Federal agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection shot two people in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday. ABC News has the latest. Meanwhile, Minnesota officials say they were shut out of the investigation into the killing of a woman by ICE. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller usually sticks to domestic policy issues. In this week’s Apple News In Conversation, Jonathan Blitzer of the New Yorker discusses why Miller is wading into Trump’s plans in Venezuela. In the aftermath of the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO, corporations have changed how they think about security. The Wall Street Journal’s Chip Cutter joins to discuss what companies are doing to better protect executives. Plus, lawmakers passed an extension of ACA subsidies, NASA says astronauts are coming home from the ISS early, and the NFL playoffs kick off with some fresh faces at quarterback. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

SHOW1-8-2026THE SHOW BEGINS IN DOUBTS ABOUT THE SARCASTIC INVENTION, THE DON-ROE DICTRINE..SPHERES OF INFLUENCE AND THE RETURN OF THE MONROE DOCTRINE Colleague Anatol Lieven, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Anatol Lieven argues that "spheres of influence" have returned, with the US reasserting the Monroe Doctrine in the Western Hemisphere and threatening to seize Greenland. Unlike traditional alliances, this approach risks alienating fellow democracies. Lieven contrasts this with Russia's territorial ambitions in the former Soviet Union and China's historic regional goals. NUMBER 1COLD WAR TACTICS: THE SEIZURE OF A RUSSIAN TANKER Colleague Anatol Lieven, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Lieven discusses the US Navy's detention of a Russian-flagged ship in the North Atlantic, viewing it as a dangerous escalation akin to piracy. This move humiliates Moscow and aims to control oil supplies. Lieven warns that if European nations mimic these seizures, Russia may retaliate violently, risking a direct war. NUMBER 2THE SUPREME COURT AND THE MYTH OF THE UNITARY EXECUTIVE Colleague Richard Epstein, Civitas Institute. Richard Epstein challenges the view that the Roberts Court blindly supports a "unitary executive." He argues the Court is correctly questioning the constitutionality of independent administrative agencies, like the FTC, which insulate officials from presidential removal. Epstein contends that relying on case counts ignores the specific legal merits regarding separation of powers. NUMBER 3TRUMP V. ILLINOIS: LIMITING PRESIDENTIAL POWER OVER THE NATIONAL GUARD Colleague Richard Epstein, Civitas Institute. Discussing a recent unsigned Supreme Court order, Epstein notes the Court upheld a decision preventing the President from deploying the National Guard without a governor's consent. This ruling contradicts claims of judicial bias toward the executive, affirming that the President cannot simply declare an emergency to override state sovereignty. NUMBER 4ONE YEAR LATER: ANGER AND STAGNATION AFTER THE PALISADES FIRE Colleague Jeff Bliss, Pacific Watch. A year after the Palisades fires, Jeff Bliss reports that residents remain angry over government inaction. Rebuilding is stalled by the Coastal Commission's strict regulations, and fuel loads in canyons remain high due to environmental restrictions on brush clearing. The fires, driven by Santa Ana winds, highlight systemic bureaucratic failures in Los Angeles. NUMBER 5#SCALAREPORT: AI AND ROBOTICS DOMINATE CES Colleague Chris Riegel, CEO of Scala.com. Reporting from CES, Chris Riegel highlights the dominance of AI and robotics, from household droids to military applications. While the tech sector booms with massive infrastructure spending, Riegel warns of a "K-shaped" economy where Main Street struggles with softening demand, masking the wealth concentrated in artificial intelligence and data centers. NUMBER 6LANCASTER COUNTY: AMISH SPENDING AND DATA CENTER GROWTH Colleague Jim McTague, Author and Former Barron's Editor. Jim McTague reports that the Lancaster County economy remains robust, evidenced by heavy Amish