    In this episode of The Jess Larsen Show on Innovation & Leadership, Jess sits down with Dan Eberhard, Founder & CEO of Koho, one of Canada's most exciting fintech companies. Dan shares how Koho grew from a scrappy idea challenging Canada's powerful banking system into a company with 2 million customers, hundreds of millions raised, and a real shot at building the next great bank in Canada. Dan opens up about his unconventional path from growing up in a small mountain town in British Columbia to building wind farms, selling his first company, and eventually launching Koho after seeing how much wealth traditional financial products were extracting from everyday Canadians. Jess and Dan dive into the realities of building a fintech company in a market dominated by major banks, including the early grind of raising money, convincing partners like Visa and People's Trust, nearly running out of cash, and moving the company to Toronto after an investor ultimatum. Dan also breaks down how Koho thinks about product-market fit, customer behavior, fundraising, leadership, and building through chaos. This is a powerful conversation about entrepreneurship, financial freedom, resilience, and what it really takes to build a company that can challenge an entrenched industry.

    On this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis and producer Eric dive into a surprising statistic: Meta Reels has grown into a $50 billion annual revenue machine, generating more revenue than major brands like Netflix, Nike, Spotify, Airbnb, and Coca-Cola. Their conversation explores the economics of social media platforms, content monetization, creator payouts, and how entrepreneurs can capitalize on the growing creator economy. Along the way, they compare the revenues of some of the world's biggest companies and discuss how digital content has become one of the most powerful business models in history. On this episode we talk about: How Meta Reels became a $50 billion annual revenue business Comparing the revenues of companies like Coca-Cola, Netflix, Nike, Visa, Spotify, and Airbnb The opportunities and challenges of content monetization on Facebook and Instagram Why creator-focused platforms continue to attract advertisers and investment Lessons from Airbnb's growth, changing customer experience, and business model evolution Top 3 Takeaways Attention is one of the most valuable assets in business, and platforms that capture it at scale can generate enormous revenue. Content creators are often leaving money on the table by failing to activate or optimize platform monetization programs. Building an audience creates multiple income opportunities, from ad revenue and sponsorships to long-term business growth and brand partnerships. Notable Quotes "Meta Reels by itself does more revenue than all of those other companies." "It speaks to what we always talk about, which is the personal branding and audience growth and how that relates to your ability to make money long term." "Attention is valuable, and the platforms that own attention have built some of the biggest businesses in the world."

    In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: I have been at a small startup company for 5 years now. It's a very small technical team, 4 devs and a tech lead that contributes code & architecture. I am getting a small raise this week for my 5 years but it's a smaller raise than I was expecting. We're an all remote team across the globe but I had a dev co worker in the same city as me just leave the company. This has put more pressure on me as I'm the only dev in the primary time zone we operate in, everyone else is east coast or opposite side of the world. With the added pressure and some forward comments from me in one on ones with my tech lead I expected much more that I'm being offered. I think I'm supposed to quit my job but I'm terrified of that idea. This is my first job in the field and I love the work. The full stack startup experience is fun and I've learned so much, and I like my team a lot. I've never even applied to another position in tech yet, I got this one with the first application I sent out. That's not even considering the current state of the field rapidly changing with AI and the general lack of jobs I am constantly hearing about in tech. Is there a world where I should tell my boss I'm thinking about leaving? I've become an integral part of the team I think that would result in movement upwards, but that sounds so risky if I haven't even put in an application anywhere else. Should I take the old quit your job advice even when the field is so shaky? Thanks guys! And you reading the patreon names is the best part of my week too. Hi there, I'm about 4 years into my career. I'm at my second job after leaving university. The first was at a firm under 50 employees and the current is at a firm with a global footprint and several thousand employees. Both are in Europe. I moved to Europe on a work visa as a pathway to citizenship. I've never felt like either my past or current employer has taken advantage of my situation, but it's important that I keep my job. At both employers, I generally work one weekend day a week to meet expectations and keep on the promotion train. I'm not the only one; several of my colleagues do the same. For now I have the time to work late, as my significant other is back home. Soon they'll be moving over, however, and they have made clear they will not be okay with me going into work every Saturday. Maybe I'm paranoid. Maybe the expectations at work aren't clear. Maybe this is part of software. But basically, how do I get to a point where I can checkout on weekends and not feel guilty or like I'm falling behind? Do I need to work longer weekdays? Do I need to sacrifice promotions? Do I need to get better at saying no?

