise of retail media, particularly in-store applications with untapped margin potential, and spatial intelligence, which can bring the precision of e-commerce analytics into physical stores. Pano shares candid insights on startup strategy, stressing that early-stage companies must demonstrate material ROI—significant EBITDA or revenue growth—to make it into a retailer's short list of investment priorities.

AI is forcing engineering leaders to become part-CFO, part-governance expert, and part-business strategist. Are you ready for the shift? We're joined by Lake Dai, a globally recognized AI expert, professor at Carnegie Mellon, and founder of Sancus Ventures, to explore the new operating strategies required in an AI-first era. She explains why AI has evolved from a simple tool to a core business metric that leaders are held accountable for on earnings calls. This new reality introduces massive new compute costs—sometimes 30-50% of OpEx—forcing leaders to adopt the financial foresight of a CFO to forecast and justify spending.Beyond the balance sheet, Lake identifies AI governance as the biggest blind spot for most leaders today, outlining the urgent need for an AI handbook to manage unit, system, and ethical risks. This strategic shift also reshapes the engineering org itself, from managing hybrid teams of humans and agents to the need for new training environments, almost like "AI flight simulators." This episode is an essential briefing on these new complexities, all centered on Lake's most urgent advice: in a world moving this fast, the best strategy is to slow down and focus on the fundamentals.LinearB: Your AI productivity journey starts hereFollow the hosts:Follow AndrewFollow BenFollow DanFollow today's guest(s):Connect with Lake on LinkedInSubscribe to Lake's Substack: LakeD-AI UnbundledLearn more about: Sancus VenturesReferenced in today's show:I didn't believe it until I saw it: but it *really* works in open offices!