spending at Costco and thriving local businesses like Kegel's Produce. Despite some local protests, data centers are being built on old industrial sites. McTague sees no need for Fed rate cuts given the stable local economy. NUMBER 7THE NUCLEAR ESCROW: MANAGING PROLIFERATION AMONG ALLIES Colleague Henry Sokolski, Nonproliferation Policy Education Center. Henry Sokolski warns that allies like Poland, Turkey, and South Africaare considering nuclear weapons due to eroding trust in US guarantees. He proposes a "nuclear escrow" account: storing refurbished warheads in the US for allies to deploy only during crises, providing leverage without permanently stationing targets on foreign soil. NUMBER 8THE SIEGE OF 717 AND THE VOLCANO OF THERA Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. In 717 AD, Arab forces besieged Constantinople but failed due to the city's massive walls and "Greek fire." Professor Watts explains that a subsequent volcanic eruption in Thera was interpreted as divine punishment for the empire's sins, leading to a spiritual crisis and the rise of iconoclasm to appease God. NUMBER 9THE STUPIDITY OF SUCCESSORS: MANUEL AND ANDRONICUS Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. Manuel Komnenos favored grand gestures over systemic stability, weakening the Roman state. His successor, Andronicus, was a nihilistic sadist whose tyranny and family infighting destabilized the empire. Watts details how the refusal to punish rebellious family members created a culture of impunity that eventually led to a violent overthrow. NUMBER 10THE CRUSADES: FROM COOPERATION TO CONFLICT Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. Relations between East and West collapsed during the Crusades. While the First Crusade cooperated with Rome, the Second and Third turned hostile, with Crusaders seizing territory rather than returning it. Watts notes that the theological schism of 1054 and cultural distrust entrenched this division, setting the stage for future betrayal. NUMBER 111204: THE SACK OF CONSTANTINOPLE AND THE END OF CONTINUITY Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. The Fourth Crusade, diverted by Venetian debt, sacked Constantinople in 1204, burning the city to quell resistance. Watts argues this marked the true end of the ancient Roman state. The meritocratic system collapsed, and elites like Nicetas Choniates lost everything, severing the 2,000-year political continuity of the empire. NUMBER 12VENEZUELA: THE REGIME SURVIVES MADURO'S EXIT Colleague Mary Anastasia O'Grady, Wall Street Journal. Despite Maduro's removal, the Venezuelan regime remains intact under hardliners Delcy Rodriguez and Diosdado Cabello. Mary Anastasia O'Grady notes that repression continues, and European oil companies are hesitant to invest. The regime feigns cooperation to avoid US intervention, but genuine recovery is impossible without restoring the rule of law. NUMBER 13RUSSIA'S OIL CRISIS AND REGIONAL DEFICITS Colleague Michael Bernstam, Hoover Institution. Russiafaces a financial crisis as oil prices drop below $60 per barrel. Michael Bernstam explains that increased global supply forces Russia to sell at deep discounts to China and India, often below cost. This revenue loss prevents the Kremlinfrom paying soldiers, sparking severe regional budget deficits. NUMBER 14EUROPEAN FREEZE AND THE MYTH OF BOOTS ON THE GROUND Colleague Simon Constable, Journalist and Author. A deep freeze hits Southern Europe while commodity prices like copper rise. Simon Constable reports on the UK's bleak economic mood and dismisses the feasibility of British or French "boots on the ground" in Ukraine. He notes that depleted military manpower makes such guarantees declarative rather than substantial. NUMBER 15ARTEMIS 2 RISKS AND THE SEARCH FOR LIFE IN SPACE Colleague Bob Zimmerman, BehindtheBlack.com. Bob Zimmerman urges NASA to fly Artemis 2 unmanned due to unresolved Orion heat shield damage, arguing safety should trump beating China. He also dismisses concerns about lunar methane contamination and highlights a new study suggesting ice caps could allow liquid water lakes to exist on Mars. NUMBER 16

