Podcasts about 103m

When it comes to doing good we offer you a tale of how not to do it - the wasteful boondoggle that is USAID - and a tale of how to get it done - with private grit and gumption from a young man in Philadelphia.Evan Ehlers (@evanehlers on X), the Founder and Executive Director of Sharing Excess, joins us to tell us how he took his unused college dining plan and turned it into an organization that's stopped 103M pounds of perfectly good food from ending up in landfills and has fed millions.All that and the Parting Shot.

Nous voici dans le 66ième épisode de Quantum, le podcast francophone de l'actualité quantique. Nous reprenons le cours des événements depuis notre épisode spécial de mi-décembre sur Google Willow. https://www.oezratty.net/wordpress/2024/actualite-quantique-de-decembre-2024-special-google-willow/Dans cet épisode, nous revenons sur divers événements comme la Q2B de Santa Clara, le quantique au CES de Las Vegas, le workshop de la Quantum Energy Initiative à Grenoble, la conférence QT4HEP du CERN. Côté acteurs, nous avons des news sur Alice&Bob, Quobly, Welinq, Qubit Pharmaceuticals, le CNRS, Xanadu, Google, QuEra, Quantum Brilliance, IBM, et puis quelques distractions du côté du bullshit quantique qui est vraiment mis à toutes les sauces de manière très créative en ce moment.ÉvénementsQ2B Santa ClaraDébut décembre 2024 avait lieu la conférence Q2B à Santa Clara.

We all want the best for our kids and in this day and age, we are bombarded with mixed messages, advice and studies that confuse us and complicate parenting.  What if you knew that parenting only came down to 2 issues, along with genetics, that impact long term wellbeing for your child?  These two “things” also impact the relationship with your kids AND your own wellbeing?  Through his studies with The Human Improvement Project, my guest, Matt Larson, explains what modern studies are revealing (through studying the way the brain responds while in an FMRI machine).  These studies are showing us whic parenting strategies work and don’t work.  We can see that if your child has a meltdown, that when we minimize their feelings it doesn't lead to calming, but, VALIDATING them DOES!  If you’re able to name the underlying emotions and why your child is feeling them, this is what helps your child calm and recover, and helps deepen your bond with your child.  In this episode, we talk about how important it is for our children to have deep bonds with their parents (just one or both).  Matt and his colleagues have found the most critical interactions we have with our kids is when they're upset. It's how we react to their upset that builds up or breaks down those bonds.  Listen in as we talk about the little things you can do to ensure the wellbeing of you and your children!    About Matt Larson Matt is a parenting/relationships researcher, technology entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist. He spends most of his time on a non-profit initiative called the Human Improvement Project which distributes completely free, ad free, parenting and relationship apps (In Love While Parenting, The Happy Child) that are installed by over 100,000 parents each month in over 165 countries (15 languages). Previously, he was the executive chairman of TapInfluence a venture-backed Social Media company. Prior to TapInfluence, he was the Founder and CEO of Confio Software. Confio was the fastest growing company in the database tools market. It was acquired in 2013 by Solarwinds (NYSE: SWI) for $103M. He also founded a financial firm whose partners included a former U.S. Senate Majority Leader and a former U.S. House Majority Leader. Previously, Mr. Larson helped found an oil and gas technology company. In the span of a year, the company grew from four employees to over two hundred employees while raising over $110 million in venture capital. In 2012, Mr. Larson was named an Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist. Mr. Larson holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Colorado where he graduated 1st in his class. He is a member of the Mensa Society. Mr. and Mrs. Larson operate a family foundation dedicated to reducing child exploitation. They have lobbied successfully for hundreds of millions in additional federal spending dedicated to this cause. www.thehumanimprovementproject.org   The Happy Child App is available in the App store and Google Play Store: https://hipapp.page.link/XktS   From the podcast: To download The Happy Child  App, Visit the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.     As discussed in the episode, keep these key things in mind:   Notice When your Child Upset. If your child feels unnoticed or invisible, it will diminish their wellbeing. Validate your Child's Emotions: Name their feelings and why they are having them – even if you don’t agree! Create Deep Bonds: using physical touch, affection, emotional validation and celebrating who they innately are. Emotional Safe Haven: Make your home a safe place to be at all times.  Let your kids know that they can come to you at any time they need help, made a mistake, are in trouble or struggling.  It’s so important that they know they won’t be judged or criticized (or punished!) but that you are there to help support them and help to work it out.   Thanks for listening! It means so much to me that you listened to my podcast! If you would like to purchase my book or other parenting resources, visit me at www.yellingcurebook.com   With this podcast, my intention is to build a community of parents that can have open and honest conversations about parenting without judgement or criticism.  We have too much of that!  I honor each parent and their path towards becoming the best parent they can be.  My hope is to inspire more parents to consider the practice of Peaceful Parenting.

