Donna Loughlin reposted thisDonna Loughlin reposted thisMonterey Car Week 2026 is shaping up. But you know what you won't see? A cheap sports car. Hmmm? -Cadillac pulling the wrapper off a V-Series.

Elite consignments, 1968 Porsche 907 Langheck, an ultra-rare 1962 Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato, and the big daddy! a pop-art-liveried 1996 McLaren F1 GTR. The top end of the market is polarizing: $3M+ hyper cars each cosplaying as an analog masterpieces.

Donna Loughlin liked thisAlways a great time speaking with Sam and sharing some insights we have learned over the last few years....Donna Loughlin liked thisThis first episode finally made it online at 2 AM. I totally underestimated how brilliantly I would be let down by the internet in Germany. I would like to extend a huge and heart felt thanks to Mark Byass and Adam Trowell at Silent Resource for backing the relaunch of the podcast so hard. They're a an incognito design and surfacing operation based in Stuttgart with a strong presence in the UK. They somehow have the best talent in the industry on tap. I have worked with them personally and cannot speakly highly enough of their integrity when it comes to business both for clients as well as their collaborators - neither respond well to 'boss!' They also saw real value in supporting the show and were the first people to throw down hard paper for multiple episodes. It blew me away given that they are a very small business, but they are big fans of the show and really pushed me to get the ball rolling again. Thanks to everyone that waited up - I have learnt a lesson, I promise! #cardesign #crownunfiltered

Donna Loughlin liked thisDonna Loughlin liked thisWe took delivery of our first carbon fiber chassis!!! a huge milestone for Oilstainlab The decision to develop and launch with our own tub will enable a very exciting future product pipeline, but it has been incredibly challenging to get to this point. From disrupted supply chains, tariffs, complex engineering issues and composites manufacturing nuances; all set up and navigated from scratch by our elite and tight team. Bravo gang! Now its time to assemble the first driving chassis and start validating basic performance metrics, the assembly diagrams, order of operations, quality assurance, maintenance manuals, and everything else that needs to be developed for a brand new car.

Donna Loughlin liked thisIt all started with bioplastics in my kitchen. I definitely didn’t know where that curiosity would take me. Five years later, we’re a team of 16 building Eywa, producing pharmaceutical-grade psilocybin and trying to rethink how some of the most promising treatments in mental health can be made and delivered. Thank you Phillip Lanos and Grit Daily News for taking the time to tell the story and for capturing so much of the journey of Eywa Biotech in this conversation.

Donna Loughlin liked thisDonna Loughlin liked thisWhen we backed Arcee AI’s seed in 2023, Mark McQuade and the team were a small group building custom SLMs for enterprises. Since then, they have moved from post-training other people's models to training four open-weight models of their own for $20 million, including the 400B-parameter Trinity Large. They've been incredibly efficient with their spend while expansive in their ambition: building massive models for businesses and institutions that need an alternative to the closed-weight providers, with partners ranging from bolt.new to the U.S. Department of Energy. 🤯 As I wrote in July, every firm has a right to its own learning loop. Companies shouldn't have to pay for intelligence twice: once with money, and again with the proprietary knowledge they give up through their prompts, corrections and evals. That knowledge should compound inside the company's own trust boundary. That is why open weights matter, and why Arcee matters. Fortune covered Arcee's Series B at a $1 billion valuation and Mark's decision to bet the company on American open-weight models. Mark and this team have done an extraordinary amount with very little, and they are still early. We're excited to have been on the journey from the beginning. Link in comments 👇