In today's episode, I sit down with Gary Stokan, president and CEO of Peach Bowl, Inc., to talk about leadership, longevity, and building something that lasts in big time sports. We cover his 47 years across coaching, brand marketing, and bowl season growth, including the frameworks he used to scale the Chick fil A Peach Bowl into a New Year's Six mainstay. Gary breaks down relationship capital, smart risk taking, and why he put his job on the line for people he trusted. We also talk repurposing after retirement, storytelling as a teaching tool, and how staying kind compounds over time in business and life.

The content gods have blessed this Friday episode with a piece of news that Andy has called "maybe my favorite thing that's ever happened on the PGA Tour." Vijay Singh, a 62-year-old who did not finish in the Top 20 of the Schwab Cup standings on last year's Champions Tour, has decided to use his career money list exemption for full status for 2026 on the PGA Tour! Brendan and Andy do a bit of a deep dive into Vijay's recent PGA Tour results and Andy applauds him for using this exemption despite calls for scarcity and cuts from the top of the new Tour food chain. Andy even goes as far as to say that he will still be in high spirits if the Bears lose on Saturday because he knows Vijay will tee it up at the Sony next week! In other PGA Tour field news, Scottie Scheffler has committed to the AmEx and WM Phoenix Open, marking the first starts of his 2026 season. With no Sentry, the AmEx has a much better field than in recent years, but Scottie will still likely be three-to-one or less to win the event. Brendan then segues to the biggest news of this week: Derek Sprague's departure from the PGA of America. Sprague stepped down as CEO, leaving an opening in the PGA of America's leadership that could really only be filled by one man. Is this Don's path to permanent relevancy? We'll have to just wait and see. There is also a VERY important Nico Minute in this episode, as a new sponsor has stepped up for a podcast favorite this year. The back half of this episode contains the yearly Over-Under segment, with Brendan, Andy, and PJ making predictions for the rest of the year. Will the major scoring record be broken? How many wins for Rory and Scottie? Can Cameron Young finish in the OWGR Top 10? Will the Bears beat the Packers twice in this calendar year? Listen to find out! Join us in Chicagoland for an SGS Live Show on Thursday, February 12! We'll be hanging out at SPACE in Evanston, Illinois for a night of Q&A, Champs Tour Minute, and plenty of Bears chatter.

 This episode dives into the heated clashes over immigration enforcement and media narratives in the wake of the fatal January 7, 2026, ICE shooting in Minneapolis, where a 37 year old mother of three, Renee Nicole Good, was killed by an agent during an operation. Federal officials claim the shooting was justified self-defense after she allegedly drove toward officers, while Minnesota leaders including Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey dispute the account, demand accountability, and criticize the broader crackdown. The incident sparked immediate protests in Minneapolis (with clashes involving snowballs and police pullbacks), vigils, and solidarity demonstrations in cities like New York City, where the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) organized marches demanding an end to ICE operations—highlighting claims of orchestrated chaos by the left.Dan Bongino fires back at the "Black Pill crowd" in a fiery segment, refusing to let pessimists, grifters, and division-stokers hijack the movement he helped build. The show also connects these tensions to broader media bias, spotlighting how legacy outlets may downplay or frame stories like the ongoing Minnesota welfare/child-care fraud scandal (with federal charges against dozens, convictions mounting, and estimates reaching potentially billions in misused funds.Join guests Judd Saul, founder of Equipping the Persecuted and Truth Nigeria, for an in-depth look at the escalating persecution of Christians in Nigeria including recent coordinated attacks killing dozens in early 2026 and calls for stronger U.S. and international intervention. Then, Sam Anthony, founder and CEO of YourNews.com, discusses building a decentralized, citizen powered media platform to counter censorship and bias, with real time insights into covering fast-moving crises like Minnesota's ICE fallout and fraud investigations. Tune in for unfiltered truth, advocacy, and the fight against division!

On today's episode, Kara welcomes Tyler Smith, Founder and CEO of Hundred — the innovative health platform turning personalized data into real, measurable transformation.Tyler's story is as compelling as it is inspiring. After discovering that his biological age was eight years older than his chronological age, he made a life-altering decision: invest in the world's top physicians, build a private longevity lab, and completely reengineer his health. The result? He reversed his biological age by an astounding 15 years — and uncovered just how broken and inaccessible personalized health optimization has been for everyday people.That breakthrough became the foundation for Hundred, a fully integrated health platform that merges blood work, wearables, medical history, AI, and guidance from top clinicians into a clear, evidence-based 100-day action plan. Before launching Hundred, Tyler built and sold SkySlope for a reported $80M, and he now brings that same focus, rigor, and obsession with outcomes to transforming how we approach our health.In this episode, Tyler shares what drove him to build Hundred, the gaps he saw in traditional and DTC testing models, and why knowing your data is only half the battle — the real power lies in turning insight into action. He opens up about his own transformation, the science behind the platform, and what it takes to build a company at the intersection of longevity, technology, and human performance.A must-listen for anyone passionate about proactive health, entrepreneurship, or building a life with intention. Are you interested in sponsoring and advertising on The Kara Goldin Show, which is now in the Top 1% of Entrepreneur podcasts in the world?