Meet Evan Tardy. His WHY is Simplify. Interviewed by WHY Institute Founder Dr. Gary Sanchez (Better Way).Since 2010, Evan has built and led the Dr. Axe organization from $0 in revenue and no employees, to over 150 employees with revenue exceeding $100M. He cut his teeth in digital performance marketing and ecommerce where he helped build profitable direct response campaigns of $1M+/month. He then led the company to grow a 2M+ person email list, over 4M social media subscribers, and SEO traffic reaching 20M+ visitors per month. As the President, he landed the company on the INC. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies in America list two years in a row, becoming the fastest growing company in Tennessee in 2017. In 2018, they sold a portion of the company for $103M. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Digital #10Booking.com abandons scarcity marketing: from June 2020 (the latest), the OTA will have to stop showing messages such as “only one room like this left,” “other persons showed interest in this hotel in the last 24 hours”, “the room is popular,” or “time-limited offer”. The European Commission and National Consumer Protection, in fact, identified these techniques as “manipulative”.Digital #9Meanwhile, in Russia, the Federal Anti-monopoly Service found Booking.com to be in breach of Russian anti-monopoly laws (a crime punishable with fines from 1% to 15% of the revenue generated in the Country). The reason? Booking.com seems to have asked hotels to offer the same rates on competitor hotel reservation websites.Digital #8Uber co-Founder (and former CEO), Travis Kalanick, resigned. After the New York Times accused Kalanick (that, once wrote: “for the first time in my life I was leading an organization that wasn’t on the brink of failure each day”) of deceiving regulators in 2017, Expedia’s Dara Khosrowshahi took over the CEO position. Kalanick sold all of his stocks in Uber, and he has now, officially, nothing tying him up to the carsharing app. The market, according to the stock, didn’t seem to care.Digital #7Google confirmed a local search algorithm update. According to Third Door Media co-Founder, Danny Sullivan, the update is separated from the recent BERT update. If you’re (still) not optimizing your GMB listing, now you have another reason not to procrastinate.Digital #6AI-powered flight assistant bot, Eddy Travels, completed a $500,000 pre-seed round. The startup offers in-chat flight deals on, amongst others, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Slack. CEO and co-Founder, Edmundas Balčikonis, (unsurprisingly) played the super-app card: “We want to expand into other products (…) into tours and activities, expand into travel insurance and other categories.”Digital #5OYO will fire 2,000 employees by the end of the month. The company is known for his inclination to automatize processes whenever possible, so this may not necessarily be a bad omen. More alarming, however, is another rumor: owners are complaining that they are not being paid by the Indian unicorn, with due invoices dating as far as May 2019…Digital #4The Information Commissioner’s Office stated that Marriott had “agreed to an extension of the regulatory process” (for the infamous Starwood data breach) “until 31 March 2020,” and there is speculation the original $123M fine will be drastically reduced.Digital #3According to Skift, U.S. hotels increased National TV ad investments by a striking 32%, with Marriott alone increasing its spend by over $50M. Is this part of the design to be less Google-dependent? With Hilton putting $103M in the old school media, and Marriott echoing with $90M, the question is legitimate. When it comes to predicting the future, however, I tend to trust airlines better than hotels: and, in 2019, they cut TV investments by 47%…Digital #2According to Lindy Andersen, director of global accounts at Expedia Group, artificial intelligence can “alleviate stressors and drive better efficiencies of our entire platform.” The statement was given during a recent EyeForTravel webinar titled Customer experience lab: automation, partnerships and the human touch. According to Andersen, creating a “frictionless travel” experience will be one of the main focuses of Expedia in 2020.Digital #1Not strictly travel-related, but another step to ASI (and to a cancer-free world) has been made: Google’s health research department has developed an AI system that can outperform radiologists at detecting breast cancer. The system was trained by data coming from thousands of mammograms. On the more sci-fi side of the spectrum, Samsung unveiled its artificial humans (or glorified video chatbots, to be more realistic), called Neons.

According to Skift, U.S. hotels increased National TV ad investments by a striking 32%, with Marriott alone increasing its spend by over $50M. Is this part of the design to be less Google-dependent? With Hilton putting $103M in the old school media, and Marriott echoing with $90M, the question is legitimate. When it comes to predicting the future, however, I tend to trust airlines better than hotels: and, in 2019, they cut TV investments by 47%
