Daniel and Shawn step back for a mid-year review of the Intrinsic Value Portfolio, revisiting each holding to test the strength of their original theses and weigh what's changed. From ride-hailing to beauty retail, this episode covers the full lineup: why Uber's cross-sell flywheel and Waymo partnership reinforce its moat; how Alphabet's latest earnings measure up against the growing threat of AI-native search; and why Reddit may succeed where Snapchat struggled, turning engagement into monetisation. You'll hear updates on Q1 earnings, commentary on management execution, and discussions on whether current valuations still offer upside or warrant trimming. They re-evaluate Airbnb's evolving strategy as it expands into services and experiences, break down Ulta Beauty's standout results, and revisit early convictions in new names like Nubank. They also debate the long-term outlook for consumer brands like Nike. Along the way, they reflect on where they've been right, where they've been early, and how to think about sizing, patience, and risk-reward in a concentrated portfolio. Prefer to watch?

This week, we saddle up for another bumpy ride through the dystopian tech clown show. We kick off with the surveillance state's greatest hits: ICE raids sweeping L.A., a website literally called FuckLAPD.com that lets you ID cops by their mug shots, and a Norwegian tourist who learned the hard way that having a JD Vance chipmunk meme on your phone is now grounds for deportation. Pro tip: if you're traveling to the U.S., you might want to wrap your phone in lead and bury it in a cornfield.In the news, Big Balls has apparently rolled his way from Elon's Department of Government Efficiency to the Social Security Administration—because nothing says “government modernization” like a 19-year-old tech bro with a meme nickname. Meanwhile, Tesla robotaxis are hitting the roads (and maybe a few pedestrians) with human babysitters in tow, Waymo and Uber are turning Atlanta into Blade Runner Lite, and Texas wants a permit for your self-driving car. Over in AI hell, judges can't agree if training your chatbot on stolen books is fair use or just digital asbestos. YouTube, never one to miss a race to the bottom, is rolling out an AI Slop button so you can crank up the crap to 11.In Media Candy, Russell Crowe is beefing up his IMDb with Highlander, Henry Cavill is along for the ride, and Anthony Bourdain Day is apparently a thing (even though he'd have rolled his eyes at it). We also dig into everything from Minecraft movies to the sad demise of Blue Microphones at the hands of Logitech. Plus, Dave Bittner drops by to commiserate about malware, retro gaming handhelds, and why some Star Wars maps are basically porn for nerds. And yes—Windows is finally killing the Blue Screen of Death, proving even Microsoft can eventually learn to read the room.DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

However, the big concern lies in its search business. Landon shows data suggesting ChatGPT dominating in search growth.

Our guest on this week's episode is Mark Baxa, president & CEO of The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals, also known as CSCMP. Earlier this week the supply chain industry lost an icon. Fred Smith was the founder of FedEx – a company that has literally revolutionized the delivery business. Our guest discusses how Fred Smith's vision and business savvy has left lasting impacts on the supply chain industry.  Autonomous vehicles continue to see wider adoption while fostering more debates on their safety. Most uses are for robotaxis, with some limited applications for hauling freight. However, this week we saw a rally by Teamsters Union members who lobbied legislators in Massachusetts to pass a state law to require human drivers inside these vehicles. That was a reaction to plans by Waymo — the self-driving car company that is a unit of Google's parent company Alphabet — to start deploying its cars in Massachusetts. Senior Editor Victoria Kickham was in Salt Lake City this week at the SMC3 Connections conference. That's a trucking and supply chain event that takes place each year and draws a crowd of about 500. The conference covered a range of issues, but she says two things really stood out - tariffs/trade and AI. She dives into these two topics in her report.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

After the success of M3GAN, Allison Williams didn't quite fear the stress of doing a sequel. “How lucky are we that we get to do this again? Because it's a dream job.” In M3GAN 2.0 (June 27), we meet Gemma (Williams) and Cady (Violet McGraw) two years after M3GAN, a lifelike robot doll, turned on the humans she was meant to obey. This time she's back, but she's not the only robot doll out for revenge. “One of the great honors of doing a sequel is that the tone is established. People know her vibe. They know who she is and what to expect from her.” And what they can expect this go-around is that it will be unhinged in the best of ways. “They will always be ridiculous in a way: The titular character of the franchise is a robot with a blowout and a gorgeous smoky eye and a wardrobe full of new costumes.” One thing this franchise did ultimately do for Williams is change how she approaches technology. “A Waymo that I get out of, or like our robot vacuum, I'm always like, ‘Thank you so much. Don't kill me someday. Thank you for your work. I'm grateful.'” [laughs] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

LikeFolio's Megan Brantley sees consumers changing their mindsets around Uber Technologies (UBER) and autonomous driving. She talks about ways the company capitalizes on its "captive audience" and how it can keep interest as robotaxi tech evolves.