    The world is obsessed with the World Cup. Soccer, or what most of the world calls football, is the most popular sport across the globe. And no event captures more attention than the World Cup. And the host of the World Cup has the global attention on them throughout the tournament. This year's tournament is the first to be hosted by three different countries, the United States, Mexico and Canada. It is a remarkable opportunity to build a nation's image and reputation and build goodwill. But has this year's World Cup and the controversies around it enhanced the images of these three nations? In particular, the tournament is taking place during a war where the country the US attacked, Iran, is playing in the US. Visa issues to enter the United States have dominated the news. And the high price of tickets for events have resulted in empty seats in stadiums. On today's show, we will explore what is being called the “most political World Cup in history” and its impact on the hosts of the event.

    Carolyn Pham, the former CFTC commissioner now leading MoonPay's institutional push, says crypto has roughly two and a half years to become too big to fail — and the numbers already prove it's happening. Stablecoins did $28 trillion in volume in a single quarter, dwarfing Visa and MasterCard combined. Tokenized repo is hitting $10 trillion every month. In this conversation recorded live at Consensus 2026, Carolyn breaks down what MoonPay Institutional actually means for every bank and asset manager trying to get into crypto without building from scratch, why the narrative that DeFi is incompatible with KYC is a complete fallacy, and how she built America's first digital asset taxonomy at the CFTC that became the foundation for everything the SEC and CFTC are doing now. She explains why this isn't disruption but modernization, how a $100 million acquisition of Israeli defense tech cybersecurity gives MoonPay the wallet infrastructure institutions actually trust, and why a Bitcoin in every brokerage account is the real point of no return.

    VOV1 - Chính phủ Nhật Bản vừa đưa ra quyết định tăng lệ phí cấp thị thực nhập cảnh cho người nước ngoài lên mức cao chưa từng có tính từ năm 1978 đến nay, gây xôn xao dư luận với nhiều nhận định liên quan đến bài toán quá tải du khách nước ngoài.Theo quyết định của Chính phủ Nhật Bản, từ ngày 1/7/2026, lệ phí xin cấp thị thực nhập cảnh 1 lần vào nước này sẽ tăng từ 3.000 JPY hiện nay lên 15.000 Yên (tương đương khoảng 2,5 triệu VND), thị thực nhập cảnh nhiều lần sẽ là 30.000 JPY (khoảng 5 triệu VND), thay vì 6.000 Yên như hiện nay. Đây là mức tăng chưa từng có trong suốt 48 năm qua, trong bối cảnh Nhật Bản đang liên tục phải đối mặt với tình trạng quá tải du khách nước ngoài trong nhiều năm trở lại đây.Bên cạnh đó, các loại lệ phí liên quan đến visa khác cũng có khả năng tăng gấp nhiều chục lần, trong đó, lệ phí xin thay đổi tư cách lưu trú có thể sẽ tăng từ 6.000 JPY hiện nay lên đến 100.000 JPY, lệ phí xin quyền vĩnh trú có thể sẽ tăng gấp 30 lần, lên tới 300.000 JPY (tương đương khoảng 50 triệu VND)Trả lời báo chí về vấn đề này, Ngoại trưởng Nhật Bản Motegi Toshimitsu nhấn mạnh quyết định này là nhằm để đối phó với tình trạng vật giá leo thang và đồng nội tệ Nhật Bản mất giá hiện nay. Ông Motegi còn cho biết thêm: “Chúng tôi cũng đã cân nhắc tới nhiều ảnh hưởng của quyết định này, từ đó nghĩ rằng chưa có ảnh hưởng ngay tới vấn đề du khách nước ngoài tới Nhật Bản”.Giới quan sát cho rằng, mặc dù “chưa có ảnh hưởng ngay” như lời Bộ trưởng Motegi nêu trên, nhưng trong một tương lai gần, quyết định này sẽ tác động trực tiếp đến quyết định đi du lịch Nhật Bản của du khách nhiều nước, đặc biệt là các quốc gia có thu nhập trung bình và thấp. Ngoài ra, đây cũng được cho là vấn đề cần đặc biệt lưu ý đối với những người nước ngoài đang và sẽ sinh sống, học tập, làm việc tại Nhật Bản./. Tuấn Nhật /VOV TokyoPhủ Thủ tướng Nhật Bản (ảnh VOV Tokyo)