Chris Cuomo breaks down the competing reactions to what just happened in Venezuela and why that “pick a side” framing misses the real issue. He lays out why the operation went forward, what it cost, why the aftermath is more complicated than “bad guy out, good guys in,” and the biggest unanswered questions about what the Trump administration is doing now and what comes next. Then, Rick de la Torre (founder and CEO, Tower Strategy, and former CIA Caracas Station Chief) joins Chris to explain what the post-operation reality looks like on the ground, why stability often means dealing with whoever is actually inside the country, and how a reported CIA assessment fits into the decision to leave parts of the existing power structure in place—plus what that implies for the next phase in Venezuela.

Reporting from CES, Chris Riegel highlights the dominance of AI and robotics, from household droids to military applications. While the tech sector booms with massive infrastructure spending, Riegel warns of a "K-shaped" economy where Main Street struggles with softening demand, masking the wealth concentrated in artificial intelligence and data centers.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan explains why Minnesota's governor is openly escalating toward a constitutional crisis, how a deadly ICE confrontation is being weaponized politically, and why Democrats may be preparing nationwide unrest to distract from a massive fraud reckoning. He then covers major White House moves on housing, defense contractors, Venezuela, China, Russia, and Greenland, showing how Trump's strategy is reshaping global power. Tim Walz Declares a De Facto War on the Federal Government: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced that his state is "in a state of war" with the federal government after an ICE officer shot and killed protester Renee Good during an immigration raid in Minneapolis. Video shows Good used her vehicle as a weapon against the officer, who fired in self-defense after being struck. Walz ordered the National Guard to prepare for deployment and called on activists nationwide to rise up, prompting warnings that his rhetoric may meet the legal definition of insurrection. A Manufactured Crisis and the Somali Fraud Reckoning: Bryan explains why the timing of Walz's escalation matters. Attorney General Pam Bondi just surged federal investigators into Minnesota to probe billion-dollar Somali fraud rings tied to Medicaid, daycare centers, and migrant nonprofits, many of which donated to Democratic campaigns. Federal funds to Minnesota and other blue states have been frozen or cut, and the White House is preparing a nationwide fraud announcement. Bryan warns that the death of an activist is being exploited to distract from what could become one of the largest corruption scandals in U.S. history. White House Targets Defense Contractors and Housing Costs: President Trump issued an executive order blocking major defense contractors from paying dividends or buying back stock until weapons production accelerates. CEO compensation is capped at five million dollars annually. Trump also moved to ban large institutional investors from buying additional single-family homes, arguing corporate buyers are pricing Americans out of the housing market. Senate Republicans are already drafting legislation to codify the policy. Trump Confronts Socialist Housing Policy in New York City: The Justice Department is reviewing whether New York City's new socialist mayor and his housing director violated anti-discrimination laws. The housing director has publicly called homeownership a tool of white supremacy and advocated seizing private property, with the mayor openly endorsing her views. DOJ officials say racial targeting in housing policy is unlawful and will be challenged. Global Shockwaves from Venezuela and the Ghost Fleet: Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed a three-phase U.S. plan for Venezuela, beginning with stability under remnants of the Maduro regime, followed by economic recovery and eventual democratic transition. The United States will act as Venezuela's sole oil dealer while seizing ghost-fleet tankers moving Iranian and Russian oil. Trump authorized U.S. forces to seize ships even after they reflagged as Russian, directly squeezing Moscow's war finances and Beijing's energy supply. Greenland and Europe's Energy Reality Check: Denmark warned it would use lethal force if U.S. troops attempt to seize Greenland, even as Chinese submarines map Arctic waters near U.S. defenses. Bryan contrasts Europe's military posturing with its fragile energy reality, as winter cold, snow-covered solar panels, and weak wind output drive electricity shortages and price spikes across Germany and Northern Europe "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: January 8 2026 Wright Report, Tim Walz ICE shooting Minneapolis, Renee Good protest death, Minnesota National Guard insurrection rhetoric, Somali fraud Medicaid daycare nonprofits, Pam Bondi investigation surge, defense contractor dividend ban Trump, institutional investors single family homes, Zohran Mamdani housing discrimination DOJ, Venezuela stability first strategy Rubio, ghost fleet tanker seizures Russia Iran, Greenland Denmark threat U.S. troops, China Arctic submarine mapping, Europe winter energy crisis