Tesla is famous for throwing caution to the wind in the name of rolling out cool technology, so it was somewhat surprising to see its robotaxi service launch over the weekend in somewhat muted fashion. The Verge's Andy Hawkins joins the show to explain what, exactly, Elon Musk and co. launched, and what it says about the state of the self-driving revolution. After that, The Verge's Allison Johnson takes us through the history of MVNOs, and why they might just be the best deal in wireless carriers. We talk about Trump Mobile, Ryan Reynolds, e-SIMs, and what it would mean to make it easier to switch service. Finally, we answer a question from the Vergecast Hotline about how to free up storage on your iPhone. It's harder than it should be, but hopefully easier than you think.

Over the weekend, while the world was transfixed by war in the Middle East, the Tesla Robotaxi quietly appeared on the streets of Austin, Texas. It didn’t stay quiet for long, though. As a handful of Tesla influencers filmed themselves driven through the streets of the red state’s famously blue capital, their smartphone videos caught plenty of traffic violations. In this week’s episode David Papadopoulos is joined by Max Chafkin as well as Bloomberg electric vehicles reporter Kara Carlson to break down the launch. Years in the making, and with rivals like Waymo already familiar sights in some big US cities, will Elon Musk be able to spin this as something other than a tepid attempt at catch-up? Tesla investors seem to think so: the stock jumped 8.2% on Monday. Papadopoulos and Chafkin are then joined by Bloomberg social media reporter Kurt Wagner, just back from the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Wagner discusses X’s participation, or rather absence, from the all-important advertising event, and goes through how Musk’s embattled social media platform has reportedly tried to strong-arm advertisers to return by threatening lawsuits. This prompted Papadopoulos to speculate about the equivalent situation for hot dog vendors or shovel salesmen. Lastly, the crew discuss a few additional news item from the week, namely an exploding SpaceX rocket and the recent report that Musk doesn’t use a computer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apple's aggressive acquisition of AI companies, including a $700 million signing bonus for execs, was noted. The conversation also touched on the potential for AI to reduce brain function, the use of fungi to convert Mars dust into oxygen, and the development of self-propelled lawn mowers. Additionally, the feasibility of electric airplanes and the impact of AI on job markets were discussed. The discussion centered on the impact of recent military actions on Iran's nuclear capabilities and regional dynamics. Participants debated the effectiveness of the strikes, noting the destruction of Iran's missile manufacturing and the potential long-term implications. They also discussed the political stances of figures like Candace Owens and Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the broader geopolitical implications for countries like Russia and Ukraine. Additionally, the conversation touched on the Supreme Court's ruling on deporting immigrants to third countries, highlighting the legal and ethical considerations involved

Aeva Technologies (AEVA) shares spiked to a new 52-week high today. George Tsilis dissects the recent bullish activity in the name, pointing to its lidar technology being used by Waymo as a possible catalyst for the stock. For AEVA, George says the company provides sensor technology for the industrial space competing against AMD's Xilinx and Luminar (LAZR). George also details AEVA's partnerships at docking sites and with Daimler Trucks company.

