Monday on The A-Team, Adam Wexler reacts to ESPN's latest rankings, in which NFL executives, coaches and scouts voted on the league's top quarterbacks entering the 2026 season.Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud landed in the "also receiving votes" category, finishing behind the honorable mentions—including Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence.Wexler argues that's exactly where Stroud belongs at this stage of his career, even if it means ranking behind quarterbacks like Broncos signal-caller Bo Nix and Colts quarterback Daniel Jones. Be sure to listen to the full audio as Wex explains why he believes ESPN's evaluation of Stroud is a fair reflection of where the Texans quarterback currently stacks up among the NFL's best.

Canadian political strategist, attorney and best-selling author Warren Kinsella described a highly organized, well-funded international effort to spread antisemitic propaganda and delegitimize Israel in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre, during a recent interview with Alan Skorski. Kinsella, whose new book “The Hidden Hand: The Information War And The Rise Of Antisemitic Propaganda” is a national best-seller, pointed to the rapid emergence of 2,500 protests worldwide — even as Israel was still identifying its dead, injured and kidnapped — as evidence that the demonstrations were not organic expressions of outrage but part of a premeditated campaign. “The sameness in the protests with the same slogans and messages, even if in different languages, the professional signs, and their acting in a way that was almost with military precision,” Kinsella said. He cited toolkits distributed by groups like Students for Justice in Palestine that instructed participants on whom to call if arrested and assured them that legal expenses would be covered. “It was the organization, money, and coherence that you just don't see in an organic spontaneous response to an event. It was clear that this was a ‘campaign,'” he added. Kinsella traced elements of the strategy back decades, referencing a 1993 meeting between American Jewish activist Gary Wexler and Israeli-Arab NGO leader Ameer Makhoul around the time of the Oslo Accords. According to Kinsella, Makhoul told Wexler that Palestinians would mirror and surpass Zionist campus activism, summer programs in refugee camps, global organizations and PR efforts — ultimately securing more media coverage. “They watched Jewish activism for decades, including programs like Birthright, and created their own infrastructure to dominate an information war against Israel,” Kinsella said. The author emphasized that young people have been prime targets of Hamas and its allies in Iran, Russia and Qatar. He cited a Harris poll showing that 70% of young Americans were more sympathetic to Hamas than to Israel following the Oct. 7 atrocities. Kinsella highlighted Hamas's “binary communication strategy,” noting the terror group's ability to livestream its horrors for recruitment among Arab and Muslim audiences while simultaneously denying responsibility for the massacre and blaming Israel to Western audiences. On the political front, Kinsella wrote that activists understand city councils do not set foreign policy but serve as “pillars and building blocks” that can influence higher offices and ultimately shape federal policy. He rejected claims that criticism of Israel is merely about policy, stating the campaign is rooted in antisemitism. Kinsella also debunked the blood libel accusing Israel of “genocide” in Gaza, describing Hamas as experts at provoking Israeli responses that produce civilian casualties for propaganda purposes. A prime example of media bias cited in the book occurred during President Joe Biden's visit to Israel in solidarity after Oct. 7. A rocket struck a Gaza hospital that day, prompting immediate headlines from The New York Times and other outlets accusing Israel of bombing the facility and killing hundreds. The story was later corrected — the hospital was barely damaged, casualties were minimal, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad was responsible — but the damage had already been done globally. Kinsella recently visited Israel for the premiere of his upcoming documentary “The Campaign,” based on the book, which examines the effort to delegitimize Israel, threaten Jewish communities worldwide and undermine Western democracy. “First they come for the Saturday people, then they come for the Sunday people,” Kinsella warned. -VIN News Watch the Interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FARX18QRslI&t=14s Watch the Trailer for Waren Kinsella's upcoming documentary, The Campaign: https://www.campaigndoc.com/ Alan Skorski Reports 24JUNE2026 - PODCAST

ZEEV'S TIP: "Sales and marketing are a circle. The problem most companies have is that sales and marketing are treated as two separate parts that do not work for one another and do not collaborate. AI can help fix that." TOM'S TIP: "This is the peace treaty of all time. Both objectives, marketing and sales, can be served, and everybody can get what they want. Instead of arguing about leads, both teams can align around understanding what prospects need to fix, accomplish, or avoid."

Today we're joined by Greg Mostyn, CEO and co-founder of Wexler. Wexler is a fact intelligence platform built for litigation teams. Wexler extracts events, timelines, and contradictions from large evidence sets and links everything back to its source, helping litigators build a clear factual picture from what could be hundreds of thousands of documents. In this episode, we get into what it really takes to bring new tools into major law firms, how litigators are actually using AI to change the way they build cases, and the elephant in the room—what would actually happen to the billable hour?