Most entrepreneurs believe that if they just work harder, push longer, and sacrifice more, success will finally bring peace, happiness, and fulfillment. But what if tying your happiness to your business success is the very thing preventing your business from growing? In today's episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly breaks down the 3 B's that quietly derail entrepreneurs who emotionally attach their worth and happiness to business performance, and why learning to separate the two is essential for long term growth, health, and leadership. Drawing from over a decade of building multiple companies and leading through every season of business, Kelly explains why businesses naturally experience cycles of winter, spring, summer, and fall, and how your ability to remain mentally and emotionally steady determines whether you scale or stall. This episode is a powerful reminder that your worth is not measured by revenue, and that becoming a resilient, four-season CEO is the key to building a sustainable business and a meaningful life. In this episode, you'll learn: Why businesses naturally fluctuate (and why that's completely normal) Why being happy outside of business makes you a stronger CEO How to build the mental and emotional strength required to lead through every season TIMESTAMPS: 03:01 – 04:45 — The reality of business seasons (winter, spring, summer, fall) 04:46 – 06:30 — Why tying happiness to performance keeps you unhappy most of the time 06:31 – 08:10 — How stress, panic, and overwhelm shut down decision-making 08:11 – 09:40 — The first B: Burnout (and why it really ends businesses) 09:41 – 11:10 — The second B: Bad decisions driven by fear and scarcity 11:11 – 12:40 — The third B: Bigger life problems that spill into health and relationships 12:41 – 14:00 — Becoming a four-season CEO and separating worth from results RESOURCES For more faith leadership content, subscribe to Kelly's Substack: https://kellyroachofficial.substack.com/  Called to Lead: The Premier Women's Leadership Event happening in South Florida on October 1st, 2026: https://www.sandiglandt.com/called-to-lead  Subscribe to Kelly's weekly newsletter for tips and strategies delivered straight to your inbox: https://kellyroachinternational.kit.com/news  Follow Kelly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellyroachofficial/  Follow Kelly on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kelly.roach.520/  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellyroachint/

Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. It's a new year, and that means the crew is back with their annual year-end awards and predictions episode. First up: the 2025 winners and losers. From Trump's meme-coin windfall to Gary Gensler's legacy getting torched, from prediction markets going mainstream to Web3 getting its official eulogy — no one is safe. The team debates the biggest surprises (Circle's shocking IPO run, Ethereum's pivot under new leadership, Zcash's unlikely comeback), the best new mechanisms (ICO 2.0, DATs, federal preemption), and the year's best memes (including the Chopping Block's own tariff factory video). Then comes the flops and comebacks: AI agents that overpromised, Berachain's fall from grace, and Tether somehow winning again. Finally, the crew reviews how badly their 2025 predictions aged — spoiler: not great — and lays out fresh calls for 2026 including AI-powered hacks, stable-coin-funded AI capex, and equity perps taking over DeFi. New year, fresh takes, brutal honesty — let's get into it. Show highlights

As the co-founder and CEO of Circle — the fintech powerhouse that issues USDC, a popular cryptocurrency pegged to the US dollar — Jeremy Allaire has had a front-row seat to the crypto revolution. Circle now commands a market cap of over $20 billion, yet Jeremy insists it is still an "early stage company." Why? Because the true transformation of the global economy, he says, is just beginning. "In this episode, Jeremy and Rufus discuss how the economic system is becoming “internet native," what happens when money becomes programmable, and why blockchain is the "major missing layer" of the internet.

What happens when the thing you worked so hard to build no longer feels like the life you want to be living? In this episode of SUPERWOMEN, Rebecca sits down with Ara Katz, co-founder of Seed, to talk about ambition, loss, and the moments that quietly redirect your life. Ara shares how stepping away from a high-growth tech company and reconnecting with her passion for science led her to build Seed, a microbiome company grounded in clinical rigor rather than wellness hype. We also explore leadership and identity, including Ara's unconventional management style and her decision to transition from CEO to Chairperson as an intentional evolution, not a failure.

