Vertical merger review has long rested on the principle that competitive harm is most likely when a merged firm has both the ability and incentive to foreclose rivals, yet courts and enforcers often struggle to establish that harm empirically. But can potentially anticompetitive vertical integrations be screened in advance using observable market characteristics? Charles Hodgson, Assistant Professor of Economics at Yale University and Faculty Research Fellow at the NBER, and Shilong Sun, Senior Economist at Compass Lexecon, join Anora Wang and Panos Dimitrellos to discuss how evidence from the Chinese film industry sheds light on when vertical foreclosure is likely to emerge, why downstream concentration and upstream product substitutability matter, and how these findings may inform modern merger review across industries ranging from movie theaters to digital platforms. Listen to this episode to learn more about how a practical screening framework for vertical mergers could help identify when foreclosure concerns are most likely to arise and provide enforcers and practitioners with a more evidence-based approach to assessing competitive harm.

Electric air taxis flying over London by 2029? It's closer than you think. Adam Pacifico sits down with Stuart Simpson, CEO of Vertical Aerospace the British company that just became one of only two in the world to achieve full aircraft transition (taking off like a helicopter, flying like a plane, and landing like a helicopter again). With 1,500 aircraft pre-sold to American Airlines, Japan Airlines and others, this is no longer science fiction. But this conversation goes far beyond flying taxis. Stuart opens up about what it really takes to lead a breakthrough company from his unlikely start in medicine, to restructuring businesses in the 1990s recession, to leading Royal Mail through Covid, to now building an entirely new industry from the ground up. In this episode: ✅ How Vertical Aerospace achieved what no other company had done for a fraction of competitors' budgets ✅ Stuart's 3-horizon plan: prototype → certify → industrialise ✅ Why he deliberately wasn't there for the historic transition milestone ✅ Creating a culture where people give discretionary effort willingly ✅ The infrastructure challenge of urban air mobility ✅ What leadership legacy actually means Canary Wharf to Heathrow in 9 minutes. JFK to Manhattan in 7. The future of city travel is being built right now.

How do you build AI for one of the world's largest, most valuable, and least digitised industries?In this episode of Riding Unicorns, James and Hector sit down with Dr. Kate Jarvis, CEO & Co-Founder of Fifth Dimension, the AI company transforming how institutional real estate investors make decisions.With a PhD from Stanford in machine learning and linguistics, Kate has spent her career applying AI to complex industries. Today, Fifth Dimension is building what she describes as the Bloomberg Terminal for real assets, helping some of the world's largest property investors replace spreadsheets, PDFs and manual workflows with AI-powered decision intelligence.The conversation explores why commercial real estate has remained decades behind other financial markets, how AI is finally unlocking the sector, and what it takes to build enterprise software for one of the world's most relationship-driven industries.Kate also shares candid insights on fundraising in today's AI market, founder-led sales, pricing AI products, and why Europe may have a unique advantage in the next wave of vertical AI companies.Topics Covered• Why commercial real estate remains one of the world's least digitised industries • Building the Bloomberg Terminal for institutional property investors • How AI transforms underwriting, portfolio management and investment decisions • Why decision intelligence matters more than simply collecting more data • The challenge of changing behaviour in relationship-driven industries • Founder-led sales and scaling enterprise go-to-market teams • Pricing AI products while managing token costs and unit economics • Building vertical AI companies versus foundation models • The differences between fundraising in Europe and the US • Why Europe could become the leader in vertical AI applications • The realities of raising venture capital as an AI founder • Founder resilience, conviction and building through uncertaintyThis is a conversation about applying AI where it creates the greatest economic value, why enterprise transformation is ultimately about people rather than technology, and what it takes to modernise one of the world's biggest industries.

Vertical whiteboards are all the buzz in math circles -- and whether or not you subscribe to the whole BTC framework, the boards themselves? Golden!! The good news is, it works just as well in science as it does in math.In this episode, Nicole breaks down exactly how she uses vertical whiteboards in both her math and science classroom: what they are, why they work, and the specific ways she uses them for everything from complex word problems to building food webs to analyzing data in real time.In This Episode:why vertical whiteboards let you see everything — who's stuck, who's off task, who's making the same mistake — all at once, without hoveringhow the erasability of a whiteboard lowers the stakes and gets reluctant students actually participatingNicole's step-by-step math problem solving sequence at the whiteboard — and how it builds habits that transfer to independent workscience applications for vertical whiteboardshow to start without spending a ton of money and without overhauling your whole classroomIf you've heard of Building Thinking Classrooms by Peter Liljedahl, this connects to that — but we're not doing a book review here.

