US crypto regulation remains stuck in the mud, but institutional adoption isn’t waiting for permission. While high-stakes talks at the White House regarding stablecoin laws ended in a stalemate this week, BlackRock is pushing deeper into the industry by bringing its tokenized BUIDL fund directly to Uniswap. Bitcoin dipped below $67,000 as the news broke, reflecting market anxiety over the lack of legislative progress in Washington. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d…

Mid-size hospitality companies do not struggle to scale because they lack ambition. They struggle because their people systems are built for survival, not growth.This was echoed in three recent conversations I had with Saye Kokeh, Managing Director at Proper Hospitality, Corina De La Rosa, an on-property HR director, and Kelli Joseph, SVP of Human Resources at Stonebridge. Their insights point to the same theme: strategic HR leadership is what turns constant urgency into a culture that can actually scale. Why HR Teams Get Stuck in Reaction Mode (And How to Fix It)  “Across the hotel industry, HR teams are consistently…

The play­wright Tris­tan Bernard is said to have eat­en lunch at the Eif­fel Tow­er every day, but not because he liked the menu in its café: rather, because it was the only place in Paris with no view of the Eif­fel Tow­er. His view wasn’t whol­ly eccen­tric in the decades after its con­struc­tion, in the late eigh­teen-eight­ies, when the struc­ture had yet to become the most beloved in France, and per­haps in the world. Yet not far behind the Eif­fel Tow­er as a must-vis­it tourist attrac­tion in a town full of them is Paris’ least beloved build­ing: the Tour Mont­par­nasse,…

I should start by addressing the elephant in the room: Bart Layton is very clearly a fan of Michael Mann. Making a heist film set in Los Angeles post-Heat is as risky as trying your hand at demonic possession post-Exorcist – you’re setting yourself up for a particular level of scrutiny. Layton does himself no favours by including a lot of sweeping aerial shots of the LA skyline, an electro-tinged score and casting one-time Mann star Chris Hemsworth as ​“Mike”, the taciturn, socially awkward but hyper-competent criminal mastermind just trying to make enough money to get away clean. So obvious is the inspiration you…

The new year brought new developments in the world of financial services: specifically, the role of artificial intelligence (AI). In January, JPMorgan Chase announced it would replace its proxy advisory services with artificial intelligence. Chief Executive Jamie Dimon even went as far as to say that proxy advisors are “incompetent” and “should be gone and dead, done with.”  For those who have been following issues related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), this is a major event. The two major proxy advisory firms, Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass, Lewis, & Co. (Glass Lewis),…