De Chinese overheid is actief betrokken bij een schimmige handel, ontdekte persbureau Reuters. Lokale overheden worden zo erg gepusht om groeidoelstellingen te halen, dat ze meewerken aan het manipuleren van de verkoop van auto's. De overheid deelt zelfs subsidie uit aan die overheden, ambtenaren krijgen bonussen. Een spannend, maar vooral ook gevaarlijk verhaal. Gevaarlijk voor Europese autobedrijven. Je hoort deze aflevering waarom.Dan hoor je ook meer over Apple. Dat krijgt van diezelfde Chinese overheid subsidie. Chinezen die iPhones of iPads kopen krijgen namelijk honderden euro's van de communistische partij.Bespreken we ook de NAVO-top. Waarom doen defensie-aandelen het ineens niet goed meer? En kan president Trump daar verandering in brengen? Je hoort ook waarom hij uithaalt naar Iran én Israël. En we hebben het over Fed-baas Jerome Powell.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1077: Today we're talking about Stellantis' cautious leadership shuffle, Tesla's Robotaxi rollout with safety monitors in the passenger seat, and how AI is quietly shaping the way we talk—even if we don't realize it.Antonio Filosa officially begins his tenure as Stellantis CEO, opting for continuity over disruption by retaining his North America role and promoting from within—a move that left investors wanting more.Filosa will remain based in Detroit and continue overseeing North America to stabilize performance in Stellantis' most troubled region.He trimmed direct reports to 16, down from 33 under Tavares, signaling a leaner leadership model.Key appointments include Scott Thiele as head of supply chain and Monica Genovese as head of purchasing, while all 14 brand chiefs—including Jeep, Fiat, and Maserati—stay in place.Stellantis shares are down 10% since his May appointment.Jefferies analysts dryly noted the split role “suggests that revamping Stellantis may not be a full-time job.”Tesla has officially launched its Robotaxi pilot in Austin, offering driverless rides to a select group of superfans. While early impressions are mostly positive, the rollout wasn't without its quirks—or a couple concerning errors.Service is live in a ~30-square-mile geofenced area of South Austin with limited weather, time, and destination constraints.There's a human “safety monitor” in the passenger seat with emergency controls—and remote teleoperators on standby.Notable fails include one vehicle veering into an oncoming lane mid-turn and another stopping mid-intersection to let out a passenger.Riders must use a separate “Robotaxi” app, distributed via Apple's TestFlight, but noted seamless syncing of personal Tesla profiles (like music) and a smooth ride experience on par with, or better than, current FSD builds.Content creator Chuck Cook praised the performance: “Quite advanced behavior… a more confident parking job than I've personally encountered in a Waymo.”As AI tools like ChatGPT increasingly shape our digital interactions, researchers are now tracking how those patterns are bleeding into how we actually talk with some surprising, and maybe unsettling, results.In academic YouTube videos, usage of words like “delve” and “adept” has jumped over 50% since ChatGPT's release.Spoken language is becoming more structured and emotionally muted—mirroring AI's formal tone.Researchers warn this shift erodes the authentic signals we use in speech, like stumbles and slang, which build human connection.The influence of “correct” AI-generated English is crowding out regional dialects, affecting who sounds credible in public discourse.“Delve is only the tip of the iceberg,” says Max Planck reseaJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Hatem Dhiab says he "doesn't want to rain on anyone's parade" but following Tesla's (TSLA) Robotaxi event in Austin he's left looking for more data. Hatem points to the geofenced restrictions on its vehicles and the presence of human monitors as potential question marks, and compares the physical structure of Tesla's cars to that of Waymo's. Later, Hatem weighs in on another EV maker: Rivian (RIVN).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Tesla's (TSLA) got some catching up to do, says Steve Westly. He thinks the Robotaxi event was well received, pointing to the share price reaction. But, now Steve's wondering how long Tesla will take to have paying customers, launch in new cities, and go through regulatory hurdles that companies like Waymo have already been through. He also points to Chinese EV makers as a possible threat to sales growth. Ultimately, he thinks TSLA may have a flat to down auto sales year as investors shift the focus to its tech offerings rather than its cars. He names BYD (BYDDY), Pony AI (PONY) and WeRide as international autonomous driving companies to keep on the radar.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Waymo's return to the Big Apple, a revealing new Waymo rider survey, political grandstanding in Texas aimed at delaying Tesla's robotaxi launch, and the emergence of potential new players in autonomous driving sector, Meta and OpenAI.Waymo announced plans to resume testing in New York City this summer, the first time operating in the city since 2021. While the move signals growing confidence in their technology, regulatory hurdles remain, as current New York state law prohibits fully driverless operations until at least 2026 when a new law could come into effect.While Waymo is actively focusing on scaling operations and expanding into New York, a recent rider survey offers rare insight into the company's future ambitions. Questions about luxury positioning, loyalty rewards, ride reservations, and premium services suggesting that Waymo is exploring a strategy that moves beyond their tenuous limited partnership Uber, and towards a fully integrated premium mobility platform.Meanwhile, a group of Democratic lawmakers in Texas sent a letter to Tesla urging the company to delay its planned driver-out robotaxi launch until new State autonomous vehicles laws take effect in September. Based on social media reports, Tesla is not waiting and they will be launching Robotaxi in the coming days.Then there is the growing ambitions of both Meta and OpenAI. Will they be the next companies to potentially enter the autonomous driving sector?Episode Chapters0:00 Waymo Eyes NYC Expansion3:05 Waymo Loves New York as They Leave Uber Behind4:15 Waymo's Regulatory Path Forward in New York7:47 Waymo's LA & Bay Area Expansions9:06 Waymo Fleet Size10:54 What is Behind Waymo's Lack of Highway Service?13:03 Is Waymo Getting Closer to Unlocking SFO?14:23 Waymo Rider Survey34:35 Texas State Representatives Tesla Letter38:53 Zoox40:13 Kodiak/Roush Partnership44:11 Does Meta and OpenAI Have Autonomous Driving Ambitions?48:51 Applied Intuition50:39 Next WeekRecorded on Thursday, June 19, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.