In this episode, I sit down with Shawn Nelson, founder and CEO of LoveSac, to share the real behind the scenes story of how LoveSac nearly failed and ultimately survived. Shawn walks through the moment quitting felt reasonable, the million dollar order that forced him to bet everything, and the grit required to build a business with no factory, no money, and no margin for error. We also dive into leadership lessons around ego, scaling through humility, staying present, and the daily practices that ground him as a founder and human. Key takeaways: Pressure can sharpen focus or break you depending on how you respond Bold action often comes before certainty Ego may start a business but humility scales it Hiring great people only works if you let them own their role Presence is built through daily habits, not personality Staying close to customers renews belief and clarity This episode is for founders, entrepreneurs, and leaders who are pushing through uncertainty, scaling a team, or questioning their next move. You will walk away with practical leadership insights, mindset shifts, and reminders that staying present, letting go of control, and committing to small daily habits can turn near failure into lasting success.

Today, we're joined by Nikita Rudin, co-founder and CEO of Flexion Robotics to discuss the gap between current robotic capabilities and what's required to deploy fully autonomous robots in the real world. Nikita explains how reinforcement learning and simulation have driven rapid progress in robot locomotion—and why locomotion is still far from “solved.” We dig into the sim2real gap, and how adding visual inputs introduces noise and significantly complicates sim-to-real transfer. We also explore the debate between end-to-end models and modular approaches, and why separating locomotion, planning, and semantics remains a pragmatic approach today. Nikita also introduces the concept of "real-to-sim", which uses real-world data to refine simulation parameters for higher fidelity training, discusses how reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and teleoperation data are combined to train robust policies for both quadruped and humanoid robots, and introduces Flexion's hierarchical approach that utilizes pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for high-level task orchestration with Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models and low-level whole-body trackers. Finally, Nikita shares the behind-the-scenes in humanoid robot demos, his take on reinforcement learning in simulation versus the real world, the nuances of reward tuning, and offers practical advice for researchers and practitioners looking to get started in robotics today.

Marketing is shifting — and many brands feel it, even if they can't yet name it. In this episode, Sonia Thompson speaks with Bennie F. Johnson, CEO of the American Marketing Association, about the AMA 2026 Marketing Trends shaping the future of modern marketing and growth marketing. They unpack how trust in marketing, AI in marketing, and audience fragmentation are rewriting the rules of growth — driving up customer acquisition costs, raising expectations for relevance, and reshaping how brands build credibility in identity-driven communities. Drawing on insights from the AMA's 2026 Future Trends in Marketing research, this conversation explores what's changing beneath the surface — from responsible artificial intelligence, inclusive leadership, and evolving workforce models to the implications for growth strategy in today's complex marketing environment.