    In this episode of the Merchant Sales Podcast, James sits down with Bob Lovinger, Founder and CEO of FlexxBuy and CEO of Coach Financing, to discuss why consumer financing remains one of the biggest untapped opportunities for agents, ISOs, and software providers. From coaching programs and professional services to home improvement and medical practices, Bob explains how financing can help merchants close more sales, increase average ticket sizes, and create a better customer experience. The conversation explores the evolution of buy now, pay later, the growing demand for financing in today's economy, how financing fits into the sales process, and why many merchants are missing revenue simply because they aren't offering enough payment flexibility. Plus, Patti Murphy's Today in Payments segment covers the proposed $38 billion Visa and Mastercard settlement, interchange transparency, AI-powered payments, remittance taxes, and emerging automation trends shaping the industry.

    In this episode of Fraudology, Karisse Hendrick provides a comprehensive debrief following the Merchant Risk Council (MRC) Vegas conference. Karisse shares her highlights and lowlights from one of the industry's biggest events, cutting through the conference hype to provide practical insights for fraud and payments professionals.The conversation explores the evolving mechanics of Agentic AI in commerce, detailing how tools like Sardine are now identifying AI agents by monitoring "invisible" behaviors, such as fields being filled without mouse movement. Karisse provides an inside look at why OpenAI recently shelved its "instant checkout" feature, moving away from being a merchant of record to avoid the liability of chargebacks and complex transaction enablement.We also explore the "hot topics" dominating the fraud landscape today:The VAMP Threshold "Cliff": How Visa is drastically reducing high-risk merchant ratios from 220 basis points to 150 basis points this April, potentially catching many enterprise merchants off guard.The Complexity of Agentic Chargebacks: Real-world examples of "authorized" AI purchases where merchants are losing disputes because card brands like Visa do not yet have established "compelling evidence" protocols for AI agents.The Human Element vs. AI: Why senior fraud leadership cannot be replaced by LLMs, as the critical "domain expertise" required to manage sophisticated fraud is not found in open-source data.Additionally, Karisse dives into the latest FTC fraud statistics, revealing a staggering 430% increase in fraud since 2020. We break down the $375 million jury verdict against Meta in New Mexico, a historic win for child safety that challenges the long-standing "Section 230" liability shield. Finally, we examine a Reuters study uncovering how Meta's ability to block scam ads depends almost entirely on the financial liability they face in specific countries.