Software valuations remain squeezed amid dire predictions of ‘SaaSpocalypse'. But the real future of the sector is likely to be more complex, as RBC's recent Canadian Private Tech Conference underlined. In this episode, Software Analysts Paul Treiber (Canada) and Rishi Jaluria (U.S.) reflect on the competing visions presented at the event, and consider how AI's impact on the sector – and other industries – is playing out.Key Points• Innovation will be the key differentiator for software companies' survival as AI disruption continues.• AI is targeting companies' labor budgets rather than IT spend.• Software M&A remains subdued, pending a recovery in valuations.• Power constraints are limiting the scaling of AI.Introductions [00:06]Paul Treiber introduces colleague Rishi Jaluria for a discussion about the RBC Canadian Private Tech Conference, which featured 25 differentiated tech companies.Software's future [00:40]The conference presented competing views of AI's impact on software. Some foresee the ‘SaaSpocalypse', with software headcount shrinking as AI self-compounds. Others are harnessing AI to move faster and say their customers are expanding software use. Vertical software firms in regulated, workflow-dense environments are better insulated from disruption.Labor impact [03:09]Rather than eating into IT budgets, AI is cannibalizing labor. Beyond software, entire industries are being disrupted. Some believe financial intermediation may disappear.Constraints on AI [04:43]AI processing is accelerating, but memory is growing more slowly and interconnect failing to keep pace, acting as a constraint.M&A [05:15]M&A activity is subdued and will only revive with a recovery in valuations.Sovereign clouds [05:52]Sovereign clouds are seen by some as a tailwind for Canadian companies. Others believe local hosting will prove unnecessary.

Why you should listenChris Widmayer took Penrod from a generalist Salesforce shop to one of the top five healthcare partners at Salesforce, and lifted gross margins by about 15% (now sitting between 47% and 55%) by committing to a single vertical.Learn how he built productized packages and SaaS products on top of his services so the business earns at high margin without him in every delivery, now 20% of revenue.Take away his reframe on measuring AI: stop counting hours saved and start measuring whether your people can do the work of three or four, with concrete examples of where that actually shows up.Taking every client who pays and telling yourself revenue is revenue? That call feels safe and it quietly caps your margins, your hiring, and the level you get to consult at. In this episode, I talk with Chris Widmyer from Penrod, who walked away from a huge slice of his addressable market to go all in on one healthcare vertical and became one of the top five healthcare partners at Salesforce. He is candid about the revenue dip that came first, and what changed once his whole team spoke the customer's language instead of only Salesforce. If you are stuck competing on certifications while clients treat you as a vendor, this is the shift that moves you to trusted advisor.About Chris WidmayerGideon Shalwick is the founder and CEO of Penrod, a healthcare consulting agency built around great patient experiences. A developer by trade with more than 30 years writing code, he turns complex technical work into strategies healthcare IT leaders can act on, helping enterprise health systems build the data infrastructure, compliance frameworks, and AI-ready foundations they need to grow.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Brendan Kaminsky. Founder of B Known Agency, a boutique branding and digital marketing firm specializing in sports and entertainment. Kaminsky shares his journey from consulting, to working at ESPN, to eventually launching his own agency. He discusses helping major personalities like Stephen A. Smith, Jalen Rose, Harrison Barnes, and Rich Eisen develop strong social media identities and storytelling strategies. Brendan explains why he left ESPN after six and a half years—despite the security, prestige, and Disney benefits—to pursue entrepreneurship. He describes how brand building has shifted from traditional media to a landscape where relatability, vertical video, audience engagement, and consistent content matter more than follower counts. He also talks about the pressure of managing public-facing work in real time, the importance of being accessible to high‑profile clients, the rising role of AI in content creation, and how social platforms have become core to modern marketing strategies. Additionally, Brendan shares specific examples of working with Jalen Rose on mixing sports commentary with community-focused storytelling and describes how Rich Eisen’s annual “Run Rich Run” 40‑yard dash evolved into a signature charitable brand moment. The interview closes with insights on relationship-building, authenticity, and visibility—reinforcing that in the digital era, it’s not just “who you know,” but who knows you. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW 1. To highlight Brendan Kaminsky’s entrepreneurial journey McDonald explores how Kaminsky transitioned from a major corporation (ESPN) to founding a successful agency. 2. To educate listeners on the evolving world of branding and digital media Kaminsky explains how branding now depends on relatability, vertical video, and engagement over follower count. 