LOS ANGELES, CA - July 29, 2026 - RAD Intel, the AI marketing holding company building a portfolio of intelligence-powered operating businesses, today announced the appointment of Christina Baker as Director of People. Baker will lead people strategy across RAD Intel's growing portfolio, overseeing talent acquisition, employee development, organizational effectiveness and culture. She will partner closely with executive leadership to build the people infrastructure that supports scalable growth while preserving the entrepreneurial strengths of each operating business. Her appointment comes as RAD Intel continues growing its portfolio, strengthening the people systems that help high-growth organizations scale without losing the agility and culture that drive innovation. As organizations continue adopting AI, technology alone is no longer enough to create a competitive advantage. Sustainable growth also depends on building organizations that can attract exceptional talent, adapt quickly to change and give employees the structure and support to perform at their best. People become even more important in a portfolio of growing businesses, where each company needs the flexibility to preserve its own culture while benefiting from shared expertise and resources. As RAD Intel continues to expand, Baker will help build the people systems that support both individual operating companies and the long-term success of the broader organization. Baker brings more than a decade of experience leading people operations across high-growth organizations in Canada and the United States. Throughout her career, she has built HR infrastructure from the ground up, partnered with executive leadership on organizational growth and workforce planning, and helped scale teams across complex, multi-jurisdiction organizations. Baker said she's excited to join an organization that recognizes the importance of investing in both technology and people. "Building great companies starts with building great teams, and I look forward to helping create the people strategies and organizational foundation that will support RAD Intel's continued growth." "As we continue expanding our portfolio, we're investing just as intentionally in the infrastructure behind our businesses as we are in the businesses themselves," said Jeremy Barnett, co-founder and CEO of RAD Intel. "Operations, finance and people are foundational to building companies that scale, and Baker brings the experience and leadership to strengthen that foundation as we continue growing." As RAD Intel's portfolio grows, building strong teams and scalable people systems will become increasingly important to supporting every business while strengthening the organization as a whole. Baker will help build that foundation for the company's next phase of growth.

RAD Intel appoints Leroy Carver as Vice President of Operations to scale ai-powered operating model. Leadership Jul 29, 2026 Carly Cowie Carver will help build the operational systems supporting RAD Intel's next stage of growth as it expands its AI-powered portfolio. LOS ANGELES, CA - July 29, 2026 - RAD Intel, the AI marketing holding company building a portfolio of intelligence-powered operating businesses, today announced the appointment of Leroy Carver as Vice President of Operations. Carver will oversee operations across RAD Intel's growing portfolio, partnering closely with executive leadership to build the systems, processes and performance frameworks that enable scalable growth while preserving the unique strengths of each business. His appointment comes as RAD Intel enters its next stage of growth, expanding its portfolio through its Artificial Intelligence Buyout (AIBO) strategy and scaling a shared intelligence layer across multiple operating businesses. As AI becomes part of everyday business operations, the challenge is shifting from adoption to execution. Companies no longer compete on access to AI alone. They compete on how consistently they can turn intelligence into repeatable decisions, efficient operations and scalable growth. That challenge becomes even more important inside a holding company model, where multiple businesses benefit from shared intelligence while serving different customers and markets. RAD Intel combines a centralized AI intelligence layer with specialized operating businesses including RAD Amplify, Lickly and AV Communications (AVC). As the portfolio continues to expand, operational excellence becomes increasingly important for helping every business move faster while benefiting from shared intelligence. Carver brings nearly a decade of operational leadership experience from Snap Inc., where he helped build and scale global support operations for one of the world's largest technology platforms. As Scaled Operations Lead, he expanded the company's Technical Ad Support organization into a global team spanning Warsaw, Dublin, Kuala Lumpur and Manila, while developing scalable systems that improved operational performance. "RAD Intel is building something that's both ambitious and practical," Carver said. "The opportunity to help create the operational foundation for a growing portfolio of AI-powered businesses was an exciting challenge, and I'm looking forward to helping the organization scale for the long term." "As we continue expanding our portfolio, we're investing just as intentionally in the infrastructure behind our businesses as we are in the businesses themselves," said Jeremy Barnett, co-founder and CEO of RAD Intel. "Operations, finance and people are foundational to building companies that scale, and Carver brings the experience and leadership to strengthen that foundation as we continue growing." As RAD Intel's portfolio grows, operational discipline will become increasingly important to scaling every business without sacrificing the focus that makes each one successful. Carver will help build that foundation for the company's next phase of growth.

Investors on Reddit are calling out strategies marketed as easy passive income, warning that many overhyped approaches quietly transfer risk to buyers. Common targets included blind value investing in cheap stocks, technical analysis, timing the dip, high-yield crypto platforms, options trading treated like lottery tickets, and collectibles driven by hype. The thread highlighted that strategies promising quick returns often mask hidden risks. One commenter noted that offers "too good to be true" are typically scams, particularly platforms offering unusually high interest rates before collapsing. Despite the scepticism, investors agreed on what works: low-cost index funds, consistent investing over time, and focusing on total returns rather than just dividends. As one noted, markets punish overconfidence when treated like "a vending machine instead of a probabilistic system.