    El presidente cubano, Miguel Díaz-Canel, anunció reformas destinadas a liberalizar la economía de la isla, en una medida que podría marcar un punto de inflexión para el modelo político y económico cubano. El anuncio llega en un contexto de fuerte presión sobre la economía del país, duramente afectada por el bloqueo petrolero impuesto por Washington desde comienzos de año, que ha agravado la crisis energética y económica que atraviesa la isla. El mandatario aseguró que el gobierno agilizará y descentralizará la aprobación de nuevos emprendimientos privados, con el objetivo de estimular la producción y dinamizar una economía golpeada por la escasez de combustible y las sanciones estadounidenses. Sin embargo, Daniel Pedreira, profesor de Ciencias Políticas de la Universidad Internacional de Florida, expresa sus dudas sobre el alcance real de estas medidas. “Yo creo que son cambios menores. El tiempo lo dirá”, afirma el profesor. “Este anuncio es muy nuevo, pero hemos visto en la historia del gobierno cubano que cuando ha hecho aperturas similares, pequeñas, modestas, ha dado ciertos espacios para los cubanos, a ciertos negocios, a ciertas empresas y después viene, cuando ya van teniendo éxito, y elimina esa apertura, elimina lo que ha ganado cubanos que han participado de esas aperturas y vuelve a lo mismo”, afirma Daniel Pedreira mostrando su escepticismo. “Por el momento yo sospecho que puede ser otro mecanismo de este gobierno de intentar ganar tiempo, ganar apoyo sin de verdad implementar cambios estructurales significativos al sistema económico”, concluye. Por su parte, el politólogo e historiador cubano Armando Chaguaceda analiza las razones de la persistente falta de inversión extranjera en la isla. “No hay capital ruso o chino que vaya a sustituir a las empresas españolas y aquí están apostando por un capital cubano emigrado, exiliado, al que se le ha privado hasta muy recientemente, salvo en algunos casos de empresarios vinculados a la élite”, explica el politólogo. “Los cubanos para invertir tienen que tener garantías jurídicas, porque a esos mismos cubanos les han negado una serie de derechos por el hecho de emigrar. Ahora, a la carrera, el gobierno quiere convencer a aquella gente a la que ha despreciado, de la que ha querido los dólares, pero no la ha devuelto derechos, que sean inversores en una operación de altísimo riesgo”, afirma. Además de restringir el flujo de petróleo hacia Cuba, Washington ha limitado el acceso del país a la banca internacional, provocando incluso la salida de operadores como Visa y Mastercard. Esta estrategia buscaría debilitar al conglomerado militar GAESA, que según expertos, controla el 40 % del producto interno bruto (PIB) de la isla.

Lauren Clarke sits down with Mark Overmann, Executive Director of the Alliance for International Exchange, to unpack the quiet crisis hitting seasonal businesses from the Jersey Shore to the Ozarks. The J1 Summer Work Travel program has been filling the gap in America's seasonal workforce for more than 50 years — but this summer, a State Department deprioritization order and a 6x slowdown in visa interview processing times have left up to 19,000 vetted, job-ready students stranded without an interview slot. Mark explains how a cultural exchange program became the backbone of seasonal staffing, why this is a policy and a capacity problem at the same time, what a bipartisan group of House members is doing about it, and what needs to change before summer 2027.

    The FIFA World Cup is supposed to be football's greatest celebration - a month where politics takes a back seat, nations come together, and the beautiful game takes centre stage. But as the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off across the United States, Canada and Mexico, many fans are asking a very different question: has this tournament already become the biggest mess in World Cup history? From visa chaos affecting fans, officials and even FIFA-appointed referees, to entire groups of supporters being unable to attend matches, soaring ticket prices, travel nightmares, geopolitical tensions, and growing concerns over FIFA's leadership, controversy seems to be following this World Cup everywhere it goes. Visa denials are affecting officials and referees, while disputes involving Iranian supporters and travel restrictions have cast a shadow over the tournament before many games have even begun. Nima Tavallaey is invited onto various media platforms (BBC, TalkSport, Al Jazeera, Time Radio etc) to discuss the storm surrounding FIFA 2026: the political battles, the fan backlash, the referee controversies, the travel restrictions, the U.S.–Iran tensions, the questions over fairness and accessibility, and the mounting criticism directed at FIFA President Gianni Infantino and the organization itself. Whether you believe football and politics can never truly be separated or you think FIFA has completely lost control of its flagship competition, one thing is becoming impossible to ignore: before a ball has even been kicked in anger, the 2026 World Cup is already generating headlines for all the wrong reasons. So is this simply a difficult tournament facing extraordinary circumstances, or are we witnessing the most chaotic and politically charged World Cup ever staged?