3. To provide actionable guidance for entrepreneurs and creators The interview teaches how consistency, accessibility, and storytelling help build a recognizable digital brand. 4. To show how athletes and media personalities use content to expand influence Brendan walks through real client strategies—from Jalen Rose’s community work to Rich Eisen’s fundraising dash. 5. To explore the role of AI in modern marketing Kaminsky discusses how AI assists with analytics, research, and identifying viral content moments. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Relatability drives modern branding People connect with authenticity, not polished promotion. Talk to your audience, not at them. 2. Engagement matters more than follower count Algorithms reward content that resonates, regardless of how many people follow you. A creator with 10,000 followers can hit a million views. 3. Social media requires presence and accessibility High-profile clients expect responsiveness; being available is key to agency success. 4. Vertical video is the new standard Optimizing content for mobile consumption is essential—TV graphics no longer dictate how content is built. 5. AI is an asset, not a threat Kaminsky uses AI for virality scoring, caption suggestions, research, and identifying strong clips from long-form content. 6. Data tells the story Success can be clearly measured through views, engagement, and growth—unlike billboards or traditional media. 7. Use “hot topics” to highlight deeper work For clients like Jalen Rose, trending sports conversations help drive attention to community-focused initiatives like his leadership academy. 8. Brand moments can start from something small Rich Eisen’s 40-yard dash evolved into a signature charity event and content anchor. 9. Entrepreneurship requires trusting your gut He left ESPN without telling anyone beforehand to avoid discouragement—because he felt the pull to build his own vision. 10. Visibility creates opportunity In the digital era, it’s not just who you know—it’s who knows you. NOTABLE QUOTES On entrepreneurship “I trusted my gut… I didn’t tell one person I was leaving ESPN because I didn’t want anyone to make me doubt myself.” On branding “People want to relate to you. They want to get to know you.” “Talk directly to your audience.” On social metrics “It’s become a lot more about engagement and views than total follower number.” On accessibility “You could be the best at your job, but if a client can’t reach you, it doesn’t matter.” On visibility “It’s not about who you know—it’s about who knows you.” On AI “AI is absolutely an asset… it helps us with research, analytics, even virality scoring.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Season 3 is here with new co-host Lily. This episode tackles a question every designer should sit with: are you mastering your craft, or just mastering your tools?They dig into why "Figma" isn't a skill, designers vibe coding their own tools, and what a pro photographer with a Barbie camera teaches about fundamentals. Plus: why cross-platform handoffs are still broken, what AI agent demos conveniently skip, and the Ferrari Luce debate, where brand legacy meets bold new design.00:00 Intro: Welcome to Season 300:14 Craft vs. Tooling: The Core Debate01:18 Building Your Own Tools03:40 Analog vs. Hyper-Future05:22 Tooling That Incentivizes Better Design06:49 Designing for Context, Not Just Platform08:22 Cross-Platform Continuity & The AI Demo Problem18:24 Bringing It Back: What Is Craft, Really?20:09 How Tool Companies Captured Design Culture22:45 The Ferrari Luce: When Brand Meets New Craft27:00 Digital vs. Tactile in Car Interiors32:37 Wrap-Up: Own the Vertical
Captain James Fanell emphasizes the critical need for expanded United States naval power to counter China's massive fleet. He advocates for increased ship production and more vertical launch cells to maintain global maritime security standards. (8)
In this inspiring episode of Reading With Your Kids, we begin with a short tribute to Jane Yolen, beloved former guest and legendary author of more than 400 children's books, whose stories have touched generations of young readers and their families. Then we blast off—literally—with our guest, Dr. Kathy Sullivan, often called the most vertical woman in the world. Dr. Kathy is the first American woman to walk in space and the first woman and first certified oceanographer to dive to the Challenger Deep, the deepest place in the world's oceans. Jed and Dr. Kathy talk about courage, curiosity, and calculated risk—how she learned from her dad, small boats, and little airplanes to think carefully about danger and purpose rather than chasing thrills. She describes what it's really like to float outside a spacecraft in a spacesuit that's basically a personal spaceship, and what she saw 7 miles beneath the ocean's surface, where strange, delicate, often transparent creatures live in total darkness. Dr. Kathy also shares the big idea behind her children's books, How to Spacewalk and How to Dive to the Deepest Place on Earth—inviting kids to feel like they're right on her shoulder, joining the adventure. Along the way, she reminds us that Earth itself is a spaceship and that our oceans, forests, and atmosphere are our life support system, connecting every living thing. This is a perfect episode for families who love science, stories, and big conversations about our amazing planet.