I'm gonna do a little series here called "The Inches Are All Around Us," and in this series, at least to start, all of the inches I'm gonna mention are full-on administrative waste—waste that is particularly egregious because it has nothing to do with patient care. That's why when Shane Cerone said, "The inches are all around us" in episode 492 about hospitals and hospital prices, I really perked up. Because by fixing this friction, this administrative waste, we can actually improve patient care and reduce costs simultaneously. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Along these same lines, I have also heard Zack Cooper, PhD, talk about the 1% steps to healthcare reform project, where he's like, look, find 10 or 30 or whatever 1% problems, and you'll probably transform healthcare faster than if you're trying to find a 10% or 30% solution. So, same idea. And finding these inches, these 1 percents, even in and of themselves, it's big dollars when it comes to how much the U.S. spends on healthcare, which is, by the way, projected to reach $5.6 trillion in 2025, according to NHE (National Health Expenditure) projections from federal actuaries. So, I decided to go on a bit of a quest for these inches—you know, get a bead on where they may be nestled for anyone looking on behalf of their plan or their country or their state maybe. To this end, also recall or be aware of the episode with David Scheinker, PhD (EP363). But David Scheinker in that episode gets into how much every industry pays something like 2% to administer a transaction. But in healthcare, the provider pays something like 14%, and the payer pays another 14% to submit and get paid for a claim, which is healthcare for a transaction. Don't get me wrong, it's the plan sponsors such as self-insured employers, members, and USA taxpayers who are ultimately paying for those two 14 percents. So that 28% of full-on administrative costs—most of which, we could agree, could go away and probably be better for patients, not worse—this, too, is coming out of the pockets of the ultimate purchasers of healthcare. Those costs are getting passed along. I say all this to say, to kick off this "the inches are all around us" exploration, I wanted to dig in a little more specifically into what goes on during these aforementioned transactions (ie, what this life of a claim kind of, like, looks like on the ground). I wanted to start here because, yeah, we haven't done this before; and this exploration is gonna continue into next week because we're gonna dip heavy into clearinghouses with Zack Kanter and what they do all day. And then after that, I'm talking payment integrity programs. I'm talking prepayment review programs with Mark Noel, because you know what? Employers don't wanna be bringing a knife to a gunfight. And I realized in the course of these conversations that any self-insured plan sponsor that is not doing, for real, payment integrity programs, for real, prepayment review, post-payment review.  I'm getting ahead of myself, but when you listen to the show next week with Zack Kanter, you will so totally see what I mean. Today, as I mentioned earlier, I am speaking with Mark Newman, who is the CEO and founder of Nomi Health. Nomi aims to simplify the act of buying and paying for healthcare for self-insured employers. Look 'em up if that sounds intriguing. I also do need to thank Nomi Health for so generously offering to donate to RHV to cover the expenses of producing this episode. So, thank you so much to Nomi Health. Okay, lastly here, just to set the basic framework for this conversation that follows, Mark gets into two main revelations, reasons that kind of sit behind all a large part of the waste and friction in healthcare transactions. Again, otherwise known as a claim getting paid. And these two reasons are data isn't data isn't data. In other words, as a claim moves through the system to different stakeholders, the data starts to change and morph and come and go. Different people have different use cases for that data, so it starts to get added and subtracted, but nobody really has the universal level to tote up the difference in any organized fashion. So, we talk about that first. Then Mark Newman doubles down with another reason for the friction and waste. Here's the second revelation: A dollar isn't a dollar isn't a dollar. And same kind of rules apply here. A plan sponsor might spend a dollar and, yeah, is that dollar spent or is that dollar accrued to spend? Which is kind of wonky, but also relevant. And if you didn't understand that, we'll get to it. And then just because a dollar gets spent doesn't mean the provider gets that dollar. And by the way, I don't just mean, oh, there's spread pricing. How shocking. I mean that a plan sponsor could roll up to a hospital and say, "We spent $10 million last year," and the hospital could say, "No, you didn't. You only spent five." And spoiler alert, in this case, it's not about spread pricing, although it might be. It's also about how much was the member responsibility that the members didn't pay. So, a dollar is not a dollar for a whole bunch of different reasons. This podcast is sponsored by Aventria Health Group, and today, it's also sponsored by Nomi Health.

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we're starting the year with an audacious question: what if we reinvented one of the most basic materials in the world?Decarbonizing the built environment means tackling the stuff we use everywhere — wood, concrete, and steel — at the same time we're trying to build millions of new homes, strengthen supply chains, and reduce our exposure to geopolitical and climate risk. That's a tall order. But it's also unavoidable.My guest is Nathan Silvernail, co-founder and CEO of Plantd, a company building a tree-free, carbon-negative alternative to engineered wood. Designed as a drop-in replacement for OSB (oriented strand board), Plantd's material looks and behaves like conventional wood — but without cutting down trees. And they're not stopping at the material itself: Plantd is building the machines, manufacturing process, and agricultural supply chain needed to produce it at scale.We talk about:Why “sustainable wood” isn't always as sustainable as it soundsWhy trees can't scale fast enough to meet demand and climate goalsWhat it takes to replace a commodity material without asking builders to change how they buildThe co-benefits: turning waste into biochar and high-purity carbon for adjacent industrial marketsThe hard realities of scaling hardware, agriculture, and manufacturing at the same timeLINKS:Plantd: https://www.plantdmaterials.com/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show:https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/Visit our sponsor, Climatize, and get $50 in investment credits when you create a profile!