    Fake Degrees, Stolen Jobs? The H-1B Visa Scandal Explodes

    DESCRIPTION A bombshell investigation into alleged fake college degrees tied to the H-1B visa program is sending shockwaves through the workforce debate. Charlie breaks down reports of counterfeit engineering, nursing, and medical credentials, the role of foreign diploma mills, and why critics say American graduates have been paying the price for years. Plus, the political battle behind immigration policy, corporate lobbying, and the growing scrutiny of visa programs that were originally designed to fill high-skilled positions. PODCAST SUMMARY Charlie examines explosive allegations involving fraud within the H-1B visa system after reports surfaced that authorities in India uncovered large-scale diploma mill operations allegedly producing counterfeit academic credentials. According to the discussion, investigators have identified thousands of fake degrees spanning engineering, healthcare, nursing, and other professional fields. The episode explores concerns that the visa program, originally intended to address shortages of highly skilled workers, may have been exploited by fraudulent applicants and organizations seeking access to U.S. employment opportunities. Charlie argues that these developments raise serious questions about credential verification, workforce oversight, and the impact on American graduates entering STEM-related professions. The conversation also examines the political and financial interests surrounding immigration policy, including the role of corporate lobbying and visa expansion efforts. Charlie contends that labor market competition has been artificially influenced by policies that increase the supply of workers in certain industries, putting downward pressure on wages and employment opportunities. Additionally, the show highlights investigations conducted by state officials and discusses how enforcement actions overseas may have exposed weaknesses in credential verification systems used by employers and government agencies. The episode concludes with a broader discussion about trust in institutions, workforce qualifications, and the need for greater transparency in programs designed to bring skilled labor into the United States. KEY TAKEAWAYS Reports of counterfeit academic credentials have intensified scrutiny of the H-1B visa system. Investigators have reportedly uncovered diploma mills issuing fake degrees across multiple professional fields. Engineering, healthcare, and nursing credentials are among the areas receiving increased attention. Questions remain about how credentials are verified during employment and visa approval processes. American STEM graduates continue to face challenges in a competitive labor market. Corporate lobbying remains a major factor in immigration and workforce policy debates. Visa programs intended for skilled workers are facing renewed calls for oversight and reform. Workforce credential verification may become a larger national policy issue moving forward.

Created by Reppel and now backed by Visa, Stripe, Cloudflare, Microsoft, and others under the Linux Foundation, it lets any agent pay for any content or API with two lines of code and a stablecoin transaction that costs less than a cent. - Timecodes: 00:00 - Erik from x402 at Consensus Miami 2026 00:48 - The Internet Was Designed for Humans, Not Agents  03:53 - AI Is About to Break the Internet's Economic Model  05:03 - Defining What an Agent Actually Is  08:59 - Open Protocols vs Walled Gardens  12:21 - x402: An Open Standard for Internet Native Payments  15:02 - Why Now Is the Right Time for Agentic Payments

    Mike Dudas holds zero ETH and sees Hyperliquid as crypto's Tether moment. He also has a clear framework for what makes a token worth buying. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! Fidelity: Explore crypto careers and make the decision that could change your future at https://crypto.fidelitycareers.com ======================================================== Strategy sold 32 Bitcoin, worth just $2.5 million, and the market didn't miss it. For Mike Dudas, Managing Partner at 6th Man Ventures, the sale broke the "never sell" promise that sustained the company's premium. He doesn't see how the narrative gets rebuilt. Dudas applies the same unsentimental read to the rest of the L1 landscape. His firm holds zero ETH — five years of contradictory narratives have left the market unable to value it. In his view, Solana's decline is simpler: memecoin activity peaked and hasn't recovered. Hyperliquid, in his view, is closer to Tether than a competing L1: the no-KYC international market is enormous, and asset quality is the moat. His framework for tokens worth owning: programmatic buybacks and consistent communication from leadership. On AI, he argues agentic trading will far outpace agentic payments — Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe are moving too fast for new entrants to displace them.