Vertical jump improved by over three centimetres in elite soccer players after just six weeks, simply by targeting one overlooked part of cellular biology: the mitochondria. Angela Foster talks with Dr Anurag Singh, Chief Medical Officer at Timeline, about the science of mitophagy, the process that clears out dysfunctional mitochondria, and how the clinically studied compound urolithin A supports it. They walk through real clinical trial data spanning soccer players, elite weightlifters and Olympic-level runners, with a particular focus on findings in women, exploring measurable gains in strength, power and recovery markers like reduced muscle damage and perceived effort. Listeners will learn why mitochondrial renewal takes weeks rather than days to show up, what it actually means when energy dips after stopping supplementation and rebounds on restarting, and why this matters especially for women navigating perimenopause, when recovery and inflammation can shift noticeably. Tune in to understand what's really happening at the cellular level behind your energy and recovery. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understand mitochondrial health as a three-stage cycle: biogenesis (creating new mitochondria), fission and fusion (making existing ones more efficient), and mitophagy (clearing out dysfunctional ones). Neglecting that final clearance step is, as Dr Singh puts it, like never taking the garbage out of a cluttered house. Expect mitochondrial and performance benefits to build gradually rather than instantly. Clinical studies show improved mitochondrial health in muscle tissue after one month, with measurable strength and power gains showing up after two to four months, so don't judge a mitochondria-targeted intervention by how you feel after a week. Pay attention to recovery markers, not just strength numbers, when evaluating training interventions. In a four-week study with elite runners, those taking mitopure showed lower rate of perceived exertion and lower creatine kinase, a muscle damage marker, suggesting easier recovery rather than just raw performance gains. Try a deliberate break from a supplement or intervention to gauge whether it's actually working for you. Both Angela and Dr Singh independently noticed an energy dip after stopping urolithin A supplementation, which is a practical way to separate real effect from placebo. Look for research that specifically includes women, since women are historically underrepresented in supplement and performance studies. Timeline's trials run roughly two-thirds female participants, which matters for understanding how recovery and inflammation patterns shift during phases like perimenopause. STANDOUT QUOTES "If we have a super cluttered house, there's only so much we can do to improve it. At one point, we've got to take out the garbage." — Dr Anurag Singh "Rome wasn't built in a day." — Dr Anurag Singh "It's the only thing we know outside of exercise and fasting that hits that mitochondria specific autophagy." — Dr Anurag Singh "I feel like I can do everything and have fun with my kids." — Angela Foster "That's the reason we're doing all this, right? It's our life. We want to live it healthily, fully." — Dr Anurag Singh VALUABLE RESOURCES • Take the BioSyncing Quiz to help you understand what's actually happening in your body and how to fix it.