SHOW NOTES In this episode, David and I discussed: How EOC Audio grew 400% in six years by prioritizing "buying right," leveraging the power of buying groups, and hiring talent in advance of growth. Why long-term success comes from "saying yes" to clients and builders alike, and how David used 12 years of live radio hosting to build a legendary reputation in his market. And A look at the rising demand for sophisticated lighting design, motorized window treatments, and the high-growth world of professional golf and shooting simulators. David brings over five decades of wisdom and a deep passion for the "human" side of the technology business. Whether you're looking to scale your own integration firm or simply want to hear from a true industry legend, you're going to love this conversation. So settle in and enjoy my conversation with David Wexler. Let's get started!

The more you use it, the more it learns." TOM'S TIP: "Do not prioritize pursuing the companies or potential clients you most want. Pursue first the target-rich pool of those who appear to most want you. It is a lot easier to chase the ones that most want us."

ZEEV'S TIP: "AI is not only a virtual coach. It is baked into the process. When you make something easier and better for a salesperson, adoption happens." TOM'S TIP: "For at least the past 70 years, companies have struggled to adopt best practices and move from exposure or training to habit and mastery. Now, with AI, you can create what is essentially a full-time, never-sleeping, always-ready, always-helping coach."

It was a pleasure to host a discussion with Ronnie Wexler, Global Head of Equities Distribution at Barclays, and solicit his insights on change – in markets, in client relationships and in the growing role of technology across the financial ecosystem. We begin with Ronnie's early years at Goldman Sachs during the final stages of the technology bubble and the sharp market reversal that followed. He reflects on how periods of market stress, from the post-dot-com bear market to the GFC, have shaped his perspective on risk and the importance of being adaptable in markets that are constantly moving. The conversation then turns to the changing structure of institutional investing. Ronnie discusses the growth of hedge funds in pursuit of industrial-scale alpha generation, highlighting how client needs have become increasingly cross-asset, and solutions-oriented. He explains how a sell-side equities business today functions as an integrated ecosystem that spans prime brokerage, derivatives, electronic trading, and financing. A major theme throughout the discussion is the accelerating pace of technological change. Ronnie describes recent experiences using AI development tools and outlines how firms are integrating them into workflows ranging from onboarding and automation to research distribution and client analytics. We also explore the rise of bespoke and OTC solutions, including quantitative investment strategies, custom baskets, and exotic option structures. Here Ronnie emphasizes that these products reflect broader changes in market structure, positioning, and risk transfer across institutional portfolios. The conversation concludes with thoughts on recruiting, apprenticeship culture, and the need for firms to balance human judgment with increasingly sophisticated technological infrastructure.

ZEEV'S TIP: "The goal of AI is not to send one hundred times more emails that failed before. The goal is to send the same number of emails and make them ten times more effective." TOM'S TIP: "Before something enters the top of my funnel, it should have at least the initial evidence needed to qualify it. The standard should not be that someone answered the phone for the BDR, agreed to see a demo, and then did not show up."

The gang welcomes back Rachel Wexler, a leadership development partner who helps leaders and teams get unstuck and build new ways of operating aligned to their goals. Wexler discusses executive presence as showing up with confidence and conviction by knowing strengths and development areas, clarifying the gap between identity and reputation, defining a bigger “why,” and understanding needs and boundaries. She describes working with both women and men, including executives with egos, and using data-driven tools like the Hogan Assessment to ground “soft” topics in statistically reliable insights about how people are perceived. Wexler shares her career pivot from education product development and workforce development work at Penn Foster (2015–2023), deciding to leave as she approached 50 to avoid regret, and learning resilience and iteration through social media. She outlines her business focus on coaching/consulting and sharing ideas about humanity, authenticity, trust, and high-performance teams.

The guest is Tara's longtime friend Rachel Wexler, who recently launched her own business after 20 years leading product and strategy teams. Rachel describes her evolving role as a “leadership development partner,” working with leaders and teams through coaching, leadership programs, small-group work, and team offsites to help organizations use internal talent well, build trust, and create environments where people can be authentic. She explains using tools like 360 feedback—speaking with peers, direct reports, senior leaders, and sometimes people in a client's personal life—to identify key themes and “name what's really going on” beneath the surface. Rachel shares an offsite example that began with a personal question to humanize teammates and shift focus from deadlines to connection. She says her favorite part is helping people, especially women, see their strength and value.