    Travel Rewards 101 | Devon Gimbel from Point Me to First Class

    ChooseFI

    Devon Gimbel just booked over $250,000 in travel last year using credit card points—but she's the first to tell you award travel isn't "free." It's a strategy for 10x-ing your existing travel budget by strategically matching your routine spending to the right credit cards. Since ChooseFI's original Travel Rewards 101 in 2017, the landscape has matured: annual fees are higher, issuer rules are stricter, and new players like Bilt have revolutionized the game by letting you earn points on rent and mortgage payments. Yet the fundamentals remain: with deliberate card selection and an understanding of transferable points currencies, it's still entirely possible to unlock one to two meaningful trips per year—whether that's economy flights to national parks or first-class seats to Tokyo. Key Topics Discussed 00:00:00 - Introduction and State of Travel Rewards in 2026 Brad introduces Devon Gimbel and discusses how travel rewards have evolved since ChooseFI's first Travel Rewards 101 episode in 2017. They address whether earning significant travel value is still possible despite higher annual fees and stricter rules. 00:05:30 - The Evolution of Award Travel Community Devon reflects on how the travel rewards community has matured since 2013-2014, moving from a monotone focus on premium cabin travel to showcasing diverse travel styles including domestic trips, family travel, and national park adventures. 00:11:45 - Getting Started: First Steps for Beginners Devon outlines how beginners should approach travel rewards by analyzing their top spending categories and selecting one or two intentionally chosen credit cards with strong bonus categories rather than immediately pursuing dozens of sign-up bonuses. 00:16:20 - Sign-Up Bonuses vs. Everyday Spend Strategy Discussion of the balance between chasing new card welcome bonuses and building a sustainable credit card portfolio with strong category bonuses. Devon explains why a hybrid approach works better for most people than constantly opening new cards. 00:22:15 - Understanding Bonus Categories Deep dive into how credit card bonus categories work, why they matter, and how strategic matching of spending patterns to bonus categories can dramatically increase points earning without changing spending behavior. 00:30:00 - The Power of Flexibility Brad and Devon discuss various dimensions of flexibility in travel rewards including travel dates, destinations, airports, cabin class, and types of points currencies. They share contrasting examples from their recent Japan trips. 00:38:45 - Transferable vs. Fixed Points Currencies Devon explains the critical difference between transferable points programs (Chase, Amex, Capital One, Bilt, Citi) and fixed airline/hotel programs, comparing them to Visa gift cards versus single-merchant gift cards. 00:47:30 - The Rise of Bilt Rewards Discussion of how Bilt has emerged as a major transferable points currency, offering the ability to earn points on rent and mortgage payments while providing strong transfer partners that directly compete with Chase Ultimate Rewards. 00:55:00 - Credit Card Issuer Restrictions in 2026 Devon outlines how credit card eligibility rules have tightened, including Chase's evolving restrictions and once-per-lifetime language similar to American Express, emphasizing the importance of deliberate card selection. 01:02:15 - Calculating Travel Value and Points Redemption Devon shares her methodology for calculating the value of points redemptions using her family's Lufthansa first class trip as an example, discussing the difference between 'free travel' and maximizing travel budget value. 01:12:30 - How Devon Earns 6 Million Points Annually Transparent discussion of Devon's points earning including business expenses, mortgage payments through Bilt, quarterly taxes, shopping portals, and strategic use of bonus categories, with acknowledgment that her situation differs from average users. 01:22:00 - Partnership Strategy for Couples Devon expla…
