  EP34: The Rights Nobody Expected: Ship, Plank, or Rivet?

  Aug 20, 2026—

  Drew and Reese use the Ferryman Series capstone as an education-first case study in rights and document mechanics: documents force diagnostic; CEO = ship, plank, or rivet. The episode maps four steps — name the decision, map authority, start the clock, and write the counterfactual — and pays off EP33's setup episode. Source article: https://gp.advalorem.io/insights/2026-08-20-ferryman-rights-nobody-expected.html.

  EP33: The Chair, the Man, and the Vessel — The Ferryman Series (Pt 1)

  Aug 17, 2026—

  Drew and Reese open The Ferryman Series with the question every board eventually asks and every founder secretly avoids: is the CEO the ship, a plank, or a temporary rivet? We trace Steve Jobs 1985, Adam Neumann 2019, Travis Kalanick 2017, Netflix's co-CEO architecture, and Disney's 2024 proxy fight to land on why titles are hypotheses, not proof.

  EP32: The $600M Litigation-Credit Signal — Underwrite the Claim, Not the Headline

  Aug 13, 2026—

  Drew and Reese use Aperture Investors’ litigation-credit platform as an education-first case study in underwriting legal receivables. The episode separates claim value from collectible value, maps legal milestones to cash, runs delay cases, and writes a loss map before the next update. Research anchor: https://alternativecreditinvestor.com/2026/08/12/aperture-expands-litigation-credit-platform-beyond-600m/.

  EP31: AI CapEx Is the New Deployment Test — Follow the Cash Flow

  Aug 10, 2026—

  Drew and Reese use the AI infrastructure buildout as an education-first allocation case study: separate power, compute, workload, contract, and cash; distinguish reservations from utilization; run full-stack unit economics; and pre-write the evidence that would disconfirm the thesis. Four-step playbook: draw the physical chain; separate reservation from utilization; run the full-stack economics; and write the disconfirming evidence before the next update. Research anchor: https://www.reuters.com/commentary/reuters-open-interest/data-centre-reality-check-could-slam-brakes-ai-earnings-boom-joachim-klement-2026-08-05/.

  EP30: Humanoid's $152M Robot Bet — Deployment Is the Real Milestone

  Aug 6, 2026—

  Drew and Reese unpack Humanoid's $152M Series A at a $1.35B post-money valuation and use the round as an education-first physical-AI allocation case study. The key question is not whether the robot looks impressive; it is whether customer demand, manufacturing, and software utilization close a repeatable deployment loop. Four-step playbook: classify demo, pilot, or production; measure the task and human intervention; map the deployment stack; and stage-gate the evidence with a review date and a disconfirming signal. Research: https://www.reuters.com/business/robotics-startup-humanoid-raises-152-million-series-round-135-billion-valuation-2026-07-21/ and https://www.xmaquina.io/blog/humanoid-digest-july-2026 and https://reasoncore.dev/post/humanoid-raises-152m-series-a-at-135b-valuation-to-scale-hmnd-01-and-kinetiq.