Donna Loughlin liked thisDonna Loughlin liked thisLong Beach felt like coming home to a community united by purpose. At the IANA Intermodal EXPO, I was proud to watch the Glīd team engage with customers, peers, investors, and partners while walking them through Rāden and EZRA-1SIX. Thank you to Anne Reinke for leading one of the most inclusive transportation events I have attended. Road, rail, ports, and technology leaders leaned toward one another to solve problems that affect us all. I am also grateful to Dr. Noel Hacegaba for sitting down with me to discuss Glīd and his 2050 Vision for a Port of the Future (Port of Long Beach) that is fast, resilient, clean, and connected. Our conversation affirmed how closely that vision aligns with our mission to connect road and rail, reduce friction, and make existing infrastructure work better together. I then spent time with Kofi Asante at Bluecore Energy HQ’s manufacturing facility. Kofi and his brilliant team are working to democratize access to clean, reliable energy. From floating nuclear power to desalination that can turn ocean water into clean drinking water, they are showing how deep technology can confront energy poverty and water scarcity while expanding human dignity and opportunity. America has an opportunity not only to reindustrialize, but to build better than the generations before us. That is the purpose behind Glīd: strengthening supply chains, connecting communities, and building a more resilient nation. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” Colossians 3:23 Thank you to the City of Long Beach , Intermodal Association of North America, and SoCal Deep Tech for bringing builders and movers together and creating space for meaningful work. I am grateful for every conversation, hug, prayer, and word of wisdom shared. Let’s Glīd 🙏🏾💚🖖🏾 #LongBeach #IANAEXPO #SoCalDeepTech #SupplyChain #AmericanInnovation

Donna Loughlin liked thisDonna Loughlin liked thisDear network, Boost VC Summit is a wrap. 5 days in San Mateo, plenty of conversations, and 1 thing I'm taking home. Thank you to the whole Boost VC team. You put a psilocybin manufacturer from LATAM and a mental-health AI startup in the same room as deep-tech founders / LPs/VC and amazing advisors, and treated both as the obvious thing to back. That is rarer than it sounds. Special thank you to Adam Draper and Maddie Callander for believing in us! The 1 thing: nothing is certain we have to keep grinding and keep pushing forward, survive and have resilience. To everyone who took the dinner, the walk or the tea: thank you. The calendar worked. Together with Victoria Costa Paz and the team in Eywa Biotech we will do our best to make our mission real! Let's keep grinding! #BoostVC #Biotech

Employee disengagement cost the global economy $438 billion in 2024. Most companies are hemorrhaging productivity while underinvesting in the one function that could fix it. After 30 years of helping companies scale, I'm seeing a pattern: High-growth companies spend 40% more on marketing and 20% more on sales—but they're not making equivalent investments in communications infrastructure. The result? Talented people drowning. Systems collapsing at predictable growth inflection points. Crisis unpreparedness that costs hundreds of millions. In my latest Forbes Agency Council article, I break down: → Why communications infrastructure breaks at every growth stage → The framework I use to help companies decide what to build vs. buy → How to invest before the system fails (not after) The question isn't whether you'll invest in infrastructure. It's whether you'll invest before or after it breaks. https://lnkd.in/gEE68m7r #CommunicationsStrategy #BusinessGrowth #Leadership #EmployeeEngagement

AI has completely changed how people find, and trust, information. With zero-click summaries shaping perceptions in seconds, it has become one of the world’s most powerful (and inscrutable) brand ambassadors. That’s why I’m so proud of We. Communications’ new report with the USC Center for Public Relations, "Message vs. the Machine." A truly essential primer for communicators ready to lead in the AI era.

I'm not one to talk - or write - about politics, but this clip hooked me when watched through a marketing lens. What's wrong with AI data centers? They're leaving people behind, the administration says. Wow, what a great message that speaks to a base. That's not a false statement. It's possible that the buildout of data centers will not create more jobs in the small towns where they're created post construction, says Lo Toney of Plexo Capital. In other words, this is a classic corporate communication trap: trying to solve a structural, real-world conflict with a public relations campaign. This is a stark reminder that no amount of excellent copy or strategic messaging can smooth over a gap where the stakeholder's lived experience contradicts the corporate narrative. https://lnkd.in/exA2wKdB