This episode is part of our occasional Fintech Revealed series, where we do an extended deep dive into one topic with two industry experts. The topic today is vertical fintech, and I am joined by Matt Hennessy, the Business Lead at Increase, the modern banking infrastructure company, and Jamie Fox, the General Manager of Fintech at Tekion, the AI-native cloud platform that runs the entire business for auto dealerships across the US, Canada, and the UK. Tekion built its embedded banking on Increase, so the two of them give us both sides of the same story: the platform that lives inside the dealership and the infrastructure that connects it to the banking system. We get into the surprisingly large money flows inside a single dealership, why paper checks still beat instant rails for many operators, how compliance and trust get engineered into the product, and just how big this embedded banking opportunity gets.What We CoveredWhat vertical fintech is and why it matters nowThe money flows hiding inside a single car dealershipWhy outbound dealer spend is roughly 2x inboundOperating account vs. ledgering account adoption pathsDealer-to-dealer payments as a ledger change with zero rail feesInstant rails: RTP, FedNow, and Request for PaymentThe persistence of paper checks and the cost to operationalize themDirect Fed access vs. layers of middlewareCompliance as code, codified into the productBuilding trust in building blocksWhere agentic payments and "know your agent" fit inHow large the embedded banking opportunity ultimately getsKey TakeawaysOwning the financial system of record inside core operating software is the defensible position in an age when light "systems of engagement" can be replicated with AI.Outbound payments, not inbound, are the bigger prize: US auto dealerships pushed out roughly $1.3 trillion in 2024, about 2x what they took in.The barrier to instant rails is education, not technology. Many dealers do not know RTP or FedNow exists, or that they can pay a vendor any day of the week.Trust cannot be launched all at once. Holding a dealer's operating cash is a different level of trust than processing a payment they can fall back on, and it is earned in building blocks.For the founding story and more about Increase, check out my conversation with CEO and Founder Darragh Buckley from last year.Connect with Fintech One-on-One:Tweet me @PeterRentonConnect with me on LinkedInFind previous Fintech One-on-One episodes
Sundar Subramanian, CEO of Zyter, points out that the primary issue in healthcare is not a lack of AI intelligence but a failure in AI execution. He advocates for a vertical AI integration approach that solves entire domain-specific workflows rather than horizontal or point solutions that automate existing, often inefficient processes. To ensure safe and effective use of AI, implement guardrails that promote transparency and augment clinicians by reducing friction, helping reduce errors, and building trust. Sundar explains, "You see a lot of AI companies around, but when you look at healthcare, especially the problem we have in healthcare, it is actually not an AI intelligence problem. What we have is an AI execution problem. The models are really growing fast and can do all kinds of tasks, but if you look at healthcare and the overall healthcare economy, trillions of dollars are still spent on lots of manual processes because doing things at scale and executing things at scale is not easy. And so Zyter is a company that's trying to solve that problem, which is really how do you coordinate and execute workflows end-to-end safely, transparently, and with humans trusting it and still in control. And so that's what we intend to do and are doing at Zyter." "So what we mean by that is that problems get solved at the domain level. And when you solve problems at the domain level, it's not a single decision problem. You can embed horizontal tools to enable convenience and do things slightly better than they are today by embedding point solutions, and lots of platforms can help do that. But when you solve for a domain workflow end-to-end, you need a lot of domain intelligence. You need to understand how the regulatory context works. You need to understand how policies and the governance of those policies need to be done. So it's not a single decision problem. And to do that, you need to orchestrate across lots of tools and data that span many domains to solve for outcomes like healthcare access, total cost of care, or quality." #ZyterAI #AIinHealthcare #HealthIT #ClinicalWorkflow #DigitalHealth #HealthcareInnovation #CareDelivery #HealthSystems #Payers #ValueBasedCare Zyter.ai Download the transcript here

Achieving success in real estate isn't about predicting the future. While many investors have spent the last few years waiting for certainty, some of the best operators in the industry, including today's guests, have been quietly positioning themselves to acquire high-quality assets at significant discounts and prepare for the next market cycle.That's why I'm excited to welcome founding partners of RREAF Holdings, Kip Sowden and Doug McKnight. With nearly 80 years of combined investment experience spanning multiple economic cycles, they've built a vertically integrated real estate investment and operating company that has grown from $100 million in assets to nearly $5 billion. Their disciplined approach and commitment to long-term value creation have helped them navigate market downturns while continuing to uncover opportunities others overlook.In this conversation, we discussed why today's market dislocation is creating some of the best buying opportunities in years and why the quality of sponsors matters more than ever. They also reveal the reasons why they're bullish on build-to-rent communities, mobile home parks, distressed acquisitions, and the lessons they've learned from navigating decades of market cycles.In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ How Kip and Doug used vertical integration to scale RREAF from approximately $100 million to nearly $5 billion in AUM.✅ How RREAF's vertically integrated operating model helps them identify opportunities, manage risk, and outperform competitors across multiple real estate sectors.✅ How changing housing preferences among younger generations and first-time homebuyers are creating new opportunities in build-to-rent communities, mobile home parks, and other residential real estate sectors.