Brett Barry visits Anna Plattner and Justin Wexler at their 95-acre forest farm in Cairo, New York, home base of Wild Hudson Valley — an educational organization dedicated to inspiring learning and building connection through shared experiences in nature, history, and wild foods.Justin and Anna trace the origins of Wild Hudson Valley back to 2013, when Justin, freshly burned out from a master's in teaching at Bard College, found his way back to the woods and a fledgling idea for an environmental education business. A serendipitous encounter at a master naturalist training program brought Anna into the picture, and the two have been growing Wild Hudson Valley together — personally and professionally — ever since. In 2021, they took the leap to pursue it full-time, greatly expanding their offerings to include eco camping, foraging workshops, and the Wild Harvest Box, a monthly subscription of wild-harvested ingredients for adventurous home cooks.The conversation covers a rich range of topics: the history and cultivation of American ginseng (the plant that first brought them together), the ecology of forest farming and why it requires so much more than just planting things and walking away, the role of invasive species and deer in disrupting native plant communities, and the concept of ecoliteracy — the ability to truly read a landscape. We also draw some fascinating connections between the work of 18th-century botanist John Bartram and what Wild Hudson Valley does today, from "boxes" of natural specimens to a deep respect for indigenous plant knowledge.Brett, Justin, and Anna also dig into some of the surprising edibles hiding in plain sight — stinging nettles more nutritious than spinach, common milkweed with more uses than most people imagine, and sumac cones their kids lick like lollipops. And they share the quiet but meaningful work of hosting Lenape and Mohican people on ancestral homeland visits to the Catskills and Hudson Valley — a practice rooted in gratitude and reciprocity. For information about Wild Hudson Valley's eco camp, foraging workshops, the Wild Harvest Box, and property consultations, visit wildhudsonvalley.com.And to hear a fun podcast about the life of John Bartram, check out Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley, episode 115: John Bartram. Kaatscast is a production of Silver Hollow Audio.

This week on The Geek in Review, we talk with Gregory Mostyn, CEO of Wexler.ai, about how his company is building a sharper form of legal AI for litigation. In a market crowded with broad platforms that aim to handle every legal task at once, Mostyn describes Wexler as a focused system built for one of the hardest problems in disputes, understanding the facts. He shares how the idea grew from watching his father, a judge, carry home stacks of ring binders and spend late nights reviewing case materials by hand. That early picture of legal work, heavy with paper and pressure, became the spark for a company aimed at helping lawyers work through massive records with more depth, speed, and precision.A central idea in the conversation is Wexler's view that the most useful unit of analysis in litigation is not the document, but the fact. Mostyn explains that lawyers are often handed a mountain of emails, messages, filings, and exhibits, yet what they need is a clear understanding of what happened, why it matters, and where the pressure points sit. Wexler is designed to pull out events, inconsistencies, and supporting details from that record so litigators are working from a factual map rather than a pile of files. That shift matters because disputes are rarely neat. Important evidence may be tucked inside an offhand message, a late footnote, or an exchange written in vague, coded language. Wexler's aim is to turn that mess into something a trial team can use to shape strategy.Mostyn also walks through the mechanics that separate Wexler from more general legal AI products. He describes a detailed fact extraction pipeline that processes unstructured material and turns it into structured data before the system reasons over it. That design helps Wexler deal with the disorder of litigation, where timelines blur, people contradict each other, and key details are easy to miss. He also points to the scale of the platform, noting that it handles large document sets and supports work such as deposition preparation, trial preparation, summary judgment briefing, and early case assessment. One of the more striking features is real-time fact checking during depositions, where the platform helps lawyers spot contradictions in testimony as the questioning unfolds. The effect is less like using a search box and more like working with a tireless junior team member who has read the whole file.Trust, accuracy, and restraint are another major part of the discussion. Mostyn is careful not to oversell what AI can do. He openly states that no system is perfect, yet he argues that Wexler reduces risk by staying inside the record given to it. It does not search the internet, does not drift into outside material, and ties its outputs back to specific text in the source documents. That discipline is important in litigation, where a made-up citation or invented fact is more than embarrassing, it is dangerous. Mostyn presents Wexler as a tool that helps lawyers verify, question, and sharpen their understanding of the case. The result is less time spent slogging through repetitive review and more time spent thinking about how to use the facts in a meaningful way. Mostyn believes that as AI takes on more of the burden of document review and fact development, the value of human lawyering rises in other areas. Strategy, advocacy, witness preparation, courtroom performance, and judgment all become more important when the groundwork is assembled faster and more thoroughly.
